Notice of vacancy

Due to the resignation of Cllr Daniel Nygate there is a vacancy for a councillor on Aldenham Parish Council. The attached notice details the procedure to follow if there is to be a formal election. If there is not a call for an election the council will be able to co-opt any persons who show interest.

Land on Shenley Hill Saved!

Aldenham Parish Council is very pleased to announce that the appeal case by the developer has been dismissed by the Inspector, who said that ‘Green Belt policy seeks to preserve such countryside just as much as land within it that is not surrounded by settlements or built-up areas. If it did not there would be an inevitable incremental nibbling away of Green Belt fringes, which would cumulatively diminish its openness and permanence.’ The Inspector recognised how the developer’s argument of it being just one field with little impact is false, and that by allowing ‘smaller’ developments the Green Belt is eroded away. Aldenham Parish Council would like to thank all those that wrote in with their objections, supported the appeal and spoke in person at the inquiry, especially the representatives from Save Radlett, the Radlett Society & Green Belt Association, Shenley Parish Council and Letchmore Village Trust who helped coordinate the volunteers.

The villages that make up Aldenham are distinct and unique, surrounded by beautiful countryside that it is our honour to freely enjoy, and our responsibility to protect and safeguard for the future. I hope that this judgement shows how committed we all are to this duty.

Allotment Track

Borras Construction on behalf of Aldenham Parish Council (APC) will be carrying out the following works to the track leading to the allotments from Gills Hill Lane.

  • Remove the existing track surface.
  • Re-instate the track at a lower height with a MOT Type 1 surface.
  • Relocate the entrance gate from its current position to nearer the car park.

This work will commence on Monday 8 January 2024 and the aim to be finished by mid-March 2024.

During this time there will be

  • no vehicular access to the allotments
  • the footpath from Elm Walk to the allotment track and Phillimore Rec will be closed
  • The gate to the side of Radlett Bowls Club land and the gap between the fence on the track near the allotment gate will also be closed.

Access can still be gained to Phillimore Rec by using footpath 47 and using the gate near the children’s play area.

APC apologises for any inconvenience caused during this time.
