Proposed road safety measures near Breakspeare School have sparked concerns over the school’s future relocation to Croxley.
Currently based in Abbots Langley, plans costing an estimated £130,000 have been put forward to improve safety at the current site.
Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) recently held a consultation until Sunday, January 18, inviting residents to share their views on
the improvements.
The proposals included a new zebra crossing and a 20mph zone extension.
The results of the consultation showed that 54 per cent of respondents supported the crossing and 73.5 per cent backed the zone extension.
Following the consultation results, work to install the new zebra crossing is scheduled to begin in the summer.
However, Abbots Langley councillor Ian Campbell is concerned these plans could mean “that the school will not move to a new, purpose-built facility as planned.”
HCC responded: “These improvements are not connected to Breakspeare School’s relocation plans. These changes will create a safer and accessible crossing point.”
Croxley councillor Chris Lloyd told CROXLEYnews that a planning application for additional foundation work at the new site is expected by the end of March.
Further ground surveys will also be carried out, and extra funding has been approved to cover the additional work.
The current plan suggests the site will open in September 2028.
