A key road in Baldock town centre is closed into next week with repair works being carried out.

A 24-hour closure of Hitchin Street began yesterday (October 9) and is expected to be in place until Wednesday, October 16, but emergency access is still possible and the footpath remains open.

Work described as "repair and maintenance works" is being carried out by Anglian Water.

A diversion through Baldock has been put in place while the road is closed.
