Happy Thursday and good morning. It’s Connor with you for the final time this week on the traffic and travel desk to help with your commute.
There are a few road closures and temporary lights in place across the district, make sure you check our lists in case you need to leave a few minutes earlier.
Give me a call on 01423 276197 or get in touch on social media if you spot anything on the roads or are waiting for a delayed bus or train.
The morning blogs are brought to you by The HACS Group.
