Hitchin Road, Fairfield between Eliot Way and Dickens Bouelvard roundabouts

Reported via desktop in the Road markings and lining category anonymously at 14:56, Mon 28 October 2024

Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 413797.

We have had some residents expressing safety concerns about cars overtaking along Hitchin Road in Fairfield between the Dickens Boulevard roundabout and the Eliot Way roundabout. There used to be a broken white line in the centre of Hitchin Road but this is no longer there.

I am therefore writing to ask that this line is repainted and if possible it is replaced with double white lines to stop people overtaking at all.

Please can you advise what action you are able to take.
