The Action Group for a Safer Shenley

Our Official Launch

The 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.

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

20 Oct 2009 - Our first petition, sponsored by The Mayor of Hertsmere Rosemary Gilligan and introduced to the committee by Mark Blundell, was presented to the Highways Committee of Hertsmere Council.

Click here for the text of the presentation.

Mark was joined at the meeting by Philippa Good, mother of Ben Good who survived a horrible accident outside the Clore Shalom School some eighteen months ago and by Reg Blake and other members of the Action Group.

The Committee requested that Mark’s introduction be left with them to accompany the petition and give them guidance as to our requirements.

We should not expect any immediate action as the committee now has to undertake its own investigation. We will make our own follow up in about two months. The Committee will report back at the next meeting in January.

The First Members Meeting was held on 16 July 2009 in the Village Hall
