FUTURE SCC MEETINGS
LAC Waverley meeting 13th December 2013
A review of the Phase 1 changes to the on-street parking arrangements in Haslemere that were introduced earlier this year (including residents-only parking and some yellow lining) is currently being carried out by the SCC parking team. The review recommendations will be discussed at the Local Area Committee meeting being held in Godalming at 1.30pm on Friday December 13th, 2013. The Committee can agree with the recommendations or adjust them, following which final recommendations will be published in the Haslemere Herald and in the Library for a period of public consultation.
All feedback will be taken into consideration and the recommendations with or without amendments will be taken to the Local Area Committee meeting in March 2014 for decision.
I have worked with the parking team to assess the impacts of Phase 1 with reference to 3 key criteria: Safety, Access and Efficiency. In my view, any refinement, enhancement or modification of the current Phase 1 arrangements will need to be based on these criteria alone. This means that we can expect a relatively modest number of recommendations to come out of this regular parking review. The full SCC parking review report and maps, are included in the committee papers, including the agenda.
The annual review of on-street parking in Waverley-wide car parking review is item 8 (pages 9-112), Waverley-wide review here.

UPDATE ON LOCAL ISSUES
Wey Hill Re-surfacing
I am delighted that following extensive discussions with SCC highways Wey Hill has now been fully resurfaced. In my November uopdate, I mentioned that there had been interim repairs. It was surprising to discover that Wey Hill was not included in the Project Horizon road repair program. I am grateful to John Hilder and his team at SCC for agreeing that the extremely poor condition of the road warranted a full repair.
Members’ Allocation
All SCC County Councillors receive a members’ allocation, £12,826 to be spent in their local communities. I encourage any groups that would like to apply for some funding for their charity or community projects to contact me at nikki.barton@surreycc.gov.uk. The deadline for applications for the 2013/14 is mid February, so I do urge anyone interested to apply.
Councillor Surgery
I look forward to receiving any input from people in Haslemere and Grayswood, and will host a surgery from 9.30-11.00am on Monday 9th December at Haslewey. See here for more information.
Junction Place
The yellow lines have been finally removed from Junction Place slip lane and this means there is space for more parking for shoppers here now.

I wrote about this last week. Please read here.
