Notice of Motion - Cllr L Lyons - Woking Station Pedestrian Underpass EXE21-030

Minutes:
Councillor Lyons’ motion in respect of the pedestrian underpass underneath Woking Station, as set out below, had been recommended for approval following consideration by the Executive. The proposals were outlined by the Portfolio Holder, Councillor Davis, before Members of the Council were invited to speak on the item. It was noted that Officers would work with relevant partners with a view to drawing up proposals which would be considered at a future meeting of the Executive.
“The pedestrian underpass underneath Woking Station has become dilapidated and is in a poor state of repair and decor. It has also become an eyesore in the town centre. At times, it can be unpleasant for pedestrians transiting between south Woking and the town centre.
(i) This Council will take advantage of the significantly lower numbers of pedestrians using the underpass underneath Woking Station as a result of the current coronavirus restrictions, and arrange for its refurbishment at the earliest opportunity.
(ii) This Council will seek to make such arrangements with other stakeholders as are necessary to achieve the refurbishments.”
Councillor Lyons welcomed the recommendation and sought reassurance that any closure of the underpass to facilitate the work would not coincide with the planned closure of Victoria Arch.
RESOLVED
That the Motion be supported.
