Bengeo Roads Closed
In theory a lot of the residential roads in Bengeo both sides on Bengeo Street are closed tomorrow and Thursday, they have started putting cones out to stop people parking.........will be interesting to see what happens, there are a number of residents in our road with perfectly good driveways but still always park on the road...we will see.
Don't suppose it will make any difference to those who taravel from Bengeo Street to the area of Hertford North satation in the morning!

We've got our road to come.. I wonder if they'll do what they did last time and patch some of the holes and then leave totally the really, really big ones ???? Lets see....

Will those who use their cars to commute still park overnight, expecting to have departed by the morning before the re-surfacing starts? [This appears reasonable to me].
Will there be any wardens around to maximise ticket revenue overnight for the council should the above happen? [This may appear reasonable to the local mandarins responsible for ticket revenue].

Do you mean that the roads will literally be closed? How will be able get to their houses/work? Exactly which roads are affected?

The cars I was meaning are there all day, they don't commute.
The large machine arrived at 8AM am now off to see if I can get the car out as I have a delivery to make.
Hopefully they will allow residents some access!!

Out and back Ok, I think they are patching today............the letter said we will have it again Thursday and Friday next week.
Interesting though The Avenue says it is closed today but those wishing to access the road to the station still seemed to use it or I saw at least 5 cars turn right into Cross Road just after 9 (they are not supposed to bet 7.30 and 9.30) amd that was just in the few seconds I was travelling along Bengeo Street so nothing stops them!

THey let the rubbish lorry to into the Avenue today, I got stuck behind it, but it went in the opposite direction.. so I think if you live in the road you can, at points, access your home, but really keeping cars just cutting through out.. As the contractors know the Ave is used as a cut-through if they didn't totally close it down they'd never get the work done! I am hopeful that after work I can glide back home and then exit before they start day 2.. we shall see!

I think you are Ok today DQ they are only patching.
next week could be more of a problem our letter said next Thursday and Friday as well, if they bring a resurfacing lorry we could all get stuck.
Hope not I need to get out to do a wedding on Friday!
