  • Response to Hertfordshire County Council South
    Walking in Hertfordshire – Time to Reverse 60+ Years of Loss of Walking Routes South Herts Living Streets Manifesto for Walking in South Hertfordshire South Herts Living Streets Group is dedicated to improving walking routes in South Hertfordshire, including part of the London Borough of Barnet that was previously in Hertfordshire. We focus on walking routes between North London and Hertfordshire, from Apex Corner at Mill Hill and High Barnet Station North towards Borehamwood, South Mimms, North Mymms, Welham Green, Hatfield, Stanborough and Welwyn Garden City. We also propose an East-West walking route from the Herts/Essex border at Waltham Abbey to Waltham Cross, Cuffley, Northaw, Potters Bar, South Mimms, Ridge and Borehamwood. Our comprehensive survey of walking in South Herts shows a major loss of pavements and safe walking routes due to motorways and trunk roads that were built in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. These have had a major impact on walking routes in the South Hertfordshire Area. Many walking routes that go along or across major roads have been lost or have become unsafe due to: A6 South Mimms Bypass (1958) A1 Mill Hill to South Mimms change to dual carriageway (1960s and 1970s) London 'D' Ring Road/M25 (1971) A1(M) Junction 1/M25 Junction 23 at South Mimms (1972) A1(M) Junctions 1 - 2 South Mimms to South Hatfield (1970s) A1(M) Junction 3 and Hatfield Tunnel (1982). Since then more walking routes have been lost because some footways beside roads were planned but were never built and other footways that existed in the past were buried under banks of earth.
