Following our previous updates on the proposed 20mph speed limit around Shawfield Primary School, Surrey County Council has now confirmed that the scheme will proceed.
Decision Confirmed
Following the statutory Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) consultation, Surrey County Council has decided to proceed with the 20mph speed limit scheme as advertised.
The scheme covers roads surrounding Shawfield Primary School, including Star Lane, and is intended to:
- Improve road safety
- Reduce vehicle speeds
- Support safer walking and cycling, particularly for journeys to and from school
Consultation Outcome
All comments and objections received during the statutory consultation have been carefully considered by Surrey County Council.
After reviewing the representations submitted, the Council has decided to set aside the objections and proceed with the scheme. Those who formally objected have been contacted directly and provided with a summary of the objections received, officer responses, and the reasons for the decision.
The Council has thanked residents and stakeholders who took the time to participate in the consultation process.
What Happens Next?
With the decision now confirmed, the scheme will move forward to implementation.
Surrey County Council has advised that the new 20mph speed limit is expected to be introduced in the coming weeks. This will include the installation of the necessary signs and any associated road markings before the new limit comes into force.
Why This Matters
Shawfield Primary School is located within a busy residential area, and the new speed limit is intended to create a safer environment for pupils, families, pedestrians and cyclists.
The decision marks the completion of the consultation process and the beginning of the implementation phase, meaning the new 20mph limit will soon become a reality on roads around the school.
