Newton Way in Sandy is due to close on November 13 between 8am and 6pm to allow carriageway patching works to be carried out.

In Dunton, Cambridge Road, between Lee Close and Kings Pond Close, is scheduled to close from October 26 to 30 for resurfacing and road-lining works. The closure will operate around the clock, with a diversion via High Street, Eyeworth Road, the B1042, Sutton Road and Biggleswade Road.

Motorists using the A1 will also need to be aware of a proposed temporary speed restriction linked to the major Black Cat to Caxton Gibbet road improvement scheme.

National Highways intends to vary an existing traffic order to introduce a 30mph speed limit on the northbound and southbound A1 between Sandy Roundabout and Tempsford Junction overbridge.

The restriction is proposed to come into force on November 15, 2026, and will apply 24 hours a day where required for construction and associated works. Traffic signs will indicate when and where the restriction applies.

The wider road improvement project includes construction of a three-tier junction and a new dual carriageway between the A1 Black Cat Roundabout and Caxton Gibbet Roundabout.

Public notices also reveal that Curry House Sandy, 144 London Road, has applied to Central Bedfordshire Council for a premises licence to permit the sale of alcohol for consumption both on and off the premises, as well as indoor recorded music.
