Page updated 6 Oct 2005 Background For the last 12 months a working party has been preparing a new scheme for 'a face-lift to the High St.' and procuring the necessary budget. Today (6th Oct.) the plan were on show at the Arts Centre. Update It seems the £300,000 are to be spent mainly on the central island and new pavements for the shops on the access road (up to Manns). On the other side of the High St. the pavement will just be re-tarmaced (subject to each shop agreeing). An extract of the plans are show below. |

The bus-stop will be moved, to opposite Knowles Lane! and the existing (stone) bus-stop would be demolished and replaced by a smaller glass one. The island would be enlarged slightly and re-paved (to match Stocklund Sq.). The raised circular paving (see picture) would also go across the (narrower) service rd. and 3 parking spaces removed. Knowle Lane entrance would have a raised 'traffic calming' portion at the entrance. The existing flower beds would be replaced by much smaller ones, and seating provided. |

Also: The paving outside Manns would be widened. A new crossing placed outside the paper-shop.. Nothing changed to the post office area. A questionnaire form is to be provided on Waverley Council's website, but ius not available. Watch here for news. |
