Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, Section 14(1)&(2)
Public Footpath 381 (Lingfield) and Public Footpath 381 (Dormansland)
Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2023
On 19 December 2023 Surrey County Council made the above mentioned temporary order, the effect of which is to prohibit all traffic on foot or by any other means from entering or proceeding in that length of:
1. Public Footpath 381 (Lingfield) which extends from a point 87 metres east of its junction with Station Road (Grid Reference:(539462 143676) where it crosses the railway in a easterly direction to its junction with Public Footpath 381 (Dormansland); and
2. Public Footpath 381 (Dormansland) which extends from its junction with Public Footpath 381 (Lingfield) where it crosses the railway in an easterly direction for a distance of 11 metres.
The Order is necessary due to the likelihood of danger to the public. It will be in operation for a period of 6 months from 20 December 2023 until 20 June 2024. That period can be extended by the Secretary of State for Transport if required.
The temporary closure will only be in operation when appropriate road traffic signs are displayed on site by the County Council or an authorised person acting on its behalf. Access to properties will not be affected.
The alternative route for traffic from the western end of the closure will be:
Proceed in a northerly direction along the permissive path which runs roughly parallel with the railway line. At Lingfield train station turn right through the gate adjacent to the booking office and proceed in an easterly direction onto the station platform. Continue in an easterly direction over the footbridge which crosses the railway line. Once over the bridge proceed in a southerly direction along the eastern platform to the eastern point of closure.
The alternative route for traffic from the eastern end of the closure will be the reverse of the route described above.
'The Surrey County Council Public Footpath 381 (Lingfield) & Public Footpath 381 (Dormansland) Temporary Prohibition of Traffic Order 2023' was made by the County Council under section 14(1) & (2) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.
