I contacted the EHDC monitoring officer, James Ellis, who says: “I have been in discussions with the other Hertfordshire Monitoring Officers, including NHDC, about the possibility of us all looking to adopt the new model code of conduct, however I will need to take this to East Herts Council’s Audit & Governance Committee first in order to get a steer from members. If East Herts members are against it then I cannot implement it here, however once I have further information I will of course be sure to update parish and town clerks on whether we will be asking them to consider adopting the same.” I am attending a briefing on the new Code of Conduct on Thursday 11th February. Notice Board Staines Green The A3 landscape board has been erected in Staines Green. The old post is loose, and the board needs re-siting. Work to be done in parallel with No Parking signs. Councillor Vacancy No enquiries. Birch Green Hedges Work schedule dependent on weather and ground conditions. Greens Working Party De-registration Sent follow up email to HCC asking for a status. Still awaiting invoice and validation. No Parking Signs Awaiting members’ reports on recommended locations for No Parking signs. Greens Safety Inspection Report received from Cllr Blake (Birch Green). Awaiting reports for Cole Green, Staines Green, East End Green, Letty Green Oak Tree at Cole Green A request has been received from Barry Wade-Simkins that an oak tree, on parish council land at Cole Green, be removed. The tree (T1 on the 2019 survey) is growing near to a main sewer. The tree is within the Cole Green TPO area. I have tried to contact Thames Water for advice, but it has proved very difficult to speak to anyone who has authority to advise on the legal status of working on a tree adjacent to a sewer. There is a risk that any disturbance could cause damage. I believe the responsibility for the sewer is with the drainage authority and not the parish council, and this would include damage from the tree. 191 HIGH STREET ∙ CODICOTE HERTFORDSHIRE ∙ SG4 8UD TEL: 07956381764 ∙ EMAIL: [email protected] CLERK TO THE COUNCIL: TOM BRINDLEY ∙ CHAIRMAN: PAUL ROCHFORD HERTINGFORDBURY PARISH COUNCIL Old Coach Road Hedges I wrote again to Michael Charlton (Tarmac). Promise of action. Grass Cutting and Greens Maintenance “Walk the Greens” scheduled late February for new contractor (Richard Dawes) and his key operatives. New contract commences 1st April 2021. Road Signs Presentation sent to HCC for comment and costing. Ken Crofton has found some correspondence between Barry Simkins and Martin Neville (Highways Project Engineer) dated 19th January 2019 regarding this. I will be contacting Martin over the next few days. I had a brief chat with a colleague from the HCC bridges section, they will be undertaking the design on these two bridges for the amendments to the signs at the bridges and the approach signs, plus St Marys Lane. It is intended that the advance signs are carried out at the same time. A review of the signs and sign plates will be undertaken in advance to see if it is viable to incorporate the metric and imperial height measurements under one sign plate. Unfortunately, I do not have a definitive timescale for these works, but needless to say it will be in the next financial year. I believe and perhaps you can confirm this, that Hertingfordbury Parish Council will be financing this particular element of the works (sign layouts as previously shown on the previous e-mail sent across earlier today). The exact costs have as yet to be determined and will depend upon the makeup of the signs. I cannot be more specific at this moment in time, but I will be in contact again once a more definitive time scale is known plus the exact makeup of the signs. The other signage as shown on the plan ‘unsuitable for HGV’s will be as shown on the plan. If you want to call to go through anything prior to your meeting please do so. regards Martin Nevill Clerk Vacancy A job advert has been placed with HAPTC and is on the council website. Contacted Little Berkhamsted clerk to see if she wanted to take on an additional role and she has asked for more information.

    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.

