Council News

The Planning Committee meeting on 24 January at 7.30pm at the Radlett Centre has been cancelled due to lack of quorum. Apologies for any inconvenience this may cause.

With great sadness, Aldenham Parish Council announces the loss of our long-standing employee, Open Spaces Team Member – Garry Hall who passed away on Boxing Day after a long-term battle with illness’. He worked for APC for over forty years and will always be remembered travelling around in the council tractor cutting the grass on the open spaces wearing the woolly hat come rain or shine.

His memory shall live forever.

In this interview in May 2020 for Around Radlett he reflected on his time working for the council, including all the changes, funny moments and other memories. To read the full interview please visit https://aldenham-pc.gov.uk/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/Garry-Hall-APC-August-Newsletter-2020.pdf

Dear Mr Dowden, 
We are writing to you to express Aldenham Parish Council’s grave concerns about the draft Hertsmere Local Plan and the effect the Plan would have on Hertsmere, and in particular the part of Hertsmere which the Parish Council represents, were it to be adopted. 

We appreciate the importance of having an up-to-date plan and the risks of not doing so. We also understand the complexities involved in preparing the draft Plan, the work undertaken by officers and Borough Councillors, and the requirements imposed on the Borough Council by Government targets and planning policy.

However, we strongly oppose key elements of the draft Plan, in particular the excessive number of new homes proposed, and the allocation of huge amounts of Green Belt land for housing and the consequential impact on the borough and wider afield.

The coronavirus pandemic continues to impact daily life across the county.

In response, Hertfordshire’s Community Reassurance Cell, on behalf of the Local Resilience Forum, has launched a new survey to better understand the needs, challenges and aspirations of all Hertfordshire communities.

The online survey asks respondents a series of questions to collect views about the impact of coronavirus on their lives, what support is needed and how that has changed since the start of the pandemic. The survey results will be used to shape the county’s ongoing recovery plans, ensuring support is targeted where it is needed most.

Please do share your views and experiences by taking part in this short survey. Individuals aged 16 years and above living in Hertfordshire, as well as representatives of community groups or other local organisations based in Hertfordshire are invited to take part. It should take around 10 minutes to complete.

Your assistance in further promoting this survey through your networks would also be appreciated.

Please see the link to the survey here: www.opinionresearch.co.uk/Herts_Covid19_CIA_2021_22

This survey is open until Friday, 21 January 2022.
