Despite Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) reassuring the community that drivers have been “in line with the speed limit”, Three Rivers Police caught 21 speeding drivers in Chorleywood.
The last two editions of Chorleywood News have reported on the concerns of two residents, who shared their frustration over poor driving and speeding on Heronsgate Road and Stag Lane.
Despite sharing their concerns with authorities and campaigning for change for 15 years, it seemed as if nothing was being done.
Now, Three Rivers Police have shared on their social media that 21 drivers had been caught speeding along Heronsgate Road and Stag Lane in one afternoon.
The post said: “Due to the recent reports of speeding in Chorleywood, officers from the Rickmansworth Neighbourhood Police Team have been carrying out speed checks and will continue to conduct speed checks in the future.
“Twenty-three vehicles were recorded with the speed indicator device on Heronsgate Road in Chorleywood on Wednesday, March 19.”
This comes after a HCC spokesperson told Chorleywood News in March that the council had carried out speed surveys and that “the average speed of vehicles along the road is around 20mph, in line with the speed limit”.
Of the vehicles recorded, nine were recorded exceeding the 20mph speed limit and one vehicle was recorded over 30mph.
Later that day, a further 16 vehicles were recorded on Stag Lane, with 11 exceeding the speed limit. This takes the total of cars speeding on the two roads up to 21.
Three Rivers Police alerted residents in their social media post that warning letters will be sent to the worst offending drivers, and “this will be collated for any future offences to take into consideration”.
