 | READ THE PROPOSALThe Integrated Transport Projects (ITP) team of Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) was requested to develop proposals to improve cycling facilities to the south of the town centre based on the feasibility study undertaken, as a result of South West Hertfordshire Cycling Study Scheme SWH5 – “Southern access to Town Centre. We have subsequently developed the recommendations .. “ |
 | READ OUR RESPONSEThank you for the opportunity to comment on the proposed changes. We welcome the proposals, as having the ability to cycle the full length of the High St. has been a leading issue for SPOKES members for the last 15 years. We believe pedestrians & cyclists & disabled people should have a priority over motor vehicles, car-parking should be in official car-parks, but all parties should be catered for. |

The logical thing is to make cycling and walking your preferred transport. You make sure that streets prioritise people over vehicles. You legislate and fund accordingly. Walking, cycling, public transport, taxis, private cars. In that order. At the moment it’s almost totally the other way round. It’s not logical or sustainable.
