RESPONSE TO TITE HILL PETITION
The Local Committee received a petition at its meeting on 24 February 2014 signed by 102 local residents concerned about vehicle speeds and road safety in Tite Hill, Englefield Green. This is the Council’s response to this petition.
Decision: The Local Committee received a petition at its meeting on 24 February 2014 signed by 102 local residents concerned about vehicle speeds and road safety in Tite Hill, Englefield Green.
Traffic survey data shows that a significant number of drivers travel in excess of the 30mph speed limit in Tite Hill. However, the road has a relatively good safety record compared to many other roads within Runnymede.
A number of road safety improvements are already proposed for Tite Hill and these were due to be installed shortly – including vehicle activated signs. It was therefore recommended that the impact of these measures on vehicle speeds and road safety be assessed before consideration was given to additional measures.
The Local Committee (Runnymede) agreed that:
(i) the impact of existing developer funded proposals to reduce vehicle speeds and improve road safety in Tite Hill be monitored and assessed. (ii) the possible introduction of further highway safety measures in Tite Hill be considered when the Committee assesses schemes for inclusion in its 2015/16 programme of works.

(ii) the possible introduction of further highway safety measures in Tite Hill be considered when the Committee assesses schemes for inclusion in its 2015/16 programme of works. Mrs Wendy Locker, representing the Tite Hill Speedwatch Group, thanked the Committee and Highways Officer for the detailed response. She reported that residents were pleased with the vehicle activated signs that were being installed but were also disappointed that there were no immediate actions to install speed tables or a crossing. She noted that it was ironic that these could not be implemented as the Police had stated that vehicles were travelling too fast.
Mrs Locker welcomed the monitoring of the new measures in place, but further asked whether signs could be installed in the interim to advise motorists to drive carefully and to warn of pedestrians / students crossing. If funding for signage were an issue, she asked whether residents could help to fund. The Highways Officer agreed to look at signage – but stated that this would need to comply with Highways regulations. |

MAGNA CARTA - HIGHWAY SAFETY MEASURES
On 15 June 2015 it will be the 800th Anniversary of the sealing of the Magna Carta in Runnymede.

This report provides details of the proposed measures.
Decision: On 15 June 2015 it will be the 800th Anniversary of the sealing of the Magna Carta in Runnymede.
Surrey County Council has been working with various partners to develop a range of proposals to help both celebrate the 800th Anniversary itself and create a lasting legacy.
These proposals cover an area that includes sites on both sides of the busy A308 Windsor Road. A package of highway improvements has therefore been developed to help support these celebrations and enhance future visitor safety.
The highway improvements proposed will help reduce the impact of the A308 Windsor Road on the Magna Carta site and enhance safety for visitors by encouraging lower vehicle speeds and providing improved crossing facilities for pedestrians and cyclists. These proposed measures will support plans to create a legacy and attract increased numbers of visitors to the area.
To enable delivery of the proposed measures in time for the 2015 celebrations it is essential that all necessary permissions are obtained in this Committee cycle.
The Local Committee (Runnymede) agreed that:
(i) A speed limit of 40mph be introduced for the section of the A308 Windsor Road currently subject to a 60mph speed limit, conditional upon the formal approval of Surrey Police and a speed limit assessment confirming that this proposed limit is appropriate. (ii) Subject to the conditions in recommendation (i) that a Traffic Regulation Order for the proposed speed limit change be promoted. (iii) The Area Team Manager be authorised to advertise the necessary legal notice for the introduction of a signal controlled crossing adjacent to the Lutyens Buildings on the A308 Windsor Road. (iv)The Area Team Manager be authorised to consider and resolve any objections received in response to both the Traffic Regulation Order and the notice as described above with the Chairman and Divisional Member.

QUEEN MARY'S DRIVE, NEW HAW - REPLACEMENT TRAFFIC CALMING
The full length of Queen Mary’s Drive is due to be resurfaced as part of the Surrey Highways capital works programme. There are 2 round top humps within this length of road and they need to be removed as part of the resurfacing work due to their poor condition. This report seeks the Local Committee’s approval for works to be carried out.
Decision: The full length of Queen Mary’s Drive was due to be resurfaced as part of the Surrey Highways capital works programme. There are 2 round top humps within this length of road that need to be removed as part of the resurfacing work due to their poor condition.
Round top humps are no longer used as a method of traffic calming in Surrey and so cannot be reinstated after the resurfacing work. Members were informed that installation of speed cushions would cost between £7,000 to £10,000. Members queried the need for traffic calming measures in this area as parked cars along the route already slowed traffic. A vote was held and a show of hands recorded 4 rejected the recommendations, 3 voted for the proposal and 3 abstentions.
The Local Committee (Runnymede) rejected the recommendations in the report to replace the speed humps.
