Object to Knebworth (in general)
- Existing traffic management issue in village centre
- Highway infrastructure and congestion
- Unsafe highway/pavements
- Lack of off street parking
There are already significant traffic management/transport issues that need to resolved regardless of any new housing development in the village namely:
a) Parking on both sides of London Road in the village centre (a bus route) see photo
b) The 3 narrow railway bridges in the village on blind bends, two of which have pavements of inadequate width see photos
All of the above create congestion and safety issues
c) inadequate car parking for Knebworth station.
The Technical Note Odyssey Markides prepared for NHDC in September 2016 does not give any detail on proposed mitigation for Knebworth's traffic problems.
