Suggested text 1 - Resident with child at St Clement Danes Describe the Issue: I wish to complain about the way Hertfordshire Highways has been failing to address the issue of flooding in Green Street, Chorleywood which has been closed for weeks on end, over several occasions in the past few years. My family has a child at St Clement Danes school, and when the dip on Green Street floods they are unable to get to school safely by foot. The alternative waking route if Green Street is closed is via Common Road and Chenies Road - Common Road has no footpath for most of its length. And worse still the footpath on Chenies Road also floods and my child ends up having to walk on the muddy verge or on the road, risking their life. I’ve lived in Chorleywood for a number of years and this appears to a relatively new issue that has only occurred in the past 3 years. Who have you been dealing with: I’ve not been in communication directly with the Council myself but I am aware that the Residents’ Association and our local Councillor have been raising this issue over recent years. Action to be taken: Herts Highways take positive action to pump or drain away the water to restore access along Green Street for both vehicles and pedestrians as quickly as possible If it is necessary to close the road, can signs please be erected to warn traffic before they turn into either end of Green Street rather than signposting at the last minute, along with a diversionary route Urgent action is taken by Herts Highways to identify the root cause of the excessive water and take necessary action to prevent further flooding in this location before next winter, for both vehicles using the road and pedestrian access to St Clement Danes School from the village. Urgent action is taken to resolve flooding that also affects the footpath on Chenies Road near Common Road .

Prepared text 3 - Resident with missed delivery Describe the Issue: I wish to complain about the way Hertfordshire Highways has been failing to address the issue of flooding in Green Street, Chorleywood which has been closed for weeks on end, over several occasions in the past few years. I have been inconvenienced several times over the past couple of years waiting at home for deliveries to arrive which have failed to turn up. When I have queried this with the delivery company they have reported that the delivery driver was unable to find a safe driving route into the village. Whilst Herts cannot be held responsible for delivery drivers, it is responsible to reasonably maintain the highway free from flooding.

Action to be taken: Herts Highways take positive action to pump or drain away the water to restore access along Green Street for both vehicles and pedestrians as quickly as possible If it is necessary to close the road, can signs please be erected to clearly warn traffic before they turn into either end of Green Street rather than signposting at the last minute, along with a comprehensive diversionary route so delivery drivers are not given any excuses for non-delivery Urgent action is taken by Herts Highways to identify the root cause of the excessive water and take necessary action to prevent further flooding in this location before next winter, for both vehicles using the road and pedestrian access to the School from the village. . Prepared text 4 - Resident who would use the bus Describe the Issue: I wish to complain about the way Hertfordshire Highways has been failing to address the issue of flooding in Green Street, Chorleywood which has been closed for weeks on end, over several occasions in the past few years. I’ve lived in Chorleywood for a number of years and this appears to a relatively new issue that has only occurred in the past three years. I have lost count of the number of times I have been unable to get the 336 bus from Chorleywood. Even worse is the fact that Hertfordshire Intalink seem to take no responsibility to inform their residents of the fact that the bus cannot call in Chorleywood and as a result passengers like me are left waiting around at the bus stop with no information. We then have to make alternative transport arrangements which usually means using the Underground trains and our bus concessionary passes are not valid on the London Underground Who have you been dealing with: I’ve not been in communication directly with the Council myself but I am aware that the Residents’ Association and our local Councillor have been raising this issue over recent years. Action to be taken: Herts Highways take positive action to pump or drain away the water to restore access along Green Street for both vehicles and pedestrians as quickly as possible If it is necessary to close the road, can Hertfordshire Intalink collaborate with Transport for Buckinghamshire and Carousel Buses to ensure that customers hoping to get the bus in Chorleywood are kept informed that the bus is unable to call in the village. Urgent action is taken by Herts Highways to identify the root cause of the excessive water and take necessary action to prevent further flooding in this location before next winter, for both vehicles using the road and pedestrian access to the School from the village. Action is taken to liaise with Carousel Buses to see if the the bus can rerouted in any way during times when flooding has to close the road.
