Have your say on new cycle route proposed for Godalming
It aims to improve connections in the town
Last updated 3rd Nov 2021
Godalming residents are being asked to say what they think about plans for a new cycle route.
Waverley Borough Council commissioned a feasibility report exploring routes which will improve the connection from the east side of the town with the train station and from the north west side of Godalming to the town centre.
Two routes are now being looked into - largely following the route along The Burys.
It is part of a wider Godalming ‘Greenway Gateway’ project by Surrey County Council
Details of the options can be found here: Have Your Say Today – Guildford To Godalming Greenway.
The consultation will run until 21 November 2021.
People can also attend a drop-in session today to find out more about the proposal, at Waverley Borough Council Office (Reception area), from 3pm to 7:30pm.
Councillor Steve Williams, Waverley Borough Council Portfolio Holder for Environment and Sustainability, said: As a council whose aim is to become a net-zero carbon borough by 2030, the promotion of more active travel options such as cycling and walking is high on our agenda.
"To do this, we need to make sure there are easily accessible and safe routes available for all, so that more people can cycle or walk and help reduce emissions in the area too.
“I would urge residents, especially those who walk or cycle on a regular basis, or those who are interested in the scheme, to get involved and have their say as this will help shape the final decision.”
