One of our followers – who regularly travels to London sent us the article below. She is presently cleaning her push-bike in readiness for the new Bamford Bike-ride from the eastern villages to Wimbledon every day!
She says: Something to make you laugh, or cry?
So we can all ride, walk or cycle to work now, can we??? – The snide comment that opening it could result in more housing – Crikes – we have taken MORE than our fair share of Housing for the Borough….About time the rest took theirs
Honestly SPEND SOME MONEY SURREY!
Another said: “The road condition along the A281 between Cranleigh and Guildford is now so bad, some believe the existing surface of the Downs Link will soon be an improvement for motorists.”
The A281 – is a joke…. no sooner do they PATCH the holes up… then they collapse again. Anyone travelling at night (or lets be honest 4pm) cannot see the damn holes and I am just amazed my suspension is still intact. It is a damning indictment on SCC.
I do understand that Councils have had their Budgets cut – But we are talking about Life threatening roads for cyclists as well as car users. As for pedestrians – Forget it! Very few pavements here in the East of the Borough!!!
Still waiting SCC for our Pavement on Dunsfold Road …………………………………………….. Maybe a FOI is required to see how much Interest they have made on the £150,000.00 given by Dunsfold Park back in 2015 to provide it???
Whilst I am ranting…. When are they going to do anything about the MESS that is Alfold Crossways ? it looks shocking – Pavement on it is unusable due to the debris left by recent accidents. We walk the hound around it daily and I promise you we see at least 1 car entering the Crossways via the NO ENTRY lane every day!!
We understand that when the Crossways Junction was first installed, it was called Kamakazi corner by guess who – Surrey County Council highway engineers!!
