Onslow Street and Park Street are well overdue to be resurfaced but finding the best time to do the works is never going to be easy as it is such a heavily used route around our town centre; scheduling them during the school holidays and overnight is the best option.

In addition to the couple of signs I have seen, I have asked Surrey Highways to increase the number of signs as a matter of urgency to raise awareness of these night works.

All councillors are notified as a matter of course, along with bus companies and emergency services. Personally, I have shared this information – and images of the diversion routes – on local Facebook community pages and ‘Nextdoor’ and would hope that other councillors would be doing the same in their areas to raise awareness.

I encourage drivers to allow extra time for their journeys whilst these works take place. I am really looking forward to seeing a better road surface!
