Public Footpath 64 (Elstead)
Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2025
On 22 May 2025 Surrey County Council will make the above-mentioned temporary order, the effect of which is to prohibit all traffic on foot or by any other means from entering or proceeding along that length of Public Footpath 64 (Elstead) which extends for 340 metres from its junction with Public Footpath 65 (Elstead) (Grid ref: 490513 144341) at point A, to its junction with a permissive path at point B (Grid ref: 490585 144017) and which is marked by a solid bold line on plan no. 3/1/8/H21.
The Order is necessary on the grounds of public safety due to the adjacent riverbank having become undermined and unstable/having collapsed, and a collapsed bridge.
The closure will be in operation for a period of six months from 23 May 2025 or until completion of the works, if earlier. That period can be extended by the Secretary of State for Transport if required.
The temporary closure will only be in operation when appropriate road traffic signs are displayed on site by the County Council or an authorised person acting on its behalf. Access to properties will not be affected.
The alternative route for traffic from the northern end of closure will be: from point A, proceed in a generally southerly direction along Public Footpath 65 (Elstead), then in a generally easterly direction along a permissive footpath to point B. Total length of the proposed diversion: 450 metres.
The alternative route for traffic from the southern end of the closure will be the reverse of the route described above.
“The Surrey County Council Public Footpath 64 (Elstead) Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2025” will be made by the County Council under Section 14(1) & (2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
