Having just read Stephen’s comment I feel quite happy that people park on Crossways Road at the moment as in fact it acts as a speed restriction but sadly not calming if the recent drivers’ responses are anything to go by.  If there were no parked cars can you imagine the speed of the cars, nightmare! [...]

Problem has been particularly bad since the closure of Headley Road.  I have had two near misses with cars on my side of the road and my wife has had one.  We reckon that some drivers are clocking up 60 mph plus and we feel that sooner or later there will be a nasty accident.  I [...]

Stoney Bottom/Crossways Road junction was listed as a black spot by the Highways a long time a go because of the same problems you are experiencing. Parking on Crossways Road at the brow of the hill has also caused me a few near scrapes as well. So be careful !

Enclosed is an email which may be of interest which I sent on the 22 nd February 2007 to the Parish Council and others in Grayshott and copied to Diana Owen of the National Trust who was heading the newly formed Hindhead Together Group at the time.   Prior to the forming of “Hindhead Together” there were meetings held [...]

I agree that a crossing in Crossways road would be great, perhaps towards the carpark or even by the green. There is a lack of traffic calming on Crossways road and although I agree that crossings and calming are annoying and unsightly for motorists I feel that they are necessary for the safety of pedestrians, especially [...]

Hi Karen, I agree that there are safer places to cross but seeing as both Crossways and Headley roads are very busy, surely some kind of safer crossing is justifiable.  Regarding crossing outside the entrance to the church, am I not right in thinking that the pavement on the Hill road side does not actually extend [...]

When I first lived in Grayshott at the end of the Eighties there was a lollipop lady. She kept her lollipop leaning behind the wall of what is now the charity shop in Crossways Rd! By the time my boys went to Grayshott school in the early Nineties there was no lollipop person and, correct me [...]

Thanks Ferris, I’ll send them an email asking to improve signage to places that are through Grayshott, e.g. Headley, Headley Down

The signage is being organised by the Highways Agency through Balfour Beatty. However, regarding businesses and the shops, they are working to a spec from Buy in Grayshott, so it might be better from a co-ordination point of view, to email or chat to, Dick Smith. General signage that is not about shops should go direct to Balfour [...]

So who should we contact to see if signage could be improved?

I have been thinking the grayshott/pottery/punchbowl etc signs on the A3 itself are NOT good – coming down the A3 (southbound) they are too far up the slip road ie you would only see them if you’d already turned off for Grayshott – and unless you knew we are here, you’d miss the town etc.  Normally [...]

I come up from Petersfield a couple of times a week and I only notice the Diversion signs because I knew the road was closed.  Actually on the roundabout the only signage is on the exit you have to take but it doesnt tell you that the Headley Road is closed or that you have to [...]

I think it would be almost impossible to put a crossing at “Five Ways” crossroads, and a zebra or pelican crossing anywhere would look awful.   There are ways to cross the roads more safely – the problem is that most people cannot be bothered to walk a little further!  For example, from Hill Road, if you [...]

Certainly the upload speed here is dreadful. Every Monday we have to upload huge amounts of photographs from the events we have covered at the weekend and there have been more than a few times when I have travelled to a colleague’s house in Woking to send them at vastly superior speeds than we have in [...]
