At present some areas of the town allow drivers to park for one hour, while others have a maximum limit of two hours.

Meanwhile, long-awaited repairs to Buntingford High Street are set to take place this month.

Mayor of Buntingford, Cllr John Noades, told the meeting that he had been informed by Hertfordshire ­Highways that the repairs would begin in the next few weeks.
