Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 Hertfordshire County Personal Details: Name: John O'Connor E-mail: Postcode: Organisation Name: Comment text: I agree with the proposals: In Watford, the Commission have proposed 'No Change' and The recommendations from the Commission make roughly equal areas and also respect our local communities.The communities of Abbots Langley, Croxley Green and South Oxhey each keep their own County Councillor under the Commission's proposals. Carpenders Park and Oxhey Hall remain together in a separate Division and not joined to South Oxhey. Chorleywood and the more rural bits of Three Rivers, including Sarratt, Hunton Bridge and Bedmond, are linked in a Division to be named Three Rivers Rural. And the size and importance of Rickmansworth as the main town in the District is shown in the creation of two Divisions centred there.

Map Features: Annotation 1: New eastern boundary for Dacorum Annotation 2: Site for new homes, schools etc. as extension to Comment text: A joint Green Belt boundary review by Dacorum, St Albans and Welwyn/Hatfield has identified land between Hemel and the M1 as suitable for major new development, which is also promoted by the LEP. As this is obviously a natural extension to Hemel, it makes sense to revise the boundary between the two Districts to sit on the M1, from the junction of old M10 northwards until it then runs north-westwards with the line of pylons: this will maintain the valuable green 'gap' between Hemel and St Albans and also between Hemel and Redbourn.

As residents of Loudwater, we would like to register our strong disapproval to Loudwater becoming part of the Croxley County Division. Loudwater has traditionally been part of Chorleywood and should continue to remain so. Please note various points as follows why we should not be joined with Croxley:- 1. Loudwater is part of the parished area of Chorleywood and is therefore represented both at Parish and District Council level as part of Chorleywood. 2. Loudwater should be part of a Rural Division as this would represent the nature of the area and community rather than becoming part of a County Division where issues are not typical of our environment. 3. Many children attend Christ Church CofE Primary School and Clement Danes Secondary School rather than schools in Croxley. 4. Residents would use Chorleywood for shopping and amenities rather than Croxley, and Loudwater has always had a much closer relationship with Chorleywood. 5. Loudwater has never had any relationship with Croxley and indeed the two are very separate areas divided by fields. Please acknowledge receipt. Regards 1 Suresh & Jyotsana Patel 2 Morrison, William From: Fuller, Heather Sent: 15 October 2014 08:46 To: Morrison, William Subject: FW: Local Government Boundary changes Follow Up Flag: Follow up Flag Status: Flagged From: Alay Patel Sent: 14 October 2014 23:16 To: Reviews@ Subject: RE: Local Government Boundary changes Dear Review Officer I understand the Local Government Boundary Commission is reviewing the boundaries prior to the County Council elections in 2017. My existing Division will be reorganised and renamed Three Rivers Rural Division. However the proposal is that Loudwater is removed from this Division and becomes part of the Croxley County Division. I am against this proposal and must register my disapproval on the following grounds. 1. Loudwater is part of the parished area of Chorleywood and is therefore represented both at Parish and District Council level as part of Chorleywood. 2. Loudwater should be part of a Rural Division as this would represent the nature of the community rather than becoming part of a County Division where issues are not typical of our environment. 3. Many children attend Christ Church CofE primary school and Clement Danes Secondary School rather than schools in Croxley. 4. Residents would use Chorleywood for shopping and amenities rather than Croxley. 5. Loudwater has never had any relationship with Croxley and indeed the two are very separate areas divided by fields. I sincerely hope the Commission will reconsider its proposal. Regards Alay Patel 1 Local Boundary Commission for England Consultation Portal Page 1 of 1 Hertfordshire County Personal Details: Name: David Penn Organisation Name: Comment text: With regard to Watford, I must place an objection to the proposed name changes. I say proposed, but the language of the draft document does not seem to suggest that the commission is giving locals any say. The names on the map have already been changed and the relevent paragraph in the draft uses language that confirms that the change has already taken place as far as the commission is concerned (see below). This is unacceptable. '126 We are, however, adopting different names for some of Watford’s divisions, in order to make the division names more reflective of their communities. Callowland Leggatts will be named North Watford, Central Oxhey will be named Central Watford & Oxhey, and Vicarage Holywell will be named West Watford.' My objection is fourfold. The first is that using the new bland names North Watford, Central Watford and South Watford in no way 'reflects the communities'. In particular, the names Callowland Leggatts and Vicarage Holywell are both historic and extremely well known locally. The uniqueness of these names and the areas they represent are understood by those who live in Watford and have much more meaning than the dull alternatives. My second objection is that the double-barrelled names clearly reflect the relationship between council and county boundaries. As it stands, it is clear from the name that the county ward is composed of the two council wards whose names they bear. It makes no sense to break this link so that it is no longer obvious that West Watford is actually the wards Holywell and Vicarage. My third and most vociferous objection is that there has been no drive or request from local people for any change of name whatsoever. That fact alone means that there should not even be a proposal of change if there is no will for it from the local people. In truth, this appears to be a change driven by a centralised bureaucracy who prefer using uninspiring words like North, Central and West because it is easier for them to understand. It might well explain why it has been done already without any consultation. I therefore think it reasonable to expect the names on the new map to be reversed and the wording of the document to be altered to make it clear that the name change is only a proposal as at the moment it gives the clear impression that the document is not a consultation. My last objection is that knowledge of these changes is hard to find. I only became aware of this by accident through the commission's failure to get North and West Watford in the right order (I should point out that there would be no mix up with clearly different names such as Vicarage Holywell / Callowland Leggatts) and a news story appeared in the local newspaper. In summary, a remote commission should not be interfering in local history and renaming local boundaries without an initial and significant request from local people. They certainly should not then adopt the change and only report it by tucking notification of the change away on page 21 of a 46 page document whose existence is unknown by virtually all who live in the town.

