The Action Group for a Safer Shenley

Our Official Launch

The MayorThe Mayor of Hertsmere, Rosemary Gilligan, was present on Sunday 28th June at Shenley Fete to support the official Launch of the Action Group for a Safer Shenley.

Support was astounding and the goodwill shown by everybody we spoke to was most encouraging. Click here for more . . . .

Our Aims are:

  • to work actively towards the reduction of vehicle speed on all roads in Shenley;
  • to work towards improved general safety of all residents and visitors within the Shenley area

Why?

Because speed of traffic through our village and particularly on the main approach roads is resulting in more and more accidents and it is only a matter of time before somebody is killed. Pedestrians take their lives into their hands when walking along any of the approach roads to the village because of the speed of most vehicles. The Action Group’s aims are to lobby support for traffic calming measures to slow the traffic to the legal limits and preferably less on all roads into and through the village.

Shenley Accident

We can only tackle one area of concern at a time and we will be starting with Shenleybury leading on to Black Lion Hill. Please see our current petition. Once we have succeeded in this area we shall move on to the other roads of concern: Green Street leading onto Woodhall Lane; London Road and Radlett Lane.

If you have concerns about other roads please contact us.

Latest News

Come and see us at the Shenley Community Fair on Thursday 25th February from 6.30pm.

Many of you will know that it was decided over a year ago that the 40 mph speed limit along Shenleybury would be extended to beyond the junction of Farm Close going towards Bell Lane.  Now 14 month later this has not happened and Hertfordshire Highways cannot or will not tell us why.

This is a disgrace and the continued failure of Highways to carry out this simple task continues to put the children of Clore Shalom School in unnecessary danger.  It also endangers the children of Shenley JMI who walk to the Clore Shalom School for their Shared Futures Project and anyone else who uses this stretch of road.

Please feel free to email the Highways department to express your feeling about this appalling situation -

If you cannot be there on the 25th and have some views please contact us.
