Delays are likely for St Albans residents next week, with a major road set to close for works.

London Road will be closed 24/7 from September 17 to 21, with Hertfordshire County Council warning that delays are likely during the closure.

Cadent, the gas company carrying out the works, say that they are "essential".

Suggested Reading:

A message to residents on the council's website reads: "Cadent are carrying out essential works in the road to either connect customers to our network, disconnect properties from our network or alter the position of the service pipe to customers properties."

Emergency access will be maintained at all times.
