Where new parking restrictions are planned in and around Watford
New parking restrictions, including double yellow lines, are set to be introduced in several locations in and around Watford.
Watford Borough Council has published details of the planned restrictions in the Public Notice Portal.
This is used to access upcoming and recent information about various restrictions and applications.
The portal has also been used by Herts County Council to give details of the latest planned road closures for roadworks.
All temporary closures are valid for up to 18 months from the date they take effect, but the restrictions only apply at times shown on signs at or near the relevant locations.
Here are five notices we've rounded up which could affect residents in and around Watford:
