20MPH for Windlesham Village Centre
Published: 27 March 2019
20 MPH in the centre of Windlesham
Over the last few months I have been looking at what further
work can be done to improve the centre of Windlesham we completed speed surveys
and looked at the possibility of putting a pedestrian crossing in. The Parish
have contributed £10,000 of CIL money towards this work. Highways have now
confirmed that a pedestrian crossing would not work. However they have given
the green light to implementing 20 MPH in the centre. The exact extent of the
reduced area has yet to be established.
Last night the Parish agreed to use this money towards the
design of a scheme to make part of the village 20 MPH. We have agreed to form a
task group including members of the neighbourhood plan to discuss with highways
what we can achieve. We will then design options to put to the public in
September. We would delay any changes till after the SSE work is completed.
I hope residents will agree this is a significant step forward
and something residents have asked for. My thanks to our Parish who are
supporting without which this work could not commence, also to the highways
team who will now help to design the scheme.
Best Wishes,
Mike Goodman
