LOCAL SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT FUND - CYCLE LINK BISLEY TO KNAPHILL

05/12/2013 - LOCAL SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT FUND - CYCLE LINK BISLEY TO KNAPHILL

The county council in partnership with three borough councils were successful in obtaining over £18 million in grant funding from the Local Sustainable Transport Fund (LSTF), focused on Woking, Guildford and Redhill-Reigate.

 

Some of this work is not confined to the borough of Woking where a cycle route is planned to link Bisley to the existing Cycle Woking route at Knaphill.

 

The extended route though Bisley could use either existing off road shared routes and quiet streets, estimated at £8,500 or an off road route adjacent to the A322 between Clews Lane and School Close, estimated at £140,000. However, currently there is not sufficient funding available to carry out the A322 option.

 

The Local Committee (Surrey Heath) agreed :

 

(i)    To adopt Option 2 as the official off road cycle route between Clews Lane and Church Road.

(ii)   To Option 3, do nothing now, but retain the £8,500 developer contribution and put this towards creating the option 2 route at a later date..
