Back in 2020 Herts County Council consulted people on whether 20mph speed limits should be allowed only where existing speeds were 25mph or less. After the consultation was over the council decided to change the policy to only allow 20mph limits where the existing speed is 24mph – only 1 mph difference, but one that […]

The council has taken the next step on extending the 40mph limit on Baldock Road, Royston from Rosecomb to just beyond the Therfield turning.

After making it harder to introduce 20mph speed limits Herts County Council said it would spend £7 million to overcome its own rules and introduce at least some more 20mph limits.

Yesterday I had a meeting with the manager responsible for Herts County Council’s grass cutting on rural roads (North Herts Council cuts the verges in the towns) to ask why it has taken until late October or even November before many of the rural verges had been cut this year. There are biodiversity benefits in […]
