Council News

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.

To date we have completed our site cabin set up, installed most of the below ground drainage, prepared / cast the reinforced concrete slab and started the timber frame.

A pathway has been dug out, allowing access from the toilets / tennis courts. Unfortunately a tree has had to be removed as it was blocking the way, but following a recent tree report, it was recorded that the tree was in ill health. We will of course be replacing the tree, in line with our tree replacement plan, locating it in a different area.

🚨Aldenham Parish Council has been made aware that the Hertsmere Conservatives have placed a link on various social media sites encouraging residents to register for the APC hosted meeting on 21st May 2024 etc.

Aldenham Parish Council disassociates itself from this post. As it has always stated this is a meeting for its residents to hear information, discuss and to let Aldenham Parish Council know their views which will be considered when Aldenham Parish Council discusses the draft local plan at the Full Council meeting on the 28th May.🚨
