Next Stage: Statutory Consultation (TRO) Now Open

Thank you to everyone who took the time to share their views on the proposed 20mph scheme in Lonesome Lane and surrounding roads, Reigate.  We greatly appreciate your involvement and the feedback provided.

Following a detailed review of all comments received during the public engagement period, officers have carefully considered both the strong support expressed and the concerns raised.

What We Heard

The engagement findings showed mixed views on the proposed scheme.  

• Many respondents supported the proposal, highlighting the potential benefits for improving safety for children travelling to and from Dovers Green School, reducing vehicle speeds and creating a calmer residential environment.
• Concerns primarily related to school-related parking and traffic, perceived effectiveness, and existing low vehicle speeds.
• Overall, no new issues were identified that had not already been taken into account during the development of the scheme, and the roads remain suitable for inclusion within the proposed sign-only 20mph scheme.

Next Steps: TRO Statutory Consultation

A draft Traffic Regulation Order (TRO) has now been formally advertised.  This is the start of the formal statutory consultation— the legal process required before any change to a speed limit can be introduced.

During this period, anyone may submit objections or statements of support. All representations received will be considered before a final decision is made.

The consultation is open until 25 September 2026.
