| Petition Overview: |
Make Northchurch High Street, a safer and healthier environment for all. We are a thriving and friendly community with approximately 2500 residents. We have three social centres, two churches, a primary school, a pub, local shops and a recreation ground.Pedestrians and cyclists in Northchurch deserve the right to travel through and around the village without fear.The current traffic volume and speed, narrow pavements, insufficient lighting, polluted environment and lack of pedestrian crossings all contribute towards residents' grave concerns.We demand Herts County Council implements measures to reduce the speed of traffic to 20mph, and add pedestrian crossings. To alleviate the above dangers, and in order to encourage sustainable and healthy transport, such as walking and cycling through our village. |
