WRITTEN MEMBERS QUESTIONS
To receive any written questions from Members under Standing Order 47. Notice must be given in writing to the Community Partnership & Committee Officer by 12 noon 4 working days before the meeting. Minutes: One written member question was received from Cllr Mike Goodman regarding the A322 Bagshot by-pass.
The question asked :-
For a number of years concerns have been expressed at the issues arising from HGV's being allowed to park in the lay-by on the A322 when travelling north. It was agreed that SCC would discuss this issue with the Police and SHBC and report back to the Local Area Committee on next steps. Could members please have a formal update on actions that are being proposed?
The Area Highways Manager responded:-
Detailed discussions have been held with Tim Pashen at Surrey Heath Borough Council and we have consulted Surrey Police and the Road Haulage association. Surrey Police now support the closure of the layby and we are now in a position to close this off. We would normally implement a 6 month experimental closure to test what alternatives would be used – however, this would cost £20,000 to £30,000, so is not good use of public money, so we are proposing a permanent closure.
We will need a limited design exercise to identify what materials will be needed and we will need to identify funds for this.
Members welcomed the news and offered portions of their highways fund to make this happen. Residents were thanked for continuing to raise this issue and for coming along to the Committee. Members thanked the Highways Manager and asked that the work be started asap.

The presentation highlighted some of the good work being undertaken, but also highlighted that some issues needed to be tackled. In particular, there are blockages getting into the system.
The presenters were keen to look at what works well and to share best practice, but also to look at case studies locally where things have not been so successful.
