Hertfordshire County Council has announced a new wave of consultations to implement safer streets, including the introduction of 20mph zones and other road calming measures, in Baldock and the Chells area (Stevenage). This follows implementation of this scheme in Central Hitchin and the Bedwell Area in Stevenage. Local residents are encouraged to show their support for the plans in their area.
Green Councillors understand the importance of these consultations and plans to make our communities safer. We are committed to transform local transport, including through safer routes to schools.
The proposed plans aim to improve road safety, create calmer streets and encourage more walking and cycling. For these plans to go ahead, at least 10% of residents need to respond, of which 50% of responses need to be in favour.
The Baldock and Chells area consultations close on 17 March 2025. You can have your say directly by clicking on the below links for each area:
