Camberley’s Multi-Storey Car Parks to be Improved!

The Main Square

and Knoll Road Car Parks are going to be modernised.  Plans are in place to refurbish and improve

both car parks in Camberley town centre. 

Last week Surrey Heath Borough Council agreed to go ahead with

improvement work that will make them easier and safer for people to use.

The Main Square Car Park will have new lighting that will

provide better quality light for drivers and pedestrians.  The lights will also be more efficient and

lead to reduced energy bills!  CCTV will

also be installed to boost security for car park users and also help to prevent

vandalism to the car park and anti social behaviour. The main stairway will

also have a “makeover” with repainted walls, repaired windows, doors and

handrails.  The improvements are hoped to

be finished by November 2010.

Councillor Chris Rowbotham, who has responsibility for the

Build Environment, said “We want visitors to have good facilities for car

parking and these enhancements will improve the car parks for drivers and

pedestrians.

“By upgrading the existing lighting system, the resulting reductions to the

electricity consumption will enable the council to reduce its carbon footprint,

as well as reduce costs.”

Plans will be produced for both car parks to ensure that

improvement work and maintenance will be undertaken to extend the life of both

car parks.  A further report on

additional proposed improvement to the car parks identified in the plans will

be presented to the Council’s Executive in August 2010.
