Kings Langley Parish Council (KLPC) has commissioned a feasibility study into an allegedly dangerous junction in the village.
KLPC has become “increasingly worried” about the high number of incidents and near-misses at the junction between Vicarage Lane and High Street.
As a result, KLPC has now decided to commission a feasibility study from WSP Consultations to survey the junction and come up with proposals as to how it can be made safer for vehicles, pedestrians and cyclists.
Once the report is complete, KLPC plans to seek funding to carry out the recommended works.
Councillor John Morrish, lead for KLPC’s Transport Group, said: “We have been monitoring the situation at the junction for a number of years and as Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) is currently not able to help us, we have decided that now is the time for us to look for a solution ourselves.
“We have already had a briefing meeting with WSP Consultants and look forward to taking things forward when we receive their report.”
A spokesperson for HCC said: “We’ve arranged for our highways consultants, WSP, to carry out a feasibility study on behalf of KLPC and we look forward to seeing the report once the parish council has received it.”
