    Additional documents:

    Minutes:

    One question was raised in the informal public question session before the start of the Committee.  The question and response is attached as Annex B.

     

    Two formal written public questions were received.

     

    The first public question was presented by Roy Davey, Chairman of Shere Parish Council

     

    ‘Will the committee now actually consider and make a decision on our specific and localised petition, of June 2014 to establish a ban on HGVs over 7.5 ton from travelling through Shere Village?’

     

    The officer response to the question was published as a supplementary paper to the agenda and is attached as Annex A.

     

    Supplementary question:

     

    Will the Committee re-look at the petition which was requesting a very specific local ban to stop HGVS going through Shere not an area wide ban.

     

    Members commented that Middle Street in Shere is not able to cope with heavy vehicles and there has been damage to ancient buildings and asked the Committee not to lose sight of this issue.

    Minutes:

    Two Member Questions were received.

     

    At the July Local Committee meeting, it was explained that the urgent resurfacing work on the Hog's Back A31 was being funded out of the Project Horizon scheme which has resulted in a number of roads being knocked off the programme.

     

    Question 1 from County Councillor Angela Goodwin

     

    Question: Which roads have been knocked off the Project Horizon scheme and what does the latest prioritisation list / revised resurfacing list look like now for Guildford?

     

    Answer 1

     

    Unfortunately these costs, in the region of £800K, will need to be funded from the capital maintenance budget. At this stage SCC do not need to alter the published list of schemes on the Horizon 2 programme. Any scheme postponement will be identified through normal programme management e.g. where a clash with utility works occurs. The ‘future schemes for consideration list’ are only provisional and therefore replacement schemes will not be identified as future budgets remain uncertain.

     

    Question 2 from County Councillor David Goodwin

     

    Question: The Hog's Back A31 was resurfaced in the not too distant past. Was this work covered by its contractor and, if so, is Surrey Highways looking to claim the £800k costs (or part thereof) from the contractor and, if it is unable to do so, what is the permanent solution to source the missing funding that was required to undertake these urgent repairs?

     

    Answer 2

     

    The costs for emergency works on the A31 Hogs Back will not be recovered under any guarantee from previous surfacing scheme suppliers. The material that was removed from the top layer to allow the new surfacing to be applied was a previous surface dressing in excess of ten years old.

PROPOSED PROHIBITION OF ALL VEHICLES ON PART OF BYWAYS OPEN TO ALL TRAFFIC Nos. 518 & 519 AMENDMENT ORDER (EXECUTIVE FUNCTION FOR DECISION) pdf icon PDF 142 KB

    The report sets out information relating to the Notice of Intention published relating to a proposed Traffic Regulation Order on Surrey County Council (Ash Green Lane West (Right of Way No. 518, D80) and Spoil Lane (Right of Way No. 519, D74) in the Parishes of Ash, Normandy and Tongham) (Prohibition of Through Traffic) Amendment Order 2017.

    Additional documents:

    Decision:

    The Local Committee (Guildford) agreed that:

     

    The Surrey County Council Ash Green Lane West (Right of Way No. 518, D80) and Spoil Lane (Right of Way No. 519, D74) in the Parishes of Ash, Normandy and Tongham) (Prohibition of Through Traffic) Amendment Order 2017 as shown on Drawing No. 3/1/54/H22 be made, following the conditions being met:

     

    (1)  An adequate flooding plan is in place having been agreed by the Countryside Access Team Manager in consultation with the Strategic Network Resilience Team, Area Highways Manager and Divisional Member

    (2)  Highways plans are updated to include drainage for this scheme

     

    Reasons: Officers support the application to make an Amendment Order to allow public vehicular access to the new housing development on the basis that the BOAT will be surfaced to withstand traffic. The Order would meet the legal and policy criteria for making such Orders.

    Minutes:

    The Chairman introduced the item and explained that Rights of Way matters are dealt with slightly differently as they are a quasi-judicial function.  The Chairman gave Members the opportunity to declare any interests in the item.

     

    Members had resolved at their meeting on 6 July 2017 to advertise a Notice of Intention to make a TRO Amendment Order:

     

    (i)            That a Notice of Intention to make a Traffic Regulation Amendment Order (TRO) be published as shown on Drawing No. 3/1/54/H22 (Annex A). Where significant (and relevant) objections are received, or no objections are received, to delegate to the Countryside Access Manager the ability to agree whether an Order may be made, in consultation with the Divisional Member, and the Local Committee Chairman and Vice-Chairman. The TRO would not be made until a detailed highway improvement works plan for Ash Green Lane West has been approved.

     

    (ii)           To delegate to the Countryside Access Manager in consultation with the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Divisional Member the ability to accede to any unresolved objections and decide whether the TRO may be made.

