Road closures are among the key public notices in Stevenage and North Hertfordshire that are set to affect residents.

The public notice portal is used to access all of the upcoming and recent information about restrictions and notices.

Here are a few notices which could impact residents in Stevenage, Hitchin, and the surrounding villages in the coming months.
