The Surrey County Council
Public Footpath 153 (Capel) and Public Footpath 153 (Ockley)
Temporary Prohibition Of Traffic Order 2024
The Surrey County Council Public Footpath No. 153 (Capel) and Public Footpath No. 153 (Ockley) Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2024 was made on the grounds of public safety due to a level crossing in need of repair. The Order came into operation on 15 March 2024. It was due to expire on 15 September 2024 but has now been continued in force by the Secretary of State for Transport until 15 March 2025 or until the completion of the works, whichever is earlier.
The Order as continued prohibits all traffic on foot or by any other means from entering or proceeding in that length of Public Footpath 153 (Capel) and Public Footpath 153 (Ockley) which extends for about 780 metres from point A (Grid ref: 517064 142871), at its junction with Public Footpath 238 (Capel), to point B (Grid ref: 516391 143120), at its junction with Public Footpath 590 (Capel) and which is marked by a solid bold line on plan no. 3/1/41/H59.
The prohibition described above will only be operative while the County Council, or an authorised person acting on its behalf, displays signs prescribed by the Traffic Signs Regulations and General Directions 2002 (S.I. 2002 No. 3113) prohibiting the said movements. Access to properties will not be affected.
Suggested alternative route: from point A, proceed north and then slightly north-west along Public Footpath 238 (Capel) for about 990 metres, then west along Public Bridleway 234 (Capel) for about 140 metres, and then south-west for about 870 metres along Public Footpath 590 to its junction with Public Footpath 153 (Capel) at point B. Total length of alternative route, marked by a broken black line on plan no. 3/1/41/H59, is about 2000 metres.
The alternative route for traffic from point B will be the reverse of the route described above.
