The charity, which provides services to hundreds of children, young people, and adults with learning disabilities, will move into the site in Langley Road later this year, once refurbishment works have been completed. The Nascot Lawn building has been empty ever since the respite centre closed, despite a campaign from parents to save it, which went all the way to the High Court. But two years on, Watford Mencap has announced the building will be brought back into use, providing daily support for service users and specialist activity space.

Following a burst water main on Saturday morning, which flooded local roads and left households without water, Rickmansworth Road remains shut due to ongoing repairs. The closure is at the junction with Rosslyn Road and means there is no access westwards out of the town, without diverting via the ring road. Since the road and underpass was closed, Beechen Grove has been at a standstill from the town hall roundabout to the traffic lights near Clarendon Road, with delays worsening this morning with schools back.
