Have your say on road safety improvements outside Chilworth Infant & Tillingbourne Junior Schools

Surrey County Council is proposing a package of measures to improve road safety and accessibility along New Road, Chilworth, for pupils at Chilworth Infant School and Tillingbourne Junior School, their families and the wider community. Residents are invited to view the details online and give their views.

What is proposed

• A 20mph zone with traffic calming measures
• A signalised crossing point outside Tillingbourne Junior School
• An informal raised crossing point outside Chilworth Infant School, and removal of the existing layby

Have your say online

The online engagement opens on Friday 9 October 2026 and runs for five weeks until Friday 13 November 2026. (The page usually goes live early in the morning, but it may take until the end of the day.)

What happens to your comments

This public engagement is designed to gather insight and feedback from residents and highway users. All comments received during this initial stage are reviewed, considered and shared with county councillors, helping shape the design and influencing the decision on whether the scheme should proceed.

Comments are not replied to at this stage. If the scheme progresses, a formal (statutory) consultation will follow, when you will be invited to object or make other representations. These will inform the final decision, and anybody who objects will receive a response.

Drop-in events at the Village Hall

Come along and ask the Surrey Highways team any questions before completing the survey:

• Wednesday 28 October 2026, Chilworth Village Hall
• Session 1: 12pm to 2pm
• Session 2: 3.30pm to 6pm

Please note that comments can be left via the Commonplace webpage or by post, but Surrey County Council cannot accept comments on this proposal by email or phone.