  • Notes and Memoranda on Some Hertfordshire Churches at the Beginning of This Century. Mr
    29 Notes and Memoranda on some Hertfordshire Churches at the beginning of this Century. BY H. R. WILTON HALL. Mr. Cussans twenty years ago wrote:— "At Essendon Place is preserved a large collection of local sketches, the value of which it would be difficult to over estimate. They were made about the year 1797, by a schoolmaster of Tewin, named Pridmore, and are bound in nine thick volumes. The collection consists of coloured views of nearly all the Gentlemen's Seats in the 30 S. ALBAXS AND HEliTs ARCHITECTURAL AXD ARCHvKOLOGlC AL SOCIETY County; all the Churches, and principal monuments within them, together with objects of antiquarian interest, such as old stained glass, windows, rood screens, fonts, etc. One volume is devoted to the Coats of Arms of Hertfordshire families. These volumes bear witness to the fearful destruction of ancient monuments which has taken place during the last eighty years. Modern restorers have as much to answer for as the popularly abused soldiers of Cromwell, destroyers as they were. It seems incredible that scores of Churches in this County, which now possess as much Archaeological interest as the waiting-room of a railway station, should less than a century ago have been rich in brasses, stained glass, and exquisite carvings in wood and stone : yet such is the case."* In the year 1884, Baron Dimsdale allowed the Rev. Dr. Griffith to have copies taken from the collection, relating to his Parish of Sandridge. It was my good fortune to try my hand at making these copies for Dr. Griffith, and I thus had an opportunity of examining this Collection of Views to which Mr.

  • The Impact of Agricultural Depression and Land
    THE IMPACT OF AGRICULTURAL DEPRESSION AND LAND OWNERSHIP CHANGE ON THE COUNTY OF HERTFORDSHIRE, c.1870-1914 Julie Patricia Moore Submitted to the University of Hertfordshire in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of PhD September 2010 2 ABSTRACT The focus of this research has been on how the county of Hertfordshire negotiated the economic, social and political changes of the late nineteenth century. A rural county sitting within just twenty miles of the nation’s capital, Hertfordshire experienced agricultural depression and a falling rural population, whilst at the same time seeing the arrival of growing numbers of wealthy, professional people whose economic focus was on London but who sought their own little patch of the rural experience. The question of just what constituted that rural experience was played out in the local newspapers and these give a valuable insight into how the farmers of the county sought to establish their own claim to be at the heart of the rural, in the face of an alternative interpretation which was grounded in urban assumptions of the social value of the countryside as the stable heart of the nation. The widening of the franchise, increased levels of food imports and fears over the depopulation of the villages reduced the influence of farmers in directing the debate over the future of the countryside. This study is unusual in that it builds a comprehensive picture of how agricultural depression was experienced in one farming community, before considering how farmers’ attempts to claim ownership of the ‘special’ place of the rural were unsuccessful economically, socially and politically.

  • Settlement Appraisal East of Welwyn Garden City
    Settlement Appraisal East of Welwyn Garden City 1. History 1.1 The Supporting Document to the Preferred Options District Plan records the various assessment stages that were undertaken to inform the Preferred Options Draft of the District Plan. It therefore provides an essential background to this current Settlement Appraisal. Chapter 4 of the Supporting Document explains the process of shortlisting or ‘sieving’ options or ‘Areas of Search’. Chapter 5 considers two further appraisal stages based on urban form and economic development. 1.2 Chapter 6 considered issues such as the Duty-to-Co-operate, whether there are any designated wildlife assets in the area, education capacity at primary and secondary level and the deliverability of the site as a potential development. The chapter also discussed matters of mineral resource, the need to avoid sterilisation and the potential impact this would have on the deliverability of the site and its potential future phasing within the overall development strategy. The chapter then set out the conclusions for the land to the East of Welwyn Garden City in terms of whether it would form part of the emerging District Plan. 1.3 It was determined that given the complexities of the site’s cross-boundary nature, the likely need for mineral extraction and subsequent land remediation, the site would need to be comprehensively masterplanned. This detailed masterplanning would be best dealt with through the preparation of a Development Plan Document (DPD) following the adoption of the District Plan. The DPD approach would set out the Council’s intention to deliver development at the location during the latter part of the Plan period, but would enable further work to be undertaken to define Green Belt boundaries, infrastructure requirements and delivery, and to enable a more collaborative approach to cross-boundary working.
