On a positive note, Councilor Lambert reported that  Radlett Station would be extended to take 12 coach trains and this was considered to be a major achievement.

Councillor D Lambert reported that there would be a meeting between Councillor H M Saunders and representatives from Highways on 20 March 2007. Councillor Mrs A Baker offered to attend. Mrs R Floate would give Councillor Bakers notes of the meeting. 

The bollard at the bottom of Shenley Hill was still causing problems.
