It’s only our 3rd ride with Spokes and we thoroughly enjoyed it and look forward to many more adventurous outings. ‘On this ride, we most enjoyed how relaxing it was, it was a beautiful sunny day that couldn’t have been enjoyed any better than being outside and being active without knowing it! After the ride we all got to unwind by sitting in the Cha Cha Cha café’s garden and munching our pieces of cake and sipping our drinks. ‘I would highly recommend this less experienced ride to others, as it is a nice gentle way to ease yourself into, or back into, cycling with many existing cyclists there on hand and to give you helpful tips.’ Spokes Less Experienced Cyclists Rides on the First Saturday of the Month - 2011 Report For many years now, Spokes members have been trying to encourage people whose bikes are underused to get back on their bikes with short friendly rides.

  • Carpenders Park and South Oxhey (Again Watch for Details)
    CPSO METHODIST CHURCH NEWSLETTER Lent/Easter 2020 Minister’s Letter – Journey into Lent Our Lent journey begins! We make our way with Jesus towards Jerusalem and the Cross. This year we are exploring that journey and the places en-route through our Lent Group “Places on the Way”. We are stopping off at a village wedding in Cana, climbing new heights at the mount of Transfiguration, finishing up at the Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem as Jesus makes his way to Golgotha. We will be exploring what the journey meant to Jesus and the journey we make this Lent. (See later in the newsletter for details) Following on from the soap cross, this Lent I am asking for you to make pom- poms – brown wool pom-poms of various sizes and shades of brown. Make as many as you can during the six weeks of Lent and then join the team putting the cross together. (More information to follow) Maundy Thursday we are still going to gather for a shared meal and worship in the small hall at Bushey and Oxhey Church but this year it will be a ‘bring & share’ supper (details to follow). Finally, Good Friday, as churches together in Bushey and Oxhey, this year we are trying something slightly different. During Passiontide you will be asked to take some purple ribbons and tie them in prominent places (purple being a symbol of the passion). We will gather outside St. Andrews at 9.30am for a short act of worship before walking (or driving) down to the small park opposite St Peter’s for another short reflection.

  • Abstraction Licence Application Decision Statement Template
    DECISION STATEMENT ABSTRACTION LICENCE APPLICATION Affinity Water Limited Application number: NPS/WR/027731 Licence number: 28/39/28/0480 EA Area: Hertfordshire North London Date of Application: 13 September 2019 Decision Date: 06 July 2021 Applicant details: Affinity Water Limited Tamblin Way Hatfield Hertfordshire AL10 9EZ 1. Summary of the proposal: Affinity Water Limited applied to vary their full abstraction licence 28/39/28/0480, which permits abstraction from the Chalk groundwater aquifer for the purpose of public water supply across nine sites in the Colne Valley, collectively referred to as the ‘Blackford Group’. The application comprised of two distinct components: A. Renewal of a time-limited annual volume (annual aggregate) which permits an increase in the annual abstraction rate across the group from 29,200,000 to 32,120,000 cubic metres. This variation was originally granted in 2003. This component has been renewed up to 31 March 2025 to align with the end of the seventh Asset Management Period (AMP7), during which alternative supply options will be identified if further investigations under the Water Framework Directive (WFD) find that this abstraction is having an adverse impact on the Chalk groundwater body or dependent surface waterbodies. B. Variation [increase] in the peak hourly and daily abstraction rates at West Hyde and Batchworth sites of abstraction, to mitigate a potential reduction in supply from other sites within the Blackford Group as a result of construction works associated with HS2. This proposal forms part of a wider strategy put forward by Affinity, which includes the variation granted to the Watford Group licence 28/39/28/0270 on 21 May 2021.

Hayling Ward is qu te different w th a different community. It is part of South Oxhey and the proposal could result in Oxhey Hall being subsumed into the larger area.

  • Carpenders Park Residents' Association
    Carpenders Park Residents’ Association The Review Officer(Three Rivers) Mrs Bobbie Wilson Local Government Boundary Commission for England Layden House, 76-86 Turnmill Street, London EC1M 5LG Dear Sir 14th Jan. 2013 As the Chair of the Carpenders Park Residents’ Association I am representing the wishes of our Community in regards to the proposal by Three Rivers District Council to alter our Parish Council Boundary. Our residents are against the proposal to divide Carpenders Park in two and thereby amalgamate our estate into wards with which we have no connection. Carpenders Park has a strong separate identity and wish to remain as a united Ward. The estate was built before the Second World War and certainly before either South Oxhey or Oxhey Hall was developed. Carpenders Park has its own school, Church, Community Hall, shops as well as a medical centre, and even the Station is named Carpenders Park. Three Rivers District Council, having agreed to the changing of the boundary for the election of an M.P. for Carpenders Park, appears took the railway line as a demarcation to separate the estate from South Oxhey and thus to change our representation in Parliament to come under the Hertsmere Ward instead of Watford. Now, the District Council wants to change the boundary line this time to a stream that passes through part of our estate. This makes no sense to our residents as the railway line has always been recognised as the boundary in the past. Our Residents’ Assoc. began over 70yrs.ago showing an extremely committed sense of our own identity in Carpenders Park and we wish to remain as one Ward.
