Notice of Petition
Received from Anna Smith, 139 signatures
Excetera buses are the contractors for the school buses to St Andrews school in Ashtead - the service and communication has been mostly appalling from the start of the school year. We have seen the fares double in price and yet still the bus drivers are not trained to an acceptable and safe standard with drivers not knowing the routes and missing out sections of bus stops until the children point this out to them. The service is often late because of the above and therefore unreliable resulting in the children being left at bus stops for long periods of time with no idea when a bus may arrive and missing the start of school on a very regular basis. The communication with the company is poor - emails are never responded to and calls to the office often go unanswered when trying to complain. We believe this service is unacceptable for our children and too expensive to continue to pay for unless some drastic improvements are made
A response will be tabled at the meeting
Notice of Petition
Received from Diane Doney, 139 signatures We the undersigned call upon Surrey County Council to agree to undertake traffic monitoring around all new development sites: 1 month after release of each phase for large, phased developments, or completion for smaller sites and again 3 months after full occupation, to validate the data provided by the developer at the time of the application and to assess whether the input data was accurate or flawed, or whether the modelling software used by developers requires to be adapted. This information should include a manual count travel direction survey for larger sites of 50+ new homes, and large retail, school, offices or similar buildings. The results are to be compiled into a report, to include accident statistics in the vicinity of the new development, and the incremental traffic increases since the last traffic surveys in the vicinity. The report is to be published on Surrey County Council's website within two calendar months of each survey and provided to all SCC Highways Officers responsible for assessing the suitability of planning applications, and all Borough Councils' planning departments, for informing their decisions regarding new planning applications.

Introduction of a Speed Limit Reduction on the A322
The Surrey Heath Local Committee have approved the introduction of a speed limit reduction from 40mph to 30mph on the A322 between Red Road and the Surrey Heath Borough boundary with Woking. The Cabinet Member is asked to review this decision as it is contrary to existing County Council policy, and the recommendations of Surrey Highways and Surrey Police. Additional documents: Decision: Following consideration of the information presented in the report and accompanying the documents that the Cabinet Member for Highways, Transport and Flooding did not support the decision of Surrey Heath Local Committee and therefore did not approve changing the speed limit on the A322 from 40mph to 30mph, between Red Road (B311) and the Surrey Heath Borough.
