News on Burpham to Guildford Active Travel Scheme

Way forward agreed for walking and cycling route in Burpham

Proposals to improve walking and cycling on the A3100 between Burpham and Guildford, have today been given the go-ahead.

Improvements will take place to and around the Boxgrove Roundabout – a key junction linking the A3, Guildford Town Centre, the Spectrum Leisure Centre and local schools. The junction will be redesigned to modern standards, prioritising pedestrians and cyclists, to help make travelling in the area safer.

Having carefully considered feedback from a three-month public engagement exercise, the council will not be taking forward the proposed further active travel interventions on London Road between Boxgrove Roundabout and York Road. Instead, other improvements including safer crossing points, will be installed at the junction of Nightingale Road and London Road and between Winterhill Way and London Road in Burpham.

More information is available in the press release.
