Today, I met with Surrey County Council officers outside Moorhouse School on Mill Lane in Hurst Green for a site meeting to discuss a new pavement and parking restrictions.
At the moment commuter parking and a lack of pavement makes it very dangerous for pedestrians to walk from Hurst Green road onto Mill Lane and towards Mill Shaw. After a number of years of campaigning on behalf of local residents by Oxted South Conservatives the County Council are shortly to build a new footpath to connect the School to the pavement that starts by Mill Shaw and new 'curfew' parking restrictions will help curb commuter parking, without impacting too much on local residents to make walking (and driving) at the junction a lot safer. The pavement should be installed at half term and the yellow line could come even sooner than that.
