Worried residents can have their say on proposals put forward by the county council to combat speeding in Kings Langley.

Two years ago, county councillor Sara Bedford and Three Rivers councillor Joy Mann, asked Hertfordshire County Council to draw up a traffic calming scheme in Station Road after residents raised concerns about the number of speeding motorists.

Following a survey of traffic speed in the road the council have put forward three suggestions.

They are proposing to install a series of speed bumps between Kingley Park and the Home Park Mill Link Road junction and raise the current pedestrian crossing adjacent to Kings Langley rail station into a flat top bump.

The council also plan to put a gateway feature beneath the M25 overpass in the northbound direction.

Cllr Sara Bedford said, "We genuinely want to hear residents' views on these plans.

"We would have liked to incorporate other features, such as a mini-roundabout at he the junction of the Home Park Link Road, but there is just not enough room on this narrow road".

Councillor for the Gade Valley ward, Joy Mann, who has worked closely with the residents on the speeding problems, said: "I'm pleased that Sara has been able to persuade the county council to take this issue seriously. This could make a real difference to the lives of residents in Station Road."

The speed bumps will also help calm traffic going into and coming from Toms Lane, just off Station Road.

Villagers have raised concerns about the speed motorists travel down the road, which is the main access route for people living there.

However, the road also has no pedestrian walkway and residents are worried that if nothing is done to improve the road layout, accidents will happen.

Vice-chairman of Abbots Langley Parish Council Alex Michaels previously told the Watford Observer: "Thankfully there’s not been anything serious along here, but living up here I speak to local residents and people are very unhappy about it.

"I think it’s really important that highways are able to have a look and see what they can do to help us. I’d hate for someone to look back and say we could have done something when we had the chance."

The consultation opened this week. Residents can view the proposals online at www.hertsdirect.org.
