The new traffic signals at the junction of Sevenoaks High Street with Pembroke Road and Suffolk Way were now working with the inclusion of a pedestrian phase.  The SDC Chief Officer Environmental and Operational Services informed Members that the proposal to extend the Buckhurst 2 Car park  should planning permission for the decking of the car park be granted, could be alleviated by phasing of the lights to allow increased times during certain parts of the day to reduce congestion in this area and increase the capacity of this junction.  The KCC District Manager (Sevenoaks) confirmed that once queue length timings were set they would be in place 24/7 and could not be set for peak times only.  Members requested that if planning permission was granted then the traffic signals should be considered at the meeting.  It was requested that a model of the queue lengths be brought to a future meeting.
