Night roadworks will start in Elstree in the new year.

As part of ongoing works to replace old water pipes, Three Valleys Water will carry out works in Barnet Lane from January 5 to 16, and Stirling Corner from January 19 to February 16.

Tadas Buivydas, project manager, said: “Due to the high traffic demands in this area each day, the work will be done overnight between 9pm and 5am and every effort will be made to keep noise to a minimum.

“Overnight traffic management will also be in place while we are working, but this will be cleared by 5am each morning. I would like to thank people in advance for their co-operation.

“We understand work of this nature does cause disruption but the end result will enable us to continue to deliver fresh tap water to our customers for many years to come.”

All households and businesses affected will receive a Three Valleys Water information pack in the post. Details of where work is taking place can be found at 3valleys.co.uk.
