ASHTEAD CONSERVATIVES HAVE RECENTLY SURVEYED THE COMMON RESIDENTS WHO LIVE THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CROSSING. OUT OF 600 SURVEYS DELIVERED WE HAVE RECEIVED WELL OVER TWO HUNDRED BACK. A SIGNIFICANT NUMBER SUPPORTED DOUBLE YELLOW LINES (180+) A LITTLE OVER 20 DID NOT. ABOUT MENTIONED ROAD WIDENING AS A BETTER ALTERNATIVE.

IT IS OUR INTENTION TO REQUEST THAT THE LOCAL COMMITTEE LOOK INTO A SCHEME INVOLVING DOUBLE YELLOW LINES ON THE AVENUE OF TREES. NO RIGHT TURN ONTO THE CROSSING FROM THE SLIP ROAD. NO RIGHT TURN INTO THE STATION CAR PARK AFTER COMING OVER THE CROSSING. WE PROPOSE THAT THIS IS DONE TO COINCIDE WITH THE OPENING OF THE NEW ENLARGED STATION CAR PARK.

WE WOULD ALSO PROPOSE AFTER THE SCHEME HAS BEEN INITIATED THAT NETWORK RAIL AND BRITISH TRANSPORT POLICE ARE THEN CONTACTED WITH A VIEW TO SHORTENING THE DURATION OF THE GATE CLOSURES FOR EACH TRAIN.

THE LOCAL COMMITTEE NEXT SITS IN JUNE.

NEWS UPDATE

It has now been confirmed that the proposal will be on the agenda of the Local Committee on 7th June 2012.
