A Kings Langley road is set to close for 5 weeks, with residents warned to expect delays.

Gas company Cadent will be carrying out works that will close Toms Road at the junction of Primrose Hill from September 30 until November 8.

A letter to residents seen by the Watford Observer, reads: "Here at Cadent, we look after the pipes that bring gas to your home or business.

"As part of our ongoing commitment to upgrading the gas network in your area, we're replacing the pipes to future proof your gas network and invest in a greener future.

"This is government-mandated work directed by the Health and Safety Executive, so you and your neighbours can continue to receive a safe and reliable gas supply well into the future.

"To ensure our teams can work safely while they carry out this essential work to upgrade the gas pipes on Primrose Hill, we will need to implement a temporary road closure on Toms Lane at the junction of Primrose Hill.

"This means that the route will be closed to traffic, but access to your home will be maintained via the advertised diversion routes.

"Access to your property may be limited during this time, but our team will do their best to keep this to a minimum.

"We will be starting our work on Monday, September 30, and this should last for approximately five weeks."
