Mike Penning welcomes the announcement by Hertfordshire Highways that Section 106 money will be used to improve safety at the Lower Road railway bridge.

Highways officials made the announcement at a meeting on Monday night. The money will fund several key requirements of local residents, including a safe walkway under the bridge and additional signage at the approaches to the bridge.

Mike, who presented a petition from local residents to Parliament in May, said:
“I welcome this announcement and am pleased the Hertfordshire Highways have listened to the concerns of local residents. I look forward to work starting on this as soon as possible.”

He added:
“I pay tribute to local residents for making their views known and organising the petition. I hope that this is resolved to the satisfaction of everyone concerned.”
