From 9pm Friday 10 May to 6am Monday 13 May, there will be a full closure of the M25 in both directions between Junction 9 (Leatherhead) and Junction 10 (Wisley) to carry out the installation of a bridge and gantry. 

Long distance and local diversions will be in place.   Drivers should look to re-route or re-time their journey or use other forms of transport.    

You should only drive through this area during this closure if your journey is essential as it is expected there will be long delays during this time.

This is the second of several closures of the M25 and A3 that will be undertaken during 2024.  Future closure dates are subject to change and the third one will be announced as soon as possible following completion of the works on Monday 13 May 2024.

Hard on the heels of finally achieving a 20mph limit in Chalk Lane, your Parish Council’s long running quest to bring about a reduction in The Drift has also been successful. The previous 60 mph limit has now been lowered to 30mph.

For some years East Horsley Parish Council’s Road Safety Task Group has been pressing Surrey Highways (SH) to take steps to curb excessive speeding and dangerous overtaking on the downhill stretch of road from Outdowns to Green Dene. Drawing on local knowledge and data collected by the village Speedwatch team, it was pointed out that, if nothing was done, a serious accident was likely at some stage.

The Task Group’s urgings went unheeded and tragically the collision that was dreaded duly occurred on Sunday morning when a motor cyclist lost his life.

EHPC fervently hopes that measures will now be taken by SH to reduce the risk of such devastating circumstances happening again.
