Greenspace Action Plans (GAPs) GAPs are map based management plans and are invaluable documents that give focus and direction to the running and improvement of all types of open space. They provide a clear, logical process to determine the activities that should take place on a site, over a stated period of time, in order to meet agreed project objectives and core aspirations. ii. Public engagement Public engagement and consulting with stakeholders is at the centre of effective management planning on any site. An initial engagement period was held for the Cole Green Way in September and October 2017, to compile the aspirations of stakeholders for the site. A second stage of engagement completed in February and March 2018 enabled stakeholders to comment on the proposed management actions for the site. Comments have been collated and published online with this management plan at www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/cms. iii.

This will be achieved through the following objectives: To improve and maintain the Cole Green Way, as a core component of Hertfordshire’s strategic non-motorised transport network. To increase use of the Cole Green Way for both active travel and recreation. To ensure financial sustainability of all management operations on site. To protect and enhance the natural environment and heritage of the Cole Green Way. To ensure that users of the Cole Green Way feel safe and welcome at all times. To develop and maintain an informed, involved and enthusiastic local community. The Greenspace Action Plan (GAP) for the Cole Green Way sets out the management, maintenance and development framework for the site over five years. It will focus on the section of the Cole Green Way between Hertford and the A414 which is owned by Hertfordshire County Council, and will also provide recommendations for the management of the remainder of the route. The GAP is reviewed annually in conjunction with any relevant bodies, so that any outstanding tasks can be rescheduled as necessary.

  • Polling Places by Ward
    Essential Reference Paper B Polling Places by Ward East Herts Council (Acting) Returning Officer Explanatory Notes: Electorate totals as at 1 December 2018 Predicted electorate from Planning based on the District Plan site allocations with or without planning permission – homes to be built by 2023/4 prior to the next Polling Place Review. Polling Scheme by Wards Ward: Bishop’s Stortford – All Saints PD Ref Polling Place Name/Address Current Electorate Predicted house building CD All Saints JMI School, Parsonage Lane, 2,910 Bishop’s Stortford CM23 5BE – Move to Parsonage Community Centre (CC) CE All Saints Vestry, Stanstead Road, 848 Bishop’s Stortford CM23 2DY CF Thorn Grove Primary School, Thorn 2,238 Grove, Bishop’s Stortford CM23 5LD Total 5,996 50 Proposed Changes: CD - Proposal is to send voters to nearby polling place of the Parsonage Community Centre (polling District CC) – large hall who can accommodate these additional voters plus sufficient parking places. The Parsonage already has CC electors’ one side of the hall and CD would be on the other side – this would be a double polling station due to the electorate size and being a different ward. The proposal will be trialled at the local elections in May 2019 and further feedback will be taken in to account from the electorate, polling staff, visiting officers and candidates on the day. Comments: CF will always be a double polling station due to its electorate size. We have explored alternative polling provision in the area such as at the hospital but continued use at the school is recommended.

  • Hill End Station
    History Trail Point 9 – Hill End Station In 1862 the Hatfield and St Albans Railway Company was formed. In 1865 a link was constructed from the London Road terminus to Abbey Station. There were halts at Sanders (the orchid growers), Hill End, Smallford, Nast Hyde and on to Hatfield. Hill End station was opened on 1st May 1899 to serve the Hertfordshire County Asylum with passengers being set down, on request to the guard. A siding ran south across Hill End Lane, between the houses into the hospital grounds for delivering coal, stores and sometimes patients. The line was poorly used with passenger demand destroyed by the new Midland main line railway to St Albans (City) and was closed to passengers in 1951 and freight traffic in 1964. Mr Truwert recalls how, in the 1950s,” some of the patients from Cell Barnes hospital worked at the nearby station” (Herts Memories/Lost Rails/The Alban Way) Hill End Station 1959 (Courtesy M. Covey-Crump) The station buildings consisted of a wooden parcels office, waiting room and timber office and an iron gents Hill End Halt with footway over tracks between the Hospital and Marconi’s electrical engineering works at loo. Long Acres – late 1950’s. Hospital Pumping Station is the large building in right background. (Source unknown) “Many people will remember Hill End Railway Station which was situated quite near to the hospital, consisting of a single track line operating between St Albans and Hatfield, by which lots of goods were brought to the hospital until the station closed sometime after the war.

The proposals constitute inappropriate development within the Metropolitan Green Belt and are therefore, by definition, harmful to it. Other harm would also result from a loss of openness to the surrounding area; an adverse impact on the character and appearance of the area; the isolated and unsustainable location of the site and the adverse impact upon protected trees.
