BUS LANE OPERATION IN GUILDFORD
In February 2020 Cabinet approved a bus lane enforcement policy and delegated decisions regarding the operation and enforcement of bus lanes to the Cabinet Member for Highways and Director for Infrastructure & Operations.
This report seeks approval to amend the operational hours of bus lanes in Guildford and the types of vehicles that can use them to make bus journeys more reliable. Decision: It was agreed that:
1. Bus lanes in Guildford should operate 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with corresponding restrictions on waiting and parking in them (unless site specific circumstances prevent this) to enhance the Quality Bus Corridor Project. 2. By default, the bus Lanes are prioritised for use by local buses, pedal cycles and hackney carriages. Other vehicles such as motorcycles and HGV’s should be excluded unless circumstances provide justification. 3. A statutory consultation is carried out to implement these changes, initially in Guildford (in conjunction with other proposals to improve bus routes, Guildford Quality Bus Corridor schemes) with the Cabinet member for Transport reviewing the outcome of the consultation before confirming any changes.

The owners of Barons of Hindhead and Coopers Court, Hindhead have requested the County Council to apply to the Magistrates Court for an order to be made removing (stopping up) the highway rights over a piece of land. Their reason for wishing this to be done is to resolve an historic encroachment and to regularise the title of their properties.
The Cabinet Member is asked to decide whether an application for a stopping up order should be made to the Magistrates’ Court. Additional documents: Decision: It was agreed that an application be made to the Magistrates’ Court for an order stopping up the land identified on the plan at Annex 1 of the report as highway, in accordance with the provisions of Section 116 and 117 of the Highways Act 1980 and subject to the conditions of the County Council’s approved policy on stopping up applications. |
