The Local Committee (Woking):
i) Agreed traffic control option 3 (to replace the current traffic signals with permanent traffic signals) and agreed to inform the Cabinet Member for Transport and Environment.
ii) Approved option 3 and:
a) approved the installation of permanent signals as shown on the plan in Annex 3.
b) confirmed that the remaining £30,000 will be funded via a Local Committee budget.
iii) Agreed to give authority to advertise notice of a 13T weight restriction on the bridge, and subject to no objections being maintained, the Order be made.
Where significant objections are received, the Area Team Manager to decide in consultation with the divisional member and the Local Committee Chairman/Vice Chairman whether the Traffic Regulation Order may be confirmed.
Reason:
To provide a robust permanent solution for the site which reduces the risk of vehicle incursion onto the railway, improves drainage and the quality of the highway surfacing in the vicinity of the bridge. The weight limit is required as the strength assessment calculations for the bridge indicate that it is not adequate for full highway loading.
