APC is delighted to have received the news that the judge has dismissed the Judicial Review request made by Fairfax Acquisition Ltd to build on land to the south of Shenley Hill – yet again the Green Belt is protected.
Please note in the week commencing 5th August 2024, the access road from Gills Hill to the depot/café may be narrowed, but still passable, as a new electricity power line needs to be installed.
In the week commencing 12th August, LifeBuild will be tarmacking the top of the trench, and the road will be very narrow.
In the week commencing 19th August, UKPN will be connecting the line installed by LifeBuild to the main network. This work will be on the junction of Gills Hill and the access track only.
APC apologises for any inconvenience these works may cause.
Following the trees inspected by our arborculturist for 2024, in Phillimore Recreation Ground, Fir Spring Wood, Allotments & Apiary, APC require the works to be done by a Contractor.
If you would like to be considered for tender please email Sarah Heighton adminos@aldenham-pc.gov.uk for further information. The tender is open until Friday 30th August 2024.
Phillimore Recreation Ground awarded the coveted Green Flag Award as it is officially recognised as one of the country’s best parks
Phillimore Recreation Ground raises prestigious Green Flag Award after achieving international quality mark for parks and green spaces
Today, Aldenham Parish Council is celebrating after receiving a Green Flag Award for Phillimore Recreation Ground, for the fourth consecutive year.
The news that Phillimore Recreation Ground has achieved the accreditation – the international quality mark for parks and green spaces – is testament to the hard work and dedication of the team that care for the green space so that visitors and residents alike can enjoy it.
Keep Britain Tidy’s Green Flag Award Scheme Manager, Paul Todd MBE, said: “I would like to congratulate everyone involved at Phillimore Recreation Ground on achieving a Green Flag Award.
“Phillimore Recreation Ground is a vital green space for communities in Radlett to socialise, enjoy nature, for children to play safely and it provides important opportunities for park users to improve their physical and mental health.
We know that staff work tirelessly to ensure that it maintains the high standards of the Green Flag Award, everyone involved should feel extremely proud of their achievement.
It is important that our free to use spaces are maintained to the Green Flag Award standard, making them accessible for all members of the community while ensuring the environment is protected.”
Aldenham Parish Council (APC) were deeply saddened to hear of the passing of John Apthorp this week and would like to send heartfelt condolences to his family at this sad time.
Over very many years John Apthorp has supported the local community in a very generous way, both in his personal capacity and through his family charities. In particular, John has been a great supporter of the Radlett Centre and, through his generosity, the centre was able to install new seating, updated lighting and technical equipment.
John also steadfastly supported APC through the years, giving generous donations to help us provide free public celebrations, such as for the late Queen’s Jubilee and the King’s Coronation. He asked for no acknowledgement, simply wanting to help make his community happy.
In recognition of this support, APC awarded John Apthorp the Freedom of the Parish Award in 2017, the first person to receive the highest honour that can be bestowed on a local citizen.
The loss of such a man is immense but he will be remembered for his kindness, integrity, and tireless efforts to make a difference.
