June 25, 2024 View on council websiteSummary
The Harlow Local Highways Panel meeting on 25 June 2024 focused on several key issues, including the approval of new traffic calming measures, the discussion of pedestrian safety improvements, and the review of ongoing road maintenance projects. Decisions were made to implement traffic calming measures on Church Langley Way and to prioritise pedestrian safety enhancements near local schools.
Traffic Calming Measures on Church Langley Way
The panel approved the implementation of new traffic calming measures on Church Langley Way. The decision was driven by concerns over speeding and the safety of residents. Councillors discussed various options, including speed humps and chicanes. Ultimately, it was decided that a combination of speed humps and enhanced signage would be most effective. One councillor noted, The safety of our residents is paramount, and these measures will help reduce speeding and improve overall safety on Church Langley Way.
Pedestrian Safety Improvements Near Schools
The panel also prioritised pedestrian safety enhancements near local schools, particularly around Harlowbury Primary School. The discussion highlighted the need for improved crossings and better signage to ensure the safety of children. The panel decided to allocate funds for the installation of zebra crossings and additional warning signs. A councillor remarked, Ensuring the safety of our children as they travel to and from school is a top priority. These improvements will make a significant difference.
Review of Ongoing Road Maintenance Projects
The meeting included a review of ongoing road maintenance projects across Harlow. The panel assessed the progress of various initiatives, including pothole repairs and resurfacing works. It was noted that while some projects were on schedule, others had experienced delays due to adverse weather conditions. The panel emphasised the importance of timely completion and discussed strategies to mitigate future delays.
