Northaw Road East Closed: 23rd July – 27th August

Please be aware that we have received the attached (and below) notice from Hertfordshire County Council regarding the closure of Northaw Road East during the school summer holidays.

There will be a hard closure of Northaw Road East at Cattlegate Road between 23rd July – 27th August while Cadent carry out pipe replacements.

There will be access only allowed from Cuffley to the Playing Field, but there will be no access through to/from Cattlegate Road, or Northaw, except via Vineyards Road.

The works need to happen for public safety and they cannot do the work using traffic lights, as the road is too narrow for the trench required for the works plus the safety distance required for the crew to carry out the work, so the road has to close.
