Cycling UK relaunches Fill that hole

Potholes are more than a nuisance, they can be a serious danger to cyclists and others. In the UK, there’s an average of one road defect for every 110 metres of road!

Local councils have a duty to maintain the roads, but they can only fill a pothole if they know about it. If you want it repaired, you have to report it

SPOKES have been promoting the Green Ring for several years with the aim of providing a safe circular route around the centre of Watford, linking the various access routes into the town centre

Hertfordshire County Council – Highways Authority, will be responsible for any improvements to roads that form part of the Green Ring in Watford

The Watford Council website has a useful page giving details of the plans for improving the eastern loop of the Green Ring. It also shows a strategy for future transport in the area with an emphasis on walking & cycling
