Surrey County Council are proposing to amend the speed limits in and around the Parish (You may have seen some notices locally). This will involve the introduction of 20 & 30mph limits in Brook Hill, Brook Lane, Farley Heath Road, Farley Green, Little London, Lockhurst Hatch Lane, Guildford Lane, New Road, Park Road, Row Lane, Shophouse Lane, Water Lane & White Lane.

The deadline for submitting responses to their survey is July 4^th which may not give the council enough time to construct its own formal response (Unfortunately we were not notified that this was going to occur) but you can find more details at https://www.surreysays.co.uk/environment-and-infrastructure/rural-roads-guildford-and-waverley-speed-limits/ including a link to the Online survey.
