Harper Lane fully reopened to drivers on Tuesday after many months of frustration from drivers and businesses. The junction near Radlett should have reopened in February at the latest, but a blunder during the construction phase meant not enough turning space had been given to lorry drivers, which was putting pedestrians at risk. Hertfordshire County Council and housing developer Bloor Homes have since worked together to resolve the issue, which involved removing a traffic island that was making it difficult for large vehicles to turn right out of Harper Lane and into Watling Street.

Local Elections 2021
The Green Party s Cllr Simon Grover outlines its policies for the 2021 Hertfordshire County Council elections SIXTY-TWO Green Party members are standing for county council elections in Hertfordshire on May 6, in a bid to gain a voice at the county council. In some areas of the county – including Dacorum, East Herts, Hertsmere, St Albans and Three Rivers – there are Green Party candidates standing in every single county council division. Currently there isn’t a single Green Party councillor on Hertfordshire County Council. But Cllr Simon Grover – who has been the only Green Party member of St Albans District Council since 2011 – says electing even just one or two Green Party members to a council can make a difference.
St Albans District Council offices Two tenants have been forced to hand back keys to the council following an investigation by anti-fraud officers. Measures to counter fraud have resulted in the recovery of two homes owned by St Albans District Council. One tenant was discovered to have sublet their property to another person while living elsewhere which the council says was a blatant breach of the tenancy agreement. Another tenant exercised their right to buy their home for a substantial discount on the market rate. However, checks indicated this tenant had left the property some time ago and had moved to another address without informing the council. This invalidated their right-to-buy claim.
