Update: Roadside litter clearing planned
Planned roadworks are in place this week while litter picking is carried out on various routes across the district.
Road users are advised to plan ahead, allow extra time for journeys and follow any diversion signs in place while the work is completed.
Planned schedule:
• Wednesday 15 July: Sedge Green and Hamlet Hill, Roydon – 2-way traffic lights will be in place
• Thursday 16 and Friday 17 July: Crooked Mile, Holyfield Road and Waltham Road, Waltham Abbey – 2-way traffic lights will be in place
These roadworks allow the Terra Verde Services Ltd crews to work safely on routes that are difficult to clear regularly because of how busy and hazardous they can be.
