Residents of Hollier Court are campaigning for a pedestrian crossing across French Horn Lane. They have raised a petition which will be presented to Welwyn Hatfield Council and the Environment Committee of Hertfordshire County Council. Your Conservative District Councillors have backed this campaign and Councillor Bennett has taken the lead position by getting the Officer in charge of road crossings to visit the site and meet the residents.

The outcome of the meeting is that Warning Signs were erected and a 30mph warning sign will be painted in the road with 5 weeks. As for the crossing, there is no money this year. Under the County Council road crossing schemes, French Horn Lane is at the top of the medium range of problem areas and with 200 points is on the brink of high risk. We hope a scheme will be on next financial years (2002/03) for a zebra crossing or a traffic island.

Residents have presented a petition to Welwyn Hatfield Council and should be presenting the petition to Herts County Council.

We are also looking to whether this area is suitable for a trial scheme of illuminated reactive signs.
