The perennial problem of Ridgmont Road – Network’s Rail’s untidy and easily dismantled closure – is a step closer to being solved.

Chris wrote to Network Rail and they are now talking to Herts Highways about some sort of permanent solution. Whether anything will actually come of this remains to be seen.

Note: this road is anomalous, since the part from the barrier to Grosvenor Road is public highway, while the stretch from the barrier to Victoria Street belongs to Network Rail, who close it unilaterally to save on the cost of potholes.
