Hertfordshire County Council Rights of Way Service Hertfordshire County Council Rights of Way Service Rosalinde Emrys-Roberts, Head of the Definitive Map team in Herts County Council’s Rights of Way department reports on progress over the past 12 months. Urban alleyways—rights, records and 2026 At the recent Ramblers meeting I gave a presentation about how the Ramblers can help ensure that urban alleyways, green lanes and white roads are not lost if the cut-off date proposed in the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 is implemented. Now that the Deregulation Act has been made following royal assent on 26 March 2015 work will now begin on the necessary regulations. These will include provisions which will aim to ensure that routes such as urban alleyways which are currently in regular use are not lost inadvertently. However, if a route is not recorded on the Definitive Map and Statement, nor is it shown in the List of Streets then it is more likely to be lost if there is no evidence that it is being used. If you wish to help, you can check whether the routes you use are recorded on either the Definitive Map and Statement, or the List of Streets. Details of how to do this were given in my article for Stile (June 2014). You would then need to mark on a map any which are missing. Please put your name on the map also. The map could then be sent to your Footpath Secretaries to collate for each parish before sending on to the County Council. However, be prepared—you may be asked to collect evidence (such as from users) to support the routes you put forward Definitive Map 2015 The Definitive Map Team is currently working towards producing the next edition of the Definitive Map, ‘DM2015’, in December. Work is going on in the background to make sure that the Definitive Statements have been correctly transferred into the new database, and any changes to rights of way on the map are correctly shown. It will be published in January 2016. Definitive Map (DM) changes since October 2014 The following routes have been added or existing rights of way changed. I have listed these by district and described the status of the route and its location using a Philips Street Atlas—Hertfordshire A-Z. The routes listed should now be open and signposted for use. Please contact us if you find anything that needs to be reported. Dacorum A new footpath has been recorded leading westwards from New Road north of Berkhamsted to join the footpath running northwards from Berkhamsted Castle. East Herts The southern end of a footpath which joins Frogmore Hill near Sacombe Corner Wood has been diverted a little further to the west of Pumping Station cottages. A bridleway east of Latchford has been diverted to run parallel with the disused railway line. A new footpath has been recorded leading eastwards from Bryan Road, Bishop’s Stortford. The line of the footpath south of Hixham Hall near Patmore Heath, Albury has been diverted within the field to run near the stream rather than the wood. A footpath has been recorded in Little Hormead linking two footpaths south west of the church. North Herts A footpath has been recorded in Baldock leading northwards from Chilvers Bank to join a bridleway known as Back Lane. A bridleway has been diverted around a property in Barkway at its western end by its junction with Royston Road and The Joint. A footpath running to the south of Mincinbury, Shaftenhoe End has been diverted further south around the property. The footpath running south from the High Street, Hinxworth still connects with the High Street, but has been diverted to around the edge of the garden. The footpath south of Bury Farm, Nuthampstead has had a minor diversion around the property, hardly changing its junction with Bury End Road. St Albans A footpath has been recorded linking Heath Farm Lane, Bernards Heath to The Limes in St Albans. Footpaths have been recorded running around and through Ambrose Wood, Ambrose Lane, Harpenden. Stevenage Five footpaths have been recorded in Roebuck Wood, Stevenage east of the B197 near the football club. Three Rivers A new footpath has been recorded leading southwards from Gade View Gardens, Abbotts Langley to Hazelwood Lane, and two old disconnected lengths of footpath removed as part of the development. Bridleways and a footpath have been recorded at Long Valley Wood (Croxley Village Green) with a bridleway now running south along All Saints Lane and east to Harvey Road, and another across the village green to Mill Lane, as well as adding a footpath from the last bridleway to join Frankland Road. Watford The old line of the footpath diverted in 1964 between Leveret Close and the North Orbital Road has been removed from the map. Welwyn Hatfield The connection of Green Lane (a BOAT) to Wildhill Road by Grubbs Lane at Woodside south of Hatfield Park has been defined and recorded. .

  • 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.

  • 5 Wetlands Habitat Action Plan

Unconstrained rivers spill onto habitats. Within Hertfordshire alone this includes floodplains and inundate habitats on a regular basis, rivers, streams, springs, water-cress beds, ponds, allowing the development of wet grassland, marsh, lakes, reservoirs, sewage works, marshes, fens, swamp, fen and carr woodland. These natural swamps, wet grassland and carr woodland. These functions of river systems bring huge benefits to wetlands are hugely important for both wildlife human society. and people. Many of the wetlands of Hertfordshire, especially open waters, have been created by human However, few rivers have not been physically altered activity. In fact, all wetlands within the county have by human activities. Engineering works with the aim of been influenced by human activities to some degree. reducing problem flooding or improving land drainage In many cases this is due to the range of benefits they can also have serious adverse environmental effects, have provided. Over the centuries wetlands have leading to degradation both of the main channel and supplied food, drinking water, power, transport and adjacent habitats. Such works tend to hydrologically leisure opportunities as well as their natural purifying isolate the river from its floodplain habitats. Rivers and flow regulating functions. relatively unaffected by these activities are a particularly valuable wildlife resource. All wetlands are characterised by the presence of water; static or flowing.

  • Heathland & Acid Grassland
    A Biodiversity Action Plan for Hertfordshire 6 HEATHLAND AND ACID GRASSLAND 6.1 HEATHLAND HABITATS 6.1.1 Summary Heathlands and acid grasslands and their associated habitats contain a specialised group of plants and animals, often found in no other habitats. These species include heathers, gorses, sedges and bog mosses, and most of the British reptile and amphibian species. Where heathlands occur they are very popular, as demonstrated in the recent (Jan 1996) English Nature report "Attitude survey of the value of heathlands". They are much valued as beautiful "wild" places full of wildlife and as attractive landscapes, particularly in the autumn when the heather is in flower. Heathlands, as remnant common land and often in the ownership of public authorities or conservation organisations are also greatly valued as accessible open spaces, where informal recreational activities such as walking may be carried out in peace and tranquillity. This action plan considers heathlands and acidic grasslands together, as they invariably occur on the same soils and often as intimate mixtures on the same site. In Hertfordshire, acidic grassland is generally more significant. 6.1.2 Lowland Heathland and Acid Grassland Ecology Lowland heathlands and acid grasslands are largely semi-natural habitats produced as a result of centuries of human influence. Most of the areas where lowland heathland has developed were covered by the wildwood 6000 years ago. The early clearances by Neolithic farmers were largely concentrated on drier soils. However, in many places, particularly where the underlying deposits were sands and gravels, these clearances resulted in the leaching of nutrients and acidification of the former forest soils.
