Issue - meetings

The Bisley to Knaphill cycle route (Pluto Trail) is already partly established over most of its route, but is not joined up all the way nor does it have direction signs. The Local Committee is asked to adopt an official off road route between Clews Lane and Church Road  and look to introduce this route at the first opportunity when sufficient funding becomes available.

The county council in partnership with three borough councils were successful in obtaining over £18 million in grant funding from the Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF), focused on Woking, Guildford and Redhill-Reigate.

Some of this work is not confined to the borough of Woking where a cycle route is planned to link Bisley to the existing Cycle Woking route at Knaphill.

The extended route though Bisley could use either existing off road shared routes and quiet streets, estimated at £8,500 or an off road route adjacent to the A322 between Clews Lane and School Close, estimated at £140,000. However, currently there is not sufficient funding available to carry out the A322 option.

The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) agreed :

(i)    To adopt Option 2 as the official off road cycle route between Clews Lane and Church Road.

(ii)   To Option 3, do nothing now, but retain the £8,500 developer contribution and put this towards creating the option 2 route at a later date..
