Local Democracy ReporterA headteacher says roads around his school are too dangerous for staff to walk home at night.
Simon Jaggard, head and director of education at St Joseph's Specialist School in Cranleigh, which employs more than 300 staff, said those finishing an evening shift find the narrow roads they have to walk down a concern with the speed of the cars passing.
Speaking at Waverley Borough Council and Surrey County Council's local committee meeting on Friday, Mr Jaggard said: "Our school was originally in the countryside and it's now on an urban boundary. The road is not safe."
The school, on Amlets Lane, is a co-educational residential and day school catering for children between the ages of 5 to 19 with complex and severe learning difficulties.
Councillor Liz Townsend, said being able to walk to school or get to school safely was vital for children's development. She said: "The young people who go to the school need to have experience of independent living and crossing the road with staff. It's so dangerous."
Surrey County Council highways officers are due to carry out a safety audit of traffic along the road on Thursday and report back to the the council later this month.

Guildford burial reviewpublished at 15:22 British Summer Time 2 July 2018

Local Democracy ReporterCouncillors in one Surrey borough are being asked if they want to make a profit from burying the dead.
A review of burial sites in and around Guildford is under way as officers prepare for when space runs out in 10 years' time.
There are currently no publicly-owned plots available for those wanting a traditional Catholic grave, natural burial or cremated remains.
And there is "very limited space left" for Catholic lawn graves, non-conformists from the travelling community or Muslims.
Guildford Borough Council (GBC) operates two open burial grounds - Stoke and The Mount - both based in Guildford, plus it is responsible for eight closed churchyards within the borough.
A site has been allocated for the cemetery in the Draft Local Plan in Worplesdon, but this will be at a cost of between £5 million and £7 million.
A business case has now been drawn up with councillors being asked to comment.
In papers to go before members of the Society, Environment and Development committee at GBC on Thursday, 5 July, councillors will be asked whether the council should still provide a cemetery or if it should allow the private sector to do this.
If councillors agree that it should be the council's responsibility, then they are asked whether it should be as a subsidised service, to break even or to generate income.

University Technical College in Newhaven to closepublished at 14:05 British Summer Time 2 July 2018
Image source, UTCThe University Technical College (UTC) in Newhaven is to close next year, it's been announced.
The governors of UTC asked the Department for Education to terminate an agreement to run the facility from August 2019 and the Government agreed.
Existing pupils will be able to stay and finish their courses and new students due to join the UTC in September 2018 will be offered places in alternative schools.
An Ofsted report is due to be published on Wednesday.
Quote MessageThe UTC has not been able to recruit enough students to become financially stable and to deliver fully on its educational vision. The Governors decided that the best way forward is to propose termination of its agreement with the Department for Education.
Quote MessageThis has been a very difficult and hugely disappointing decision for the Governors to make. They recognise that this announcement will cause concern to students, staff and parents. Their primary concern is the welfare and education of students currently attending the UTC and those who have applied to join from September, and the decision was taken at the earliest opportunity in the light of the upcoming summer break.
