PETITIONS
To receive any petitions in accordance with Standing Order 65 or letters of representation in accordance with the Local Protocol. An officer response will be provided to each petition / letter of representation.
1. Parking on The Mount, Fetcham
2. Speed limit reduction to 20mph, Pixham Lane Dorking Additional documents: Minutes: Mr Gibson received a written response from officers. He highlighted the issue of The Mount being used for commuter parking and the potential for collision with cars entering from Cobham road and the obstruction of residents’ drives. Residents feel that restrictions from 09:30-11:00 along the length of the road would address the issue.
Parking officers confirmed they had looked at proposals for this and they will be included in the parking review and go out to consultation.
Mr Hammond received a written response from officers and bought the committee’s attention to the safety risk to both pedestrians and cyclists and several near misses by Pixham Lane being used as a cut through from the A24 to the A25, avoiding the Deepdene roundabout. Residents feel a reduction in the speed limit from 30mph to 20mph would address these issues.
PC Arthur, Police Road Safety Officer confirmed that the mean speed on the road was 28mph and a reduction to 20mph could not be enforced as it would not be in line with government guidelines. Parking on the road is the main reason for the risks occurring.
The divisional member for Dorking Hills confirmed parking is an issue on Pixham Lane and felt this would be addressed by the parking review. However she felt that the 20mph speed limit should be investigated further and the possibility of advisory 20mph speed limits between Chester Close and the railway bridge.
The Area Highways Manager highlighted that mean speeds must be 23mph before a 20mph speed limit reduction could be considered. This would mean that engineering works would be required on the road to slow the traffic. Officers will look into this and advisory limits.
The divisional member for Dorking Rural highlighted that a review of the speed limit policy would shortly be going to cabinet.
The committee agreed to write to the portfolio holder to request a reduction to 20mph and a response would be bought back to a future committee.

(iv) To authorise officers to continue to develop the plans for the Leatherhead Town Centre cycle scheme; in order to take advantage of any future funding schemes.
Reason for Decision
The Local Committee felt this was a positive investment for cycling in Mole Valley and would improve the safety of cyclist. The Local Committee acknowledge consultation with local residents and in particular; local schools, sheltered housing schemes and businesses near the proposed route would be vital. The Committee also felt that the Leatherhead Town Centre scheme had a great deal of merit and that officers should continue to develop the plans in order to capitalise on any further funding that may become available. Minutes: Public Participation
Mr Meudell presented the committee with a map of an alternative route for the cycle path, along Linden Pitt Path. He highlighted the positives of the path not running along that A24 which was felt to not have the space for segregated or shared use. It was felt the current proposal would not appeal to adult cyclists. The proposed traffic lights at the Knoll roundabout where a particular cause for concern due to the impact upon traffic flow. Mr Meudell felt that upgrading the Linden Pitt path and bridge over the A24 to cycle use would be a more suitable option.
Mr Chrisham felt it was important for the Olympic legacy of cycling to be encouraged in the local area. He felt that the A24 route would be intimidating to many family or young cyclists. He felt it was important that further consultation be undertaken with the local community prior to implementation.
The divisional member for Ashtead raised queries as to whether the Linden Pitt Path bridge would actually meet cycle requirements? He also echoed the concerns regarding the traffic lights at the Knoll roundabout. The divisional member for Leatherhead acknowledged that both routes had potential challenges but had serious concerns about the suitability of the bridge for cycle use along with other users.
Main Discussion
Officers highlighted that the money had been awareded for the A24 route Leatherhead to Ashtead and it was not possible to change this to another scheme. When the scheme was initially submitted it was done on the basis of which best complied with Department for Transport guidelines. The key aim of the scheme was to improve cycling safety and would be suitable from 12 years and up. Officers would be looking at the detailed designs and going out to consultation with the local public. Councillors suggested a venue in Leatherhead town centre and Ashtead would provide the optimum location. Councillors also proposed a list of suitable bodies with which officers should consult and asked that officers amend the consultation plan. This recommendation was proposed by the divisional member for Bookham and Fetcham West and seconded by the divisional member for Leatherhead and Fetcham East.
Officers confirmed the Leatherhead Town Centre scheme was on the reserve list of schemes. Councillors felt it would be best to continue to work on this scheme so work could progress quickly should they be successful in receiving funding from other sources.
The Local Committee (Mole Valley) AGREED to AMEND the recommendation (i) to:
(i) the consultation plan presented within this report is approved subject to the amendments proposed by the Local Committee. The detailed designs for the scheme will be presented to the local committee’s next meeting on 11 September 2013 prior to construction.
