Hertfordshire, a non-car family make use of Hatfield's new cycle lanes

Until the new route along the A1000 opened, it was very difficult to visit Stanborough Park (a local park with 2 lakes north of Hatfield) due to the A414 being impossible to cross. It was a national speed limit road with no crossing.

What does the local community think?

Adam Edwards of Hatfield writes:

"We can now cycle or walk to the lake almost entirely on the cycle path. Recently I did a run to Stanborough, round to Welwyn Garden City and back via the watermill at Mill Green along NCN12/61, with my daughter aged 7 on her Puky (a trike with a handle to push) and my son on the back of my bike. Only three miles or so, but a huge achievement for Eleanor. Both my children enjoy cycling as they see it as safe and fun.

"As a non-car family Jane and I do our utmost to encourage our children to walk, to use bikes and public transport."
