Some of Watford’s busiest roads are among the latest planned road closures in the Watford area.

Herts County Council has used the Public Notice Portal to publish its intention to make an order to prohibit vehicles from using sections of Dalton Way, Waterfields Way and Lower High Street.

The portal is used to access upcoming and recent information about various restrictions and applications.

The latest public notices also include an application for a premises licence for a new pizza restaurant which, if granted, will allow it to remain open until 2am from Monday to Saturday.

All temporary road closure orders and other restrictions are valid for up to 18 months from the date they come into force, but restrictions will 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 the Watford area.
