Local residents at the top of The Avenue have received notices from Buxted Construction advising of significant changes to the layout and architecture of the The Avenue where it meets the junction with Staines Road East.
A first phase of the works will involve moving services which are currently in the way. The second phase will involve moving the kerblines out to accommodate a new lane and a pedestrian refuge, creating a right turn lane for The Avenue. A raised junction and "Keep Clear" space will be provided for The Spinney.
Temporary traffic lights will be installed to enable the works to be carried out and parking on The Avenue near the junction should be avoided if possible.
Not surprisingly, the new layout, which will take 6 - 8 weeks to put in place over the Easter period, is causing consternation to residents in the vicinity and to the local dental practice where restricted parking will impact upon his patients, some of whom are disabled.
The subject has been raised with our local County Councillor, Tim Evans who is currently looking into the matter and LOSRA has advised residents to put a question to the Local Spelthorne Committee which meets on Monday 14th March, 6.30pm at the Council Chamber, Knowle Green.
