The closure of a major city centre road is still provoking controversy months after it was enforced to promote social distancing measures.
Seven huge metal cube planters have been plonked into the road right outside exclusive boutique, The Dressing Room.
As well as there being a question about the unsightliness of the massive square constructions, they, along with street traders, are blocking access and impacting owner Deryane Tadd s business.
Deryane said: I have approached Herts County Council about the road closures on numerous occasions. However the issue of access remains. We have had various deliveries returned to our suppliers due to couriers not being able to navigate the restrictions in place. It is just making everything more difficult at a time when things are difficult enough.
