The decision not to proceed with the Active Travel Scheme for improved cycle and pedestrian convenience on London Road, Burpham, has been referred back to Surrey County Council Cabinet by the Communities, Environment and Highways Select Committee.

It was called in for further consideration by the vice chair of the select committee, Cllr Lance Spencer, who was unable to attend today’s meeting and was represented by a fellow Lib Dem, Cllr Paul Follows.

Following a 90-minute debate the committee voted 7 to 4, with one abstention (the chairman Cllr Keith Witham, Con, Worplesdon), in favour of referring the decision back to the Cabinet for reconsideration.

SCC’s Cabinet now has seven days to reconvene and to confirm or change its original decision.

A full report will be published tomorrow. Please check back.
