New 7km cycling and walking route for Surrey

Surrey County Council has approved plans for a 7km cycle and walking corridor as part of a £6.95 million investment package.

The new active travel route, between Guildford and Godalming, will provide a continuous, more sustainable travel option and is one of five significant projects identified in the Surrey Infrastructure Plan.

Tim Oliver, Leader of Surrey County Council said: “I am pleased to be taking forward a scheme that will deliver a step change in the local transport system to prioritise pedestrians and cyclists, in line with our active travel policies and ambitions for Surrey. We have listened extensively to all views from the local community, including much support for various elements of the scheme but also legitimate concerns.”
