An "unsightly" and "dangerous" road in Bushey littered with pot holes continues to go unrepaired, despite complaints.

Residents of Three Valleys Way held a protest on Tuesday in a bid to get Persimmon Homes to resurface it.

Developers Persimmon Homes built 121 new flats and houses on the Queen Acres site. Their plans also included building a playground and resurfacing the road.

More than two and half years after residents moved in, work that was promised to be done is yet to be completed.

The residents are growing increasingly frustrated at not only the state of the road, which is uneven and littered with pot holes and a man hole, but the parking situation and the “hazardous” builders yard, which was supposed to a recreation area.

Lynne Kersh, of Malden Fields, which leads into Three Valleys Way, is spearheading the campaign.

She said: "There are huge pot holes, not just on the road but on the pavement too. There is also a man hole and I put a sheet of metal over it a more than a year ago and it is still there.

"The road desperately needs to be fixed – it is unsightly and dangerous.

"Parents with pushchairs have to come off the pavement in order to get by, because not only of the state of the pavement but because of the parked cars. You just can’t pass through and it is very dangerous."

Ms Kersh added that many residents have had their tyres slashed and their cars damaged as a result of the road, and have had to fork out hundreds of pounds to get it fixed.

She said: "Our road is ridden with cars, but they are not residents’ cars. They are either commuters’ cars – those who travel from Bushey station or parents doing the school run.

"We are asking for Persimmon Homes not only to resurface the road so parking restrictions can be put in place, but to finish off the proposed recreation ground, which is nothing short of a hazardous, ugly builder’s yard.”

Another resident, Marrium Athar, of Three Valleys Way, said: "People do not care where or how they park. We have difficulty coming out of our driveway because cars always blocking us in.

"We have complained a number of times and something needs to be done."

Officials at Hertfordshire County Council said they share the frustration of residents and are doing all they can to encourage Persimmon Homes to work with them and carry out the highways work, which are needed with their development and as agreed when the plans were approved.

In the meantime, the county council has been trying to reduce delays where possible by consulting residents on the proposals for a raised junction and enforceable parking restrictions.

A spokesperson for Persimmon Homes said: "We have completed work on the play and recreational areas at our Queens Acre site in Bushey and the resurfacing works on the surrounding roads will be carried out in the near future."
