\n Candice Adams, who works in Rickmansworth and drives her children to school there, added: \u201cI, as a resident, need to have access to work and my children\u2019s school.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cA big, multi-million production from HBO shouldn\u2019t be able to stop me getting to work.\u201d\n<\/p>\n
\n There are no bus stops or train stations within walking distance and the only alternative exit from the west side of closure is along northward on Church Lane. Drivers must take then Blackwell Hall Lane or travel more than a mile to Ley Hill or Flaunden before they can turn start heading in another direction.\n<\/p>\n
\n One resident told the Watford Observer she will drive via Ley Hill and accept the extra distance, but fears those just passing through will just follow the diversion without realising how narrow it is and end up in \u201cgridlock\u201d.\n<\/p>\n
\n Thomas Broom, Buckinghamshire Council\u2019s transport lead, highlighted the county\u2019s \u201cstrong track record\u201d of attracting film and TV productions that benefit local communities.\n<\/p>\n
\n He said: “Buckinghamshire Council approved a temporary road closure for filming activity in Latimer following its usual notification, consultation and assessment processes.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
\n A temporary car park has already been set up for the filming on a field in the village.\n<\/p>\n
\n \u201cThe production company engaged with residents and local stakeholders throughout the planning process, and feedback helped shape measures to minimise disruption where reasonably practicable.\n<\/p>\n
\n “The closure has been approved to ensure filming can take place safely. Diversion routes will be in place to maintain access for residents, and all concerns raised were considered as part of the assessment process.”\n<\/p>\n
\n The production has not been officially confirmed as HBO’s Harry Potter TV series, but residents say the information they have been given matches up with the show. Filming for the show is based at Warner Bros.’ Leavesden Studios site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The middle of Latimer, between Rickmansworth and Chesham, will be closed to traffic from 8am to 6pm Monday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":785217,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[96,2839,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-785216","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-movies","tag-entertainment","tag-movies","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785216","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=785216"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/785216\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/785217"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=785216"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=785216"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=785216"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
