Bankfield Lane close to the junction of Blundell lane will be closed from Monday 27 June for approximately nine weeks.

According to United Utilities there has been a delay in the constriction of new sewer pipes that connect into the storage tank, due to the ground conditions. Neighbors on Verulam Road and Merlewood Avenue have been blighted by serve flooding in recent years.
