Road closures and parking changes for Luton motorists to watch out for

From September 17 Luton Borough Council will introduce changes to parking and waiting restrictions.

No Waiting at Any Time restrictions will be introduced on Abbots Wood Road, Cherry Tree Close, Hart Lane, Kenneth Road and Tower Way.

On Hitchin Road, some existing restrictions will be replaced by limited waiting parking bays – which will operate from 8am to 6pm Monday to Saturday – while an existing limited waiting bay will be replaced with a loading bay with a maximum stay of 30 minutes with no return within an hour.
