Proposed Farnham Town Centre Improvement Scheme - Proposed Traffic Calming Measures on Various Roads in Farnham

Overview

Thank you for your interest in our traffic calming proposals on A287 Castle Street, A287 The Borough, A287 Downing Street and D5335 Victoria Road, Farnham.

The legislation we must follow before introducing this scheme means that we need to allow objections and comments from the public to be considered before a final decision is reached about whether or not to go ahead with our preferred scheme in its current form.

The proposal:

Farnham town centre is currently dominated by roads and traffic and has poor air quality, which negatively impacts the ability to travel easily, safely, and enjoyably around the town on foot and by bus or cycle, resulting in a less pleasant environment and a diminished sense of place. The Farnham Town Centre Improvement Scheme aims to address this by providing wider and repaved pavements, with the removal of unnecessary street clutter, creating loading bays to facilitate deliveries to businesses without blocking traffic lanes, and providing space for new planting, cycle parking and public seating to encourage people to visit and spend more time in the town centre. The scheme also aims to improve safety for users of the town centre including new and improved pedestrian crossings and advanced stop lines for cyclists.

To provide pedestrian crossings and support the reduction in speeds in the town centre, it is proposed to provide traffic calming features which will include six new raised unsignalised crossings across Castle Street, The Borough, Downing Street and Victoria Road.
