There are few things more frustrating than being stuck in congestion. Not only are congested roads annoying for people waiting in queues, the pollution from vehicles has a big impact on our health. Improving how we get around Watford will be really important to the health and success of our town in the future.

Over the last 18 months, it has been great to see some improvements. In particular, our Beryl bike share scheme has been incredibly popular seeing over 145,000 journeys since the launch last March.

Through both our Cycle Forum and Sustainability Forum we have continued to engage with local people, so that local residents can have their say on how we make Watford a greener and healthier place to live, work and visit.

Our new sustainable transport strategy: ‘Transforming Travel in Watford’ builds on the work we have been doing since declaring a climate emergency in 2019 and sets out how we plan to make it easier and greener for people to get around Watford.

Our top priority is to reduce the congestion around Watford and make our air cleaner. This will be achieved by creating a more modern, reliable and sustainable transport system that will offer a range of transport options and build on the work of recent years.

We want to hear your views on the proposals to make sure we do what is best for everyone who lives in Watford. Have your say and view the full strategy at www.futuretravelwatford.com
