BOXMOOR TRAFFIC STRATEGY LAUNCHED
Since April 2021 Boxmoor's councillors supported by 23 local volunteers have spent over 100 hours surveying and analysing traffic flows at notorious rat runs and busy roads across Boxmoor. "We needed to understand the scale and nuances of a problem before we can discuss solutions." says Adrian England, County Councillor for Boxmoor. Key findings so far are that: - traffic on Lockers Park Lane increases by 6.5 times on a school day - 89% of eastbound rush hour traffic on St Johns Rd is through traffic - at peak times pedestrians have to cope with a car every five seconds on Fishery Road This collected data and analysis is to help support lobbying and inform decision-making. As a result of the data collected, Boxmoor Councillors have found the funding for a pedestrian crossing on Fishery Road and Herts County Council are undertaking a feasibility study.

Forget about those Downing Street Parties, Forget about Johnson - the Tories are quietly Removing our Freedoms
Forget about those Parties, forget about Johnson - the Tories are removing our Freedoms one by one. It's the Tories we need to get rid of, not just the current Prime Minister. Three years ago I, and about a million other people, marched to Parliament Square campaigning for another Referendum on Brexit - now that the British people finally were realising what it was all about. At the critical moment we raised such a cheer that we were getting mobile calls to say that the MPs had heard us in the Chamber of the House of Commons. Sadly the Conservatives got enough Labour support to vote out our call for a second referendum (or "third", some say). However protest like that might be difficult or impossible in the future. The Conservatives have brought in an Elections Bill - which will make it more difficult to vote by requiring mandatory photo ID to be presented at the polling station - although I personally always have my bus pass to hand. They have brought in a Police, Crime, S
