About the project
Proposed Improvements to Station Avenue in Caterham
Surrey County Council, in partnership with Tandridge District Council and the Caterham Business Improvement District (Caterham Valley for You), are exploring potential improvements to roads and public spaces in Caterham.
Station Avenue forms the first impression many visitors have of Caterham Valley, but it does not currently reflect the town’s character. It is dominated by traffic and lacks greenery and seating.
We believe Station Avenue has the potential to become a more welcoming and attractive place. By improving the look and feel of the street, making it easier to get around, and creating space for people to enjoy, we can help support local businesses and make everyday visits more pleasant.
Following the public engagement in early 2026, we are working with partners and representatives to review the feedback in line with the project’s original objectives to see if there’s a workable solution. Any proposed new designs would be brought to public engagement again before proceeding.
Project Objectives
- Create a more inviting and welcoming environment celebrating Caterham’s local character
- Create public spaces to encourage people to meet and enjoy the town centre
- Improve pedestrian safety and accessibility, with improved crossings, wider footways, and wayfinding signs
- Make it easier and safer for people to walk, cycle, and use public transport, supporting healthier travel choices
- Implement sustainable design solutions that enhance biodiversity, improve air quality, and help manage issues with surface water flooding
