More Traffic Disruption in Cobham
We and the other community groups heard last Friday (12th Aug 2011) that the Utility Companies plan massive road disruption as they move to "trench" services to the new Motorway Service Area at Downside.
With the support of our local MP Mr Dominic Raab we are making the strongest representations at the lack of consultation and demanding this be rectified immediately and effectively.
To demonstrate the seriousness of the plans, the following is the schedule of the planned works (subject to change):
