A25 Reigate Road : Road Safety Improvements

The Surrey County Council (SCC) Road Safety team, part of SCC Highways, is working on delivery of a programme of “safety improvements” along the stretch of the A25 Reigate Road between the High Street in Reigate and the Cockerel roundabout in Dorking.

Surrey Highways secured funding from the UK Government Department for Transport towards the cost of the programme. A limited amount of information about the 16 schemes which make up this programme of safety improvements, is published on the SCC website.  You are encouraged to take a few moments to read the descriptions under each of the scheme headings.

SCC Highways advises that while consultations will be held for schemes 1 and 2 and scheme 3 be designed during the 26/27 financial year, Scheme 5 is on hold until the 27/8 financial year. Delivery of Scheme 15 will remain dependant upon sufficient funding being available upon completion of schemes 1-14 and 16.

Schemes 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 16 are reported as delivered.

If you have any thoughts on schemes one, two and five, which relate to safety improvements in Dorking (1 and 2) and at the Brockham Lane Junction (5), make a note in readiness for the promised consultations, the timing of which have yet to be announced.  

Contractors appointed by the Surrey County Council Highways Road Safety Team were unable to complete the road marking improvements during the two week licence period in March 2026. The Road Safety team has advised they intend to secure a new licence to enable the contractors to return to complete the work along the section of A25 Reigate Road where Thames Water were undertaking emergency work and on the section in the centre of the village between the crossover to the west of Old Road and Rectory Lane.

Submitting reports to Surrey Highways

SCC Highways Engineers have informed your parish council that when a programme of works is being prepared, reports submitted by residents (via www.surreycc.gov.uk or by calling 0300 200 1003) are taken into account.   If you identify an issue or concern relating to any part of a highway in Buckland, whether related to the main carriageway, roadside footway, roadside verge, traffic signage or drainage please submit an online report.
