Issue - meetings

To receive a progress update on off-site highways works.

James Bevis, i-Transport, was invited to provide an explanation of off-site highway works.

Works that covered the new zebra crossing and village gateways in Laleham had been signed-off and agreed, however there was an issue surrounding parking near the church that they were trying to resolve with Surrey County Council and other relevant parties.

Several residents expressed frustration over the plans and were assured that meetings were taking place to come to a solution. James explained that once a solution was found, works could progress quickly and should be completed within a four week period, but he could not advise of a date for completion of works.

James explained that the outline design of the crossing location in Charlton village had been submitted, and this would progress once the Laleham gateways were resolved, but it likely would not be before 2023. The existing gates to Charlton Village had been refreshed.

Technical approvals had been received for the new roundabout at the eastern end of Studios Road, and technical approval was expected soon for signalisation of the roundabout on Spelthorne Lane. Technical approval would then be sought for other junctions at Laleham, Studios Road, and Charlton Road. Timescales could not be provided at this point, but works would be phased to minimise disruption to the road network.

Works on Laleham Road were due to be completed in early June. Works would then continue on Ferry Lane and Thames Side. All off-site Power connection works were anticipated to be finished by October 2022.

Technical approval was awaited from Surrey County Council for the new pedestrian crossing in Laleham.

Works on the Laleham Village Gateway were expected to commence in the next four to six weeks following finalisation of technical approvals.

The scheme for the revised Charlton crossing location had been submitted to Surrey County Council, but comments had not yet been received. A completion timescale could not be provided at this time.

The existing Charlton Village ages would be refreshed in April.
