Stevenage MP Stephen McPartland was brought in by Michael Hearn, local councillor for Martins Wood, to help with a long-standing problem in Foxfield with the one-way restrictions being ignored by many drivers.  Stephen said, "I have raised the situation with Hertfordshire highways and they have agreed to place some straight ahead road marking arrows on the road to remind people it is a one way street. I will also ask them if they can look at some additional measures I discussed with the residents."

Foxfield residents met with Stephen and Michael to raise their concerns, commenting, "As well as cars, you often see delivery vans going the wrong way and even vehicles used by various local public services.  Foxfield has been one-way for 20 years, but people are ignoring the signs more and more.  It is an accident waiting to happen."
