This involves upgrading 4 level crossings on the North Down Line, which includes Chilworth, Tangley, Brook and Burrows Lane level crossing. All four level crossings will have new signalling installed which will be controlled by the Guildford Area Signalling Centre. Network Rail has already undertaken letter drops to the residents of the affected area (attached herewith for reference).
Current Works
UK Power Networks (UKPN) are currently delivering works that involve providing electrical connections to Brook level crossing to power the new laser scanning equipment and to provide a general upgrade to the power supply on the North Downs lines.

Streetworks Officers will be liaising with the crew on site to impress the importance of them being lenient towards drivers, depending on traffic levels, especially with locals. Additionally our Streetworks officers will carry out a site visit during this week to check that the Advance Warning Signs have been placed and liaise with the William IV pub regarding the arrangements for their customers throughout the duration of the closure.

Power On Connections - Church Hill Pyrford
These works are being undertaken to install a new electrical power cable from Pyrford through to Ripley.
This project primarily involves Upshot Lane, Church Hill and Newark Lane and the new supply will provide resilience for current demands and add capacity to service supply requirements into the future.
What is the scale of impact?
We at Surrey County Council are aware of the significance of these roads providing a connection from Pyrford and Woking to Ripley and beyond and we are working closely with the company carrying out the works, Power On Connections, to ensure travel disruption is kept to a minimum.
The section of work on Upshot Lane is now complete and the next phase on Church Hill has been agreed. These works will now start on 14 November and will continue until the 21 of December meaning the road will be clear on the approach to the festive season. Church Hill, from the junction with Upshot Lane to the junction with Warren Lane will be closed from the 14th November.
Closure of Church Hill road
Regrettably, the works can only be carried out with a closure of Church Hill. The closure will be done in sections and access to residents and the church will be maintained at all times although it may be that some delay could be experienced if barriers, machinery etc., requires moving and access cannot be guaranteed from a specific end of the closed section.
Other than a two-day period at a stage yet to be confirmed when the works cross the junction, Warren Lane will remain open. It is advised that signage will be positioned at suitable locations particularly on Pyrford Road advising of the unsuitability of Warren Lane for a diversion route. Signage will also be placed on Newark Lane at the junction with the High Street in Ripley giving motorists advanced warning of the closure of Church Hill.
We have requested that Power On Connections work extended hours including some weekend work to complete this section of the project in a timely manner and arrangements are currently being made to host a Drop In session at St Nicholas church hall which will be open to all and any further questions can be answered.
