It was suggested that the junction work was linked to the planning proposal opposite the school (400 new homes) and without the new traffic light junction the housing couldn't go ahead.
Engie advised TollBar to prepare for a lot if noise and disruption. They plan to dig the width of the road 1-metre deep on Station Road each side of the junction to lay cabling. Just as the students are sitting GCSE's. This would completely close access to the junction from Station Road during the dig.

I use this roundabout all the time and the disruption would cause me to drive miles out of my way, many will do the same and this will cause a rat run on minor roads in the area, for a very long time.
It’s completely a waste of time and money! the money would be better invested in a designated drop off area for the School, thiscwould kerp the traffic moving and keep the disruption to a minimum.
Totally against the traffic light system, it will cause long traffic jams which there always is on school mornings & afternoons. The safety of children should be put first & the noise level will disrupt class time. A roundabout is at least more of a consistent flow.
I agree there should be some changes to the junction , but it does not need the roundabout removing, it needs 4 pelican crossings on each approach to the roundabout which will allow children and pedestrians to cross safely at peak times.
The only way to keep the kids safe is a footbridge from new waltham to the school. Put in more lay bys for parents to drop the children off so they don't block the road - this is a big cause of the slow moving traffic in a morning. Traffic lights will not help with the flow of traffic at all!
Traffic lights won't work to much traffic

After being stuck in traffic for twenty minutes twice this week due to temporary traffic lights at waltham toll bar , I question the wisdom of replacing the roundabout with traffic lights !!
