Make Wormley High Road Safe

Urgent Appeal: Protect Our Community from Dangerous Traffic

Traffic on Wormley High Road has reached critical levels, with massive trucks speeding through at dangerously high rates. There are no traffic calming measures in place, and vehicles are often seen traveling at double or even more than the speed limit. In February we tragically lost a member of our community due to fast and dangerous driving on our roads. This is also an immediate danger to our children, who we encourage to walk to school.

Our community is at serious risk, suffering not only from the threat of accidents but also from the increasing noise and air pollution caused by the heavy traffic. The situation worsens when the A10 is diverted, often for weeks without notice, leaving residents to cope with disrupted lives and unbearable living conditions—noise, fumes, and sleepless nights.

Additionally, the constant pounding of these heavy vehicles is causing structural damage to our homes, leading to devaluation of properties. We fear that if this issue is not addressed soon, the situation will only deteriorate further.

Broxbourne is promoting economic growth through large businesses like Google, the Printworks, Sunset Studio, and new retail and leisure developments. While we welcome this growth, it must not come at the expense of the well-being of local residents. The current infrastructure cannot support this rapid development without serious consequences.

We need your support to make our community safer by securing:

• Traffic calming measures

• Enhanced safety for pedestrians and cyclists

• Restrictions on heavy goods and large transport vehicles in our residential area

Together, we can protect our community and ensure a safer, more liveable environment for all.
