Lands Improvement Holdings to Close Lord Street for High Leigh Garden Village Development

HODDESDON, U.K. - Dec. 6, 2018 - PRLog -- Recently it has come to light that Lord Street is to be used for the development of High Leigh Garden Village, this has come as a shock to many residents and businesses in Hoddesdon.

Many people were assured that Lord Street would not be used in relation to the development, however it is now going to be used for the utilities and may be fully or partially closed for many months. Lands Improvement Holdings have indicated that they require the road to be closed for the installation of utilities.

The use of Lord Street is pivotal to access Hoddesdon town centre and the A10, closing Lord Street for significant periods of time will lead to disruption and inconvenience for many people in this area.


The suggested diversion is via Mangrove Road, which is a narrow country road that is often found to be in poor condition. Mangrove road can be icy and dangerous in the winter months, it is also prone to flooding in places.

We would request that Lands Improvement Holdings do not close Lord Street and instead honour what was originally agreed. It is hoped that Broxbourne Borough Council and Hertfordshire County Council will not allow this to happen and instead find creative solutions to this issue.
