The Hertfordshire County Council has issued several public notices detailing upcoming temporary road closures and restrictions across the county, effective from March 2025. These measures are being implemented under the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984 to facilitate essential works, including utility service installations and maintenance.

Specific to our three villages is the following…
B180 Hunsdon Road, Stanstead Abbotts Closure: Starting 17th March, this closure facilitates necessary works over a 90m stretch with a designated detour in place.

(Temporary Closing Of B180 Hunsdon Road, Stanstead Abbotts) Order 2025
NOTICE is given that Hertfordshire County Council intends to make an Order under Section 14(1) of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984, to prohibit all vehicular traffic from using that length of B180 Hunsdon Road, Stanstead Abbotts from its junction with B181 Roydon Road north eastwards and a distance of approximately 90m (“the Road”), except for access.

An alternative route will be via B181 (Roydon Road/High Street/Station Road), A1170 (Pepper Hill/Amwell Hill/London Road/Viaduct Road), B1004 (Bridge Foot/Star Street/Widbury Hill/Ware Road) and B180 (Hunsdon Road/ Widford Road/High Street/Stanstead Road/Hunsdon Road).

However, the restrictions specified shall only take effect at the times indicated by signs on or near the Road.
