'I myself have ended up in hospital after a motorist hit me without looking. 'A fellow cyclist recently suffered serious injuries including spinal fractures.'
SPOKES has now entered a petition on the Hertfordshire County Council website calling for agreed improvements to be made a “priority scheme” for funding.
The proposed changes would apparently improve sight lines and make it more obvious that vehicles need to stop. Liberal Democrat county councillor Stephen Giles Medhurst said: “It's beyond doubt that the junction of Water Lane and the High Street is dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists.“However, although this was agreed and oven ready a year ago, it has still not been delivered.”
A Hertfordshire County Council spokesperson said: “The petition has been uploaded to the website in line with our petitions scheme and if it attains the required signatures it will be presented and considered by the council." Under the council’s petition scheme, it will need 250 signatures to be considered by the cabinet or a cabinet panel and 1,000 to be considered by full council.
