UPDATE 25/4/25 
We have heard back from the planning team at Affinity.
“We would like to apologise for taking this long to get an answer for you. We have recently found out that the road will be closed by the Butchers on Ockham Road South, to carry out remedial work for the mains renewal that happened between October 2023 and February of this year. This has been scheduled under an emergency permit and will only be closed for 2 days. The diversion route that will be put in place will be the same one as when the initial works were going ahead. We apologise for any confusion this has caused.”

A246 Road Death

Travel News

For some years East Horsley Parish Council’s Road Safety Task Group has been pressing Surrey Highways (SH) to take steps to curb excessive speeding and dangerous overtaking on the downhill stretch of road from Outdowns to Green Dene. Drawing on local knowledge and data collected by the village Speedwatch team, it was pointed out that, if nothing was done, a serious accident was likely at some stage.

The Task Group’s urgings went unheeded and tragically the collision that was dreaded duly occurred on Sunday morning when a motor cyclist lost his life.

EHPC fervently hopes that measures will now be taken by SH to reduce the risk of such devastating circumstances happening again.
