  • Update from Stop Bengeo Quarry
    SBQ June 2019 Update Leaflet_Final 07/06/2019 09:42 Page 1 UPDATE FROM STOP BENGEO QUARRY Bengeo Quarry stopped – thank you! On 4 April 2019 the Secretary of State confirmed that he agreed with the Planning Inspector’s recommendations and refused planning permission to quarry in Bengeo Field. Thanks to the help and support of the local community and the case put forward by the Stop Bengeo Quarry Group, the field can retain its natural landform and continue to be used as an amenity for generations to come. Your contributions to our campaign, whether through posters in windows, letters of objection, donations, or supporting us on Facebook made a real difference. Many of the points put by the Stop Bengeo Quarry group such as the need to protect our water supply, the uniqueness of the landform of Bengeo Field and its value to the local community as a piece of unspoiled agricultural land, were recognised by the inspector and mentioned in the report. With your support, we were able to bring in expert witnesses on air and water pollution. The lead taken by SBQ on the issue of pollution was a crucial factor in stopping the quarry. The main grounds for refusal were: the impact on landscape, hydrology, the impact on living conditions and amenity, and loss of agricultural land. We have stopped both the 1.75 and 1.25 million tonnes scheme! Thanks a million for your help. What next? The Rickneys quarry extension application (with the potential backdoor access to Bengeo Field) is currently on hold. We are clarifying with the HCC planning officers when this application will be considered by the Hertfordshire County Council Development Control Committee.

  • Winter 2014 -15
    Winter 2014 -15 Welcome to the Winter edition of the Newsletter. We have a new programme for 2015, so get out your diaries to make sure you don’t miss any of the events, especially those which need to be booked ahead of time. This year we have a guided walk around Hertford with an historical theme as well as our usual summer outing and party and our programme of lectures, so there will be something for everyone. Remember that guests are welcome at our lectures for a small charge, so if you have friends who might like to join the Society, they can come and try out the experience. Planning issues are very much to the fore as the District Plan continues its progress. The future of Hertford town centre is still far from clear and bus services are facing further cuts. All these matters are reported in detail in this newsletter. If the Society is to be influential on these issues, we need to show that we represent a substantial body of opinion. You can help by checking that your membership and subscription details are up to date and by taking part in any consultations we may hold by email. Please see details on p4 and p12. On a more cheerful note, the sculpture commemorating Alfred Russel Wallace is now in place, adding to the visual quality of the town (reported on p8). The official unveiling was accompanied by music from the Richard Hale School Band (see right), which helped to attract the crowds. We wish all our readers a very happy and prosperous New Year.
