It is important to remember that this route is supposed to be access only, a policy that has clearly failed miserably. Many of the vehicles using that route shouldn’t be there in the first place. The people living on Byde Street, Wellington Street and Nelson Street are our friends and neighbours, and I am compelled to think that it is everyone’s duty to make Bengeo a pleasant and safer place to live and work. Therefore we need to do something about this anomaly, which I am told is one of the Cars driving along the pavement on Wellington Street. worst bottlenecks in Hertfordshire. In 1990 when we moved to Bengeo I discovered the In 2001, 20 years ago, a questionnaire was sent by so called “Bengeo rat run”. This is a route from the District Council to everyone living in the Bengeo to Hertford North Railway Station via Byde affected area setting out a number of options. 49% Street, Wellington Street and Nelson Street. This of respondents voted for a barrier in Byde Street. route has been used as a short-cut to the Station, However, in the end the Council did nothing – the A119 and the A414 (via Sele Farm) and to get to basically because agreement could not be reached Welwyn Garden City for many years. Apparently on the best way forward. In 2008 a trial closure of once upon a time people used to take driving tests Byde Street was proposed. This ran into local on those streets, precisely because they require skill opposition and eventually the trial was abandoned. to navigate. The campaign to ease traffic on these The level of inaction over many years is frankly streets is something I am personally backing stunning – and I believe that it is only through the because I think it is important and I will explain why. constant pressure of residents that change will When I first encountered the “rat run”, I thought that happen. this short cut to Hertford North would be short When we discussed this matter in the Bengeo lived. Surely the council would block it off – as has Neighbourhood Plan, Lower Bengeo traffic came up happened throughout the country in similar time after time in public consultation. However, as situations. Built in Victorian times, these streets were the Plan is a planning document directly addressing never designed for the volume or type of traffic that this issue is difficult. Nevertheless, we promote now uses them. improvements to pavements, cycleways and I used to cycle to the station daily using that route in footpaths in the plan and encourage sustainable the 1990s and I had many close encounters with cars transport measures. going in the opposite direction – it has always been pretty scary going down there on a bike. Why parking is not the problem Since those days these streets have become far When I discussed this issue on Facebook there were worse. Residents have to cope with daily incidents of some posts that kept coming up time after time. road rage, parked cars being hit, pedestrians being “It is parking and not traffic that is the real issue” was hit by cars and even schoolchildren run into. one of the most prevalent. It would be nice to think Residents have even been punched and threatened that parking cars on those streets could be banned by irrational, angry motorists. The problem has got and then the issues would go away. Unfortunately, so bad that there is now a serious safety issue that nothing is farther from the truth and it is my view needs urgently addressing, which includes cars that removing the parked cars may make things driving along pavements at speed. even worse.
