Residents may be aware that Central Beds Council has been considering introducing no stopping at the school entrance and no waiting at any time on part of Hurst Grove. At its meeting on 26th May the Traffic Management Committee decide to defer any changes to allow further consultation to take place. We have no further information at this stage, but will update as we receive updates.

ANOTHER ROAD CLOSURE
Hot on the heels of the closure of the top end of High St comes another for August at the other end by Church St. The good news is that we should see some benefit from this one as it's for road surface patching. This is proposed for 13th August from 0800 to 1800. Details below.
