The Square, Shere

Thank you to everybody who has emailed in support for the area to remain pedestrianised, apologies if I have not been able to reply to you personally.

Surrey County Council (SCC) will be removing the social distancing barriers at the end of the month (September), which will reopen the road to traffic. Unfortunately, the Parish Council has no legal power regarding the roads and this matter is governed by Surrey Country Council. Following the reopening of the road, Hilly’s will be able to continue to use the pavement (subject to their own land/license from Guildford Borough Council) but not the road.

Part of the job of your Parish Council is to lobby on behalf of residents and it has been noted that the pedestrianised space has been important to many residents. The Council will therefore debate if a request should be made to SCC, to consider the process of ‘Stopping Up’, which is to permanently close the part of the road, currently closed by the barriers.

Please be patient, even if supported by the Parish Council, this is not an easy or quick process and if SCC agrees to begin the procedure, there will be a full public consultation and a potential cost involved.

Thank you

Surrey County Council have installed some temporary barriers in Middle Street and in part of The Square, in Shere to help with social distancing.
This will mean that cars will not be able to park in those areas while social distancing is still necessary.
The parish council apologises for any inconvenience this may cause and hope that residents and businesses will support the actions being taken, for your safety.  Thank you
