(Andrew Milne - Area Team (NW) Manager)
To update committee on progress with the delivery of highway schemes and to provide an update on the latest budgetary position for highway schemes, revenue maintenance and Community Pride expenditure.
Decision: The Local Committee noted the progress with the ITS highways and developer funded schemes;
The Local Committee noted that a further Highways update report is to be brought back to the next meeting of this Committee.
Minutes: Andrew Milne, Area Highways Manager, introduced the report which updated the committee on the status of highways schemes within the Borough.
It was noted that two schemes were on hold as the budget was deliberately oversubscribed to ensure all funds were spent. The ward member was disappointed to note that the Chertsey Road scheme would not therefore be implemented (cost £15,000), however, this could be progressed at the beginning of the next financial year using community pride funds or could be funded via members allocations (potentially 50/50 with the neighbouring Runneymede ward member). This will be discussed at the private members meeting in January, as pooled revenue funds could also be considered.
RESOLVED: The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) noted the progress with the ITS highways and developer funded schemes;
The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) noted that a further Highways update report was to be brought back to the next meeting.

MCDONALD ROAD, LIGHTWATER - SPEED LIMIT ALTERATION PDF 41 KB
(Andrew Milne – Area Team (NW) Manager)
To seek authorisation to implement a reduction in speed limit to 30mph.
Additional documents: Decision: The Local Committee approved the advertising of a Traffic Regulation Order, the effect of which will be to introduce a 30mph speed limit on MacDonald Road, between the start of the existing 30mph limit and its junction with Red Road, a distance of approximately 90 metres
The Local Committee approved that any objections to the Traffic Regulation Order should be considered and resolved by the Area Team Manager for Highways in consultation with the Divisional Member and Chairman and that this issue only be returned to Committee if any objections prove insurmountable.
The Local Committee approved that, once any objections have been considered and resolved, the Order be made.
Minutes: Andrew Milne, Area Highways Manager, introduced the report which outlined the reasons for changing the speed limit. The report was discussed at length as this item linked with the public questions raised over the Red Road.
It was confirmed that the Red Road area had been looked at in detail, including the installation of pedestrian crossings and pedestrian islands, but the width of the road and the slope on the MOD side made construction difficult. Potential junction improvements at Macdonald Road had also been investigated, however, there might be contributions from the Deepcut development towards this in the future. Members discussed raising awareness with local residents of the new speed limits and the safety schemes being undertaken on the Red Road. It was agreed that a briefing update on the road would be provided to parish councils and the two ward members involved would oversee this.
RESOLVED: The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) approved the advertising of a Traffic Regulation Order, the effect of which will be to introduce a 30mph speed limit on MacDonald Road, between the start of the existing 30mph limit and its junction with Red Road, a distance of approximately 90 metres
