The barrier at the end of Bourne End Lane and other issues ......
A member of Hertfordshire Highways met with Gordon Rolfe, Chris Mabley and John Mawer on Thursday of this week regarding the development at Bourne End Mills. A number of issues were discussed, not least the importance of separating traffic between Upper Bourne End Lane and Bourne End Lane yet allowing pedestrian access. · The separation of traffic including motorbikes was seen as one of the fundamentals of the project from the outset. There was no disagreement on this and an acceptance that bollards were not an adequate solution. · The prospect of moving the turning head back more towards Bourne End Lane had a number of advantages. It would, o create an more rural feel by introducing a green area between the industrial and residential areas; o Increase the separation to the point that Bourne End Lane would not be visible from the other side of the barrier; o and create an open area for the village and improved outlook for the new houses. ·
