Road/traffic issues

The Metrobus 400, 409 and 410 services are on diversion as they cannot use Godstone High Street. Passengers are advised to catch their bus from the Godstone Green bus stop (near the Needle's Bank public toilets) instead. In addition, the 410 service will also be unable to serve the Crowhurst Mead or Church Lane bus stops on the A25 Oxted Road.
The A25 in Godstone is closed in both directions. Drivers should follow the diversion route via A25 Oxted Road, A22 Godstone Bypass, and Eastbourne Road. Parking restrictions will be in place on Eastbourne Road to reduce impact when schools reopen after half term week commencing 24 February until further notice. Affected parking areas will be signposted.
Surrey has contacted schools and school transport to ensure they are aware of the restricted access to the village and have plans in place.

Final Opportunity to Have Your Councils Say on Surrey's Rights of Way

With over 4000 responses to SCC initial Rights of Way Improvement Plan survey, Surrey County Council have now drafted a new Rights of Way Improvement Plan and want to give everyone a final opportunity to have their say on Surrey’s rights of way and shape the new plan which will run until 2035.

Every council that is responsible for public rights of way must have a Rights of Way Improvement Plan (ROWIP). This sets out how public rights of way meet the needs of the public, now and in the future.

SCC would like to hear your Councils views on the main report of the Rights of Way Improvement Plan Draft (ROWIP) 2025 - 2035. The survey should take approximately 15 minutes to complete. Please allow extra time to read the draft ROWIP. Your feedback will be used to shape the final ROWIP.

The survey is open until 9 February 2025 and can be accessed on the Surrey Says website
