Station Road between Redwing Croft and the Post Office
Reported via desktop in the Road markings and lining category anonymously at 17:20, Thu 3 July 2025
Sent to Central Bedfordshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 424880.
The section of Station Road near the post office is permanently a single lane at all times of the day due to on street parking bays, which causes congestion and frustration daily. It is also safety issue having witnessed multiple accidents in this area due to the layout and sight lines. There are multiple barriers along the footpath that have been destroyed after being hit by vehicles.
When heading eastbound towards Henlow Camp on Station Road from the junction with Red Wing Croft to the roundabout it is single lane due to the on street vehicle parking bays. What makes matters worse it is also on a bend and impossible to see oncoming traffic without pulling out into the right hand lane and then find you are heading towards oncoming traffic. This is only going to get worse with increased traffic on this section of road.
