School Traffic Calming Update and Zebra Crossings

Surrey County Council proposed to establish a Zebra Crossing on Ditton Hill Road.

Following discussion and consultation on their initial proposals, SCC produced a new amended plan, which will include two pedestrian crossings outside the schools.  Full details can be obtained by emailing mark.herbert@longditton.org.  Residents have the opportunity to comment and the Ditton Hill Road scheme and is due for implementation in late autumn.

Please see a copy of the Public Notice below, together with a plan indicating the location.

The proposed crossing in Sugden Road, also formed part of the public consultation in 2016, and a crossing is still planned to be installed, but due to feedback SCC is reassessing the best site for its installation –  in the vicinity of St Mary’s School entrance or between Rectory Lane and Ewell Road.  Further investigations are currently being undertaken to determine the optimum location for the crossing.  SCC will then proceed with implementing the most appropriate option.
