Busy section of A41 to close overnight tomorrow
Motorists are being warned to expect delays when a near three-mile stretch of the westbound A41 North Western Avenue and part of St Albans Road in Watford will be closed overnight on Monday.
Herts County Council has posted its intention to make an order to temporarily close these major routes in the Public Notice Portal.
This is used to access upcoming and recent information about various restrictions and applications.
The website states the closures will be in place from 8pm Monday to 5am Tuesday and a diversion will be in operation.
Here are four notices we've rounded up which could affect residents across the area.
Herts County Council is intending to make an order to prohibit all vehicles from using the following lengths of road, except for access, and to prohibit waiting on both sides of these roads while the works take place:

A Watford pub has applied for planning permission to install new fencing and awnings.
O'Neills, in Station Road, wants to install a boundary fence to the front terrace, and two retractable free-standing awnings and two retractable wall-mounted awnings to the north west elevation of the building.
Permission is required because it is a listed building.
