Noted that the layout of the bays in Church Street would be changed slightly as they are currently the wrong size, but they will remain in their current position.

Noted the following amendments to the Statement of Reasons:  Drawings 63 & 64 “Beaconsfield Place” should read “Beaconsfield Road”; Drawing 32 – “Castle Parade” to be replaced by “Ewell By-pass”; Drawing 49 - text should include reference to East Street; Drawing 31 – text should make reference to bus stop clearways; Drawing 55 – second sentence of text should be deleted; Drawing 67 should be added under St Margarets Drive.

In relation to map13 the proposals in Chadacre Road and local concern that this could impact on Waverley Road were discussed.  Recent suggestions had been put forward too late for inclusion and it was proposed that the parking officer should be asked to carry out a site visit and bring proposals to the Chairman and Local member for consideration.  On a vote it was agreed 4 votes FOR to 1 AGAINST that the proposals in the report should be advertised for residents comments but that exceptionally all residents in both roads should be informed of the proposals by letter to ensure that they are able to respond to the consultation on the proposals if they wish.

In relation to Drawing 49 it was proposed that this scheme should be deleted in order to protect the business of the small shop keepers.  On a vote it was agreed that the scheme should be advertised as proposed (7 FOR, 1 AGAINST, 1 ABSTENTION]
