MEMBERS INFORMATION NOTE

North Hertfordshire Local Plan Examination Update

The latest consultation on the new Local Plan for the District closed in June 2021. Members of the public and other interested parties were invited to comment upon the latest proposed changes to the Plan and a number of supporting documents. The consultation followed the further hearing public sessions held by the Inspector between November 2020 and February 2021.

The Council received approximately 670 responses to the consultation. These contained approximately 1,500 distinct representations on the documents and detailed proposed changes that were consulted upon.

The Inspector has now given the go-ahead for the responses to be made public. The independent Programme Officer, who helps administer the Examination, has asked for the website to be updated so that people know that the representations are available to view and to add the following text:

The Inspector will be reading and considering all the representations that have been submitted. As things stand, and depending on the points raised in the representations, it is his intention to issue his Final report to the Council in early Autumn.

The latest information on the Local Plan is available to view on the Council website www.north- herts.gov.uk/localplan.

PRESS RELEASE

PR 3568 23 July 2021

NHDC Councillors share the Love Parks Week message!

Councillors from North Herts District Council (NHDC) have teamed up with volunteers from Letchworth’s Friends of Norton Common (FoNC) to celebrate the launch of Love Parks Week 2021.

Councillors and FoNC volunteers rolled up their sleeves and worked together to cut back brambles alongside the wildflower meadow on Norton Common Local Nature Reserve. They also helped to dig out dead tree roots – all part of essential ongoing habitat management work to care for the site.

Councillor Elizabeth Dennis-Harburg, Leader of the Council, Councillor Steve Jarvis – NHDC Executive Member - Environment, and Letchworth Ward Members Councillor Daniel Allen, Councillor Amy Allen and Councillor Sean Prendergast, became honorary FoNC members for the day, helping to highlight different ways we can look after and love our local parks and green spaces.

Love Parks Week (23 July – 1 August) is a national campaign run by Keep Britain Tidy, encouraging people across the UK to enjoy their local parks, and to take good care of these precious areas for both people and wildlife to enjoy.

Unfortunately, parks and nature reserves across North Herts have seen a huge increase in littering in recent years. Since 2014, the volume of litter removed from parks in the district has increased by 128%. The issue of littering has reached a peak since the start of the pandemic, which has encouraged more people to use local parks but in turn, increased the amount of litter being dropped in parks and nature reserves.

John Baskerville, Secretary of the FoNC committee said: “It is great to have some of our Councillors joining us at one of our conservation working parties. Norton Common is at the heart of our local community, and our Friends of Norton Common group is made up of local volunteers who regularly give their time to help care for the park. We find it very rewarding and urge everyone to get involved in caring for their local parks to help ensure the future of local green spaces for future generations to come.”

Cllr Steve Jarvis, NHDC Executive Member – Environment said: “Parks and nature reserves are there for everyone to enjoy, but we all need to be responsible when visiting them, by either putting litter in a bin or by taking it home. Volunteering some time to help care for them is a great way to help keep our parks and natures reserves in good condition. What a great experience we all had today, really getting hands-on helping to look after the Common. Thank you to FoNC for giving us the opportunity to volunteer with them”.
