In response to: County Council Climbs Down Over London Road Works – Further ‘Engagement’ Period Announced

This is a great bit of news for residents of Burpham and neighbouring areas.

While still appalled at the arrogance shown by SCC, I am delighted to learn that sense has prevailed, at least for a period.

Let’s hope that the consultation and communication will be much more honest, open and in 2023 than it has been so far.

I am sure that there will be many, many willing participants in trying to find a scheme which improves road safety without damaging local businesses and making life a misery for thousands of people.

I have been very pleased with the support given to this by so many people. This includes, in no particular order, many hundreds of local residents, our local councillors on both Guildford Borough and Surrey County Councils, Angela Richardson MP and, of course, The Guildford Dragon NEWS.”
