Default Major projects update

Extract from ‘About Watford’ - Watford Borough Council magazine
January 2008



Major projects update

The focus now will be on major projects which will aim to make it
easier for everyone to move around the area, particularly Watford.
Some of these are already in the pipeline and you may have seen some
news in the local press. They include work to improve Watford Junction
station, such as:
.building a new road to link St Albans Road and Colonial Road.(Way)
.building a new entrance to the station on the north side and moving
access to car parking from the new road
.increasing the capacity of the car park and making improvements to it
.altering the main entrance so that it is easier for buses and taxis
to go in and out
.providing more cycle parking

There is also a big project being developed called the Croxley Rail
Link which will allow Metropolitan Line underground trains to travel
via a currently disused rail line and stop at Watford High Street and
Watford Junction.

There is some legal procedures to follow and planning permission will
be needed but if all goes well the Watford Junction project could
start by 2011 with the Croxley Rail Link following within a year or
two.

Now what was it that a certain politician said about "arrangements in
breweries"?

Nice to see. I was born in Watford, though I've spent more than half my
life in Birmingham. Oh, mia patria..................
