Councillor Peter Ankers

I have been working with our County Councilor, Mrs Valerie Tinney, and our MP, Humfrey Malins, to improve the road service on Old Woking Road. The B382 was once a quiet, minor road between West Byfleet and Old Woking .

It is , however, now a major thoroughfare with levels of traffic that would never have been envisaged in the past. As a result residents who live near the road find the noise very disturbing.

A 'quiet' road surface was laid down in 1999 but shortly afterwards a cable TV company dug a trench. This, together with the fact that the road surface did not survive the traffic levels resulted in the County Council laying a more sturdy surface, but on ethat generated more noise.

Quiet simply the residents want a surface that will deaden the noise.

This has been promised - but until it actually arrives I'm not sure I'll believe it.
