Angry shoppers are joining the call to sort out the town's traffic problems.

Neighbours have taken to social media to express their outrage and discontent at the traffic travelling in and around the shopping car park off Theobald Street.

Some of the major concerns is the pedestrian crossing being ‘poorly lit’ and many drivers ignoring the law to stop and let the public safely cross the road.

Melanie Willimott, from Borehamwood, said: “I personally think that putting a poorly lit zebra crossing less than 100 metres away from a main road turning is dangerous.

“I am surprised it hasn’t been mentioned before. The lights there are pretty much non-existent.”

Jodi Schneider, 31, who moved out of Borehamwood due to the traffic said: “It’s horrific. You can never get a parking space no matter what time of day you go.

“I have given up on going there now. You now have to walk between car parking spaces and if you have a pram it’s really dangerous.

“The main problem is that it comes out onto Theobald Street. The roundabout at the end is a big problem.

“If there are any queues on the junction near the train station then the queues go down Theobald Street and cars queue over the roundabout.

“The council are putting up buildings all over the town and they seem to have reduced the car parking spaces.”

With more and more people becoming disappointed with the traffic around the town, the proposed bus cuts revealed in a previous story has left many neighbours worried at the increased traffic.

For one person the bus service has a dark future and it is not due to the proposed cuts by Hertfordshire County Council.

Steve Simmonds, from Sullivan Buses, revealed at the latest Elstree and Borehamwood Residents Association on January 19 that it is the traffic that will ‘undermine the bus service.’ Mr Simmonds said: “We have got a major problem in the town. The traffic in Borehamwood will undermine the bus service.

“The traffic has made our services unreliable meaning people who use our services to get to work have to find alternative ways.

“It’s a downward spiral. I have seen it happen elsewhere.

“Some of our bus services have had to change their routes because of the traffic. Some of them now don’t go down Shenley Road anymore because of the delays.

“I don’t think there is a solution at the moment. I think someone has got to look at the Boulevard shopping park.”

Mr Simmonds also explained at the meeting that before Christmas 2015 there were queues of traffic from Brook Road to Manor Way.

Hertfordshire County Council is considering slashing £390,000 of bus funding this year, on top of the £1.5m cuts made in 2015 due to funding shortages.

This would mean that the 107 busy service and the 292 to Colindale would no longer travel into Elstree or Borehamwood.

However, according to Mr Simmonds, the proposed cuts to the 107 and 292 bus service will only have minor changes in 2016.

Peter Bradley, head of consultation for Transport for London, said: “We have no plans at this stage to make any changes to any of the routes that run between London and Hertfordshire.

"If we were to make any changes in the future, we would undertake full consultation with stakeholders and customers in the normal way, as we do for any changes proposed to the London bus network."
