Sewage Leak

Thames Water are currently working to fix a leak in the field close to the Lower Luton Road. This requires tankers to access the sewage pumping station at the end of Meads Lane. They have had significant problems turning into and out of East Lane by the Bull, causing major traffic congestion. Therefore they now have access via Brocket View. Please note the barrier remains closed to general traffic and also be mindful of parking along Brocket View over the next few weeks.

The leak will be fixed as soon as possible but at this time we do not know how long that will be.
