The Crow has been running our Make the A505 Safer campaign since 2018. - Credit: Archant Part of the A505 is to close for a set period each day for 10 days as Herts County Council carries out some long-awaited safety improvements. The works at the Slip End turning for Ashwell mean the area will be closed from 8pm to 5am on January 20 to 30, with some lane closures during the day. The works have been much anticipated by road users and by the Crow - as our campaign to Make the A505 Safer continues. On Saturday, two collisions took place near Baldock. In the first incident a car overturned, trapping a woman inside.
