Hertfordshire County Council is seeking the public’s views on a range of proposals to improve walking and cycling.

The council has secured £6.4 million funding from the government to create safer, easier to use spaces for those that walk and cycle.

Eleven different proposals across six towns in Hertfordshire have been identified.

Four proposals for Watford have made the final shortlist of 11; more than any other town or city in the county.

The proposals include upgrading the temporary cycle lane in Wiggenhall Lane, near Oxhey Park, to provide a permanent facility.

Existing cycle lanes along parts of Watford High Street and Market Street in the town centre are also in line to be upgraded.

The council is also looking at improving cycling facilities linking Watford Business Park and Cassiobury Park. There are also plans to make junction improvements at Stratford Way and Hempstead Road.

The final proposal is the creation of a low neighbourhood traffic scheme on the Cassiobury Estate, designed to put some restrictions on vehicle access and stop it being used as a "rat-run".

There would be improvements to walking and cycling facilities in the area.

Councillor Phil Bibby, cabinet member for highways and environment at the county council, said: "These improvements will encourage and empower many more people to travel in an active and environmentally friendly way, which in turn will deliver significant long-term benefits to the health and wellbeing of our residents and reduce our impact on the environment.

"We want everyone in Hertfordshire to get involved and have their say on the proposals, so we can ensure they are developed with our communities in mind."

The other five areas in Hertfordshire identified for improvements are St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Welwyn Garden City, Stevenage, and Buntingford.

The public are invited to find out more and offer their feedback on the initial proposals by March 16.

This feedback will be used to shape how the schemes will progress ahead of public consultation later in the year for the prioritised projects.