     

    (iii)          Where substantial (and relevant) objections are received, or significant modifications proposed, the Countryside Access Manager in consultation with the Divisional Member and the Local Committee Chairman and Vice-Chairman, may refer the decision on whether the TRO be made back to the Committee.

     

    The Notice, Draft Order, Statement of Reasons and details for making Objections to Traffic Regulation Orders were published on 14 July. Twenty-eight objections were received within the statutory period. In light of the public interest evidenced by the number of objections the Countryside Access Manager has referred this matter back to Committee. Members were asked to consider the objections and to decide whether the legal and policy criteria for making the TRO Amendment Order still apply. Members may then decide whether the Order should be made. Alternatively, Members may decide to hold a Public Inquiry to decide the matter. There is no legal requirement to hold a Public Inquiry. The recommendation to Members is that the TRO Amendment Order should be made as advertised.

     

    Speakers in favour, objecting and the applicant’s response:

     

    In favour: (no notifications of speakers were received)

     

    Objector:

     

    Ms S Wyeth-Price stated that the TRO is no longer relevant and the Council have no legal obligation to lift the TRO on the BOAT in order to give the land over to the development. The TRO is not a requirement for planning permission.

    In addition, the BOAT Modification Order Report is factually incorrect in many places and misleading. The report states that plans have been approved when they have not been and the BOAT Modification Order report has merged several statements into one quote to make it appear to the public, and to the councillors, that this is a condition imposed by the Planning Inspectorate when it is not.

     

     

    Work has been started on the development, specifically the installation of a new surface to BOAT 518, safety and drainage are significant concerns. The road is not wide  ...  view the full minutes text for item 8/17

SHERE RURAL AREA HGV REVIEW (EXECUTIVE FUNCTION FOR DECISION) pdf icon PDF 169 KB

    This report summarises the feasibility work and further consultation carried out during the review of Heavy Goods Vehicle (HGV) movements through the study area (Annex A).

     

    The report also outlines the proposed measures for HGV management within the area that have been considered during this process and puts forward a recommended concept for Local Committee approval.

     

    Additional documents:

    Decision:

    The Local Committee (Guildford):

     

    (i)      Acknowledged the outcome of continued dialogue with local parish councils regarding the development of HGV interventions in the area.

     

    (ii)      Agreed the concept of a proposed ‘Quiet Lane / Unsuitable for HGV’ pilot zone to cover a defined area of the Surrey Hills (as set out in Annex C) within the wider study area.

     

    Reasons for recommendations:

     

    To ensure that Members are kept informed of the outcome of local stakeholder engagement regarding HGV management measures.

     

    To enable the proposed concept to be brought to the Local Committees of neighbouring boroughs and districts (Mole Valley and Waverley) for agreement and subsequently included in a future Local Transport Strategy forward programme of transport measures for implementation via appropriate funding streams.

    Minutes:

    Members asked how the Quiet Lane/Unsuitable for HGV pilot zone would be enforced and what alternative routes would HGVs travel on.  Officers informed members that advisory signs would be put up.  Members commented that a proper monitoring investigation needs to be undertaken as part of the pilot in and around the area using base line data and then gathering data after the signs have been in place for a period of time.  Officers stated that base line date was available in the feasibility report and that it would be of benefit to undertake monitoring.

     

    Members discussed the usefulness of Sat Nav data from the HGV lorries which could be useful for monitoring purposes.

     

    Action: Officers to look into whether there is route information available from sat Nav providers that would be helpful for data monitoring purposes.

     

    Members also queried whether an HGV ban would be possible, the pilot wouldn’t prevent an HGV ban in the future however HGVs still need to be given access to areas and it would be difficult to enforce a full HGV ban.

     

    The Chairman stated that the pilot would be looking for financial support from Waverley and Mole Valley Local Committees also covering the pilot area.

     

    The Local Committee (Guildford):

     

    (i)      Acknowledged the outcome of continued dialogue with local parish councils regarding the development of HGV interventions in the area.

     

    (ii)      Agreed the concept of a proposed ‘Quiet Lane / Unsuitable for HGV’ pilot zone to cover a defined area of the Surrey Hills (as set out in Annex C) within the wider study area.

    Additional documents:

    Minutes:

    The Surrey Fire and Rescue item was postponed until after the Cabinet Member’s Update item as the meeting had progressed more quickly than expected.

     

    The report outlined the major strands of activity undertaken within the Guildford area by the Surrey Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) teams based at Guildford and Gomshall Fire Stations during 2016 – 17.  It contained information on the various activities undertaken by the Borough team to reduce the risk from fire, water and road traffic incidents to the residents of Guildford Borough, including direct contact, public education programmes and campaigns. Relevant County wide activity was also included.  Appendix 1 to the report provided specific Key Performance Indicators for SFRS.

