Stocks Road, Aldbury Road Repairs scheduled

Hertfordshire County Council are making an Road Traffic Order to allow their contractor Ringway to carry out road works for the purpose of repairing repair the highway in Stocks Road, Aldbury.

This Order will prohibit all traffic from using Stocks Road, Aldbury from its junction with Station Road north eastwards and north westwards to a point in line with the access to 'The Walled Garden' sometime during the period 5 August 2013 and 5 February 2014, when signs are in place. This is a distance of approximately 1236 metres.

In addition all vehicles are prohibited from waiting at any time on both sides of this length of road whilst works are in progress.

The section of road will be closed and the temporary waiting restrictions will be in place for approximately 7 days. An alternative signed route will be provided for traffic whilst the road closure is in place - but of course it will be long way round!

If you have any queries about the highway maintenance works, the temporary road closure or the temporary waiting restrictions, please contact Vicky Leggett at Hertfordshire Highways on 0300 123 4047.

The picture does not show equipment actually used by Ringway, HCC's new contractor, but it is a metaphor for the slowness of HCC's response to highway repairs.
