I have no idea what these are doing either. They were there on Thursday and Friday with no sign of life.

Chris White and Sandy Walkington were surprised to find signs that Lemsford Road was about to be repaired at last – but of course it was just vehicles lying idle.

Meanwhile Lemsford Road has been voted in as one of the four roads of shame in St Albans Central Division by local residents who responded to our highways survey. The full list is:

Lemsford Road
Hatfield Road at the railway bridge
Victoria Street at the railway bridge
Woodstock Road South

Clearly there are many, many others which give cause for concern – but these struck you as the worst.
