Nuisance roadworks again - 2nd time since last report
4th June
Dear Cadent/Council
You have BLOCKED my route to work (Welwyn Gdn City), the A5183 is totally congested, as is Hemel Hempstead. Do you think its funny and are you having a laugh at all the people that your holding up - late for work,schools, appointments. You just don't care a damn do you. There is no point trying to access the m1, as the approaches to J9 and J8 are often congested. You had the whole of half term to do this last week, and chose to wait until the schools are back etc. Please don't give the usual lame excuses, and the council are often cowards and don't reply anymore.. This is totally unacceptable.

Poor path repair.
13th May
The path was dug up by Openreach, or their contractors. The repair is very poor. the tarmac is crumbling and floats after heavy rain. It is not causing a real problem, but the repair should have been done to a proper standard.

Fly tipping
10th May
These mattresses have appeared over night, at Dark Lane garages and if they are not collected quickly people will add to it. There are some picture frames with broken glass on the right that have been there a month. There is a huge growth of weeds on the back wall and the fence is broken. Why don't you put cctv here so you can fine the tippers so they won't do it again.

NUISANCE ROADWORKS (a supposed 'emergency')
7th March
Https://www.stalbansreview.co.uk/news/24985103.emergency-works-cause-delays-b487-redbourn-lane/
If this is really an 'emergency' then WHY is this not being worked on 24/7 to get it fixed. I have to travel from Redbourn to Welwyn Gdn City, and face taking detours using more fuel to complete my journey. At least the HCC on Marford Rd Wheathampstead are doing a good job, and although there are traffic lights, there is never much of a hold up. Cadent just cause mayhem every single time and don't seem to care who is late for work, school or other appointments. I am just sick and tired of 'Broken Britain. I'm sure that I speak for other road users too. Dear Council, or whoever reads this, please lobby those responsible to work 24/7 to get this sorted.
