At last a solution appears to be in sight for the problems faced by residents of Mill Lane and Hallsland Way.
For those who don't know the area, every morning a large number of cars are parked on Mill Lane at the junction with Hurst Green road. This situation is treacherous for local residents as cars have to enter and exit the road 'blind' to oncoming traffic and for pedestrians it is even more dangerous, with the lack of footpath forcing parents with buggies to walk in the road where they are not seen by approaching vehicles.
Following campaigning by local Conservatives, especially by former Tandridge Council Chairman Barry Compton, Surrey County Council now plan to place parking restrictions between 7.30 and 9.30 am each weekday morning to prevent a build up of cars at this busy junction,and one on Hallsland Way to prevent the problem spreading.
However it is likely to be a number of months before this is implemented and with a full station car park, it is clear that this is a far from ideal state of affairs for commuters, and it is clear that a longer term solution is needed for the ever growing numbers of commuters who use Hurst Green station.