     

    Members asked how they could assist the Surrey Fire and Rescue Service the Group Commander for North West Surrey responded that the Committee could help by supporting the service’s public safety plan and supporting Senior Fire Officers to meet their budgetary requirements sooner rather than later.

     

    Members expressed thanks to the Fire and Rescue Service for all their hard work.  Members also asked how the service compares with others across the country. The Group Commander informed the Committee that in the last 10 years there has been a significant reduction in fires across the United Kingdom and in Surrey the service has outstanding equipment and training and are the fittest in the country.  Members requested that if any hotspots came up in Surrey to make them aware.

     

    Guildford Local Committee agreed to:

     

    Recognise the achievements of SFRS teams both within Guildford and across the County this year, support their commitment in further identifying and improving initiatives to reduce risk and make the Borough of  Guildford safer especially for those more vulnerable within the community.

     

    Reasons:

     

    SFRS dedicates a great deal of time in supporting the safety of members of Guildford’s Communities.  It is important to appreciate that the requirement for and themes of initiatives will change to meet identified needs within the community, for which continued support throughout the year and into the future is essential to allow maximum effect.

PEDESTRIAN SAFETY ON BRIDGE STREET, GUILDFORD (EXECUTIVE FUNCTION FOR DECISION) pdf icon PDF 119 KB

    This report provides an update on the development of proposals to improve pedestrian safety on Bridge Street, Guildford, and recommendations for committee to consider and decide the way forward.

    Additional documents:

    Decision:

    The Local Committee agreed that

     

    (i)      The proposals to provide raised road tables at the signalised crossing points across Onslow Street at the junction with Bridge Street, described within this report as Option B, proceeds to implementation. This will be funded from central county council budgets separate from the budget allocated to the local committee for highway improvements.

     

    (ii)      A traffic regulation order to implement the raised road tables will be advertised and authority delegated to the Area Highways Manager in consultation with the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Divisional Members for Guildford South West and Guildford South East to consider any objections before proceeding.

     

    Reasons: Analysis has highlighted a pattern of pedestrian casualties at the junction of Bridge Street with Onslow Street in Guildford. The proposals presented here will help to reduce the risk of further pedestrian collisions and will improve the facilities for pedestrians when crossing the road at this important link between the railway station and town centre.

    Minutes:

    The report provided an update on the development of proposals to improve pedestrian safety on Bridge Street, Guildford. This followed a road traffic collision on 20 February 2016 that led to the deaths of two pedestrians. This issue was the subject of a petition to the council on 17 May 2016. It was subsequently considered by the Economic Prosperity, Environment and Highways Board on 9 June 2016 and then again on 2 March 2017 where it was recommended that officers continue to undertake work to refine the design proposals before presenting the final options to the Guildford Local Committee for approval and funding consideration.

     

    Members asked the Cabinet Member for Highways if the proposals for Bridge Street would be centrally funded as originally agreed.

     

    Action: Councillor Kemp to check the central Highways budget to ensure that funding had been allocated for this work and come back to the Committee and Road Safety Team Manager.

     

    Members queried why the raised tables were going to be put in a different position at the pedestrian road crossing rather than the location of the collision.  The Road Safety Team Manager informed members that there is a pattern of incidents that have occurred at the pedestrian crossing.  Members also discussed whether it would be better to go with Option C in the report to improve the traffic signal sequence and signals for pedestrians.  The officer stated that he wasn’t convinced that signalling timing would reduce collisions but it was likely to increase delay times and traffic congestion.  Members also discussed the general issues with pedestrians crossing               that stretch of road such as not using the crossing and crossing in between traffic at different points on the road.

     

    The question was raised whether possible issues of introducing raised tables at the crossing for cyclists and motorcyclists had been considered.  Officers had discussed this with the police and consequently the tables will be made perpendicular with the road.

     

    The Local Committee agreed that:

     

    (i)      The proposals to provide raised road tables at the signalised crossing points across Onslow Street at the junction with Bridge Street, described within this report as Option B, proceeds to implementation. This will be funded from central county council budgets separate from the budget allocated to the local committee for highway improvements.

     

    (ii)      A traffic regulation order to implement the raised road tables will be advertised and authority delegated to the Area Highways Manager in consultation with the Chairman, Vice-Chairman and Divisional Members for Guildford South West and Guildford South East to consider any objections before proceeding.

     

    Reasons: Analysis has highlighted a pattern of pedestrian casualties at the junction of Bridge Street with Onslow Street in Guildford. The proposals will help to reduce the risk of further pedestrian collisions and will improve the facilities for pedestrians when crossing the road at this important link between the railway station and town centre.