It doesn't make sense geographically or on a socio- demographic basis. Why can't Eastbury be left with Moor Park and South Oxhey combine with Carpender's Park and Oxhey Hall?

  • Character of Area Study
    Watford Character of Area Study Adopted December 2011 0B1.0 Introduction The Borough of Watford is a well established urban centre in West Hertfordshire that contains a diverse patchwork of areas reflecting different types of built form. These character areas provide the spatial framework for local neighbourhoods and reflect the multifunctional nature of the town as a location for employment, leisure, study and residential provision. Although these areas provide a network of urban form, rich in “place identity”, they remain at risk of degradation from the pressures of new development. There is therefore a need to identify the Borough’s existing character areas and to provide a reference for guiding contextually responsive development that reinforces local character. 2.0 Urban Conservation Strategy 2.1 The need for a comprehensive study identifying character areas within the Borough was set out in the Council’s Urban Conservation Strategy, as detailed in the Watford District Plan 2000 (adopted 2003). The Urban Conservation Strategy sets out to deliver a package of different documents covering the various heritage assets within the town, including: conservation areas, Statutory Listed Buildings, Locally Listed Buildings and archaeology. The Character of the Area Study provides an overarching resource on urban form for the whole Borough and not just areas or buildings that are designated as heritage assets and referred to in the District Plan and the Urban Conservation Strategy. 2.2 The Watford District Plan 2000 and the related Supplementary Planning Guidance Note 28 (adopted 2003) includes information on Historic Environment Character Zones in Watford. This map based resource provides general information on the historical character zones that exist within the Borough and their archaeological potential.

Croxley Green has many committed and active community groups which support the environment, sport and leisure and the Residents’ Association is a major sponsor of many local initiatives, including the joint community plan which is being written. The community is a cohesive unit for local government and therefore should have representation at county level to reflect local issues.

  • North Hertfordshire Open Space Review & Standards 2016
    North Hertfordshire Open Space Review & Standards 2016 PART 1: OPEN SPACE REVIEW 1 1. Introduction 1.1 Access to high quality open spaces and opportunities for sport and recreation can make an important contribution to the health and well-being of communities; and if well designed and maintained they can make areas attractive places to live, work and visit. 1.2 Planning Policy Guidance Note 17 (PPG17): Planning for Open Space, Sport and Recreation (2002) aimed to improve the quantity and quality of open space, by requiring local authorities to undertake an assessment of needs and opportunities in their area, and to develop a series of local standards by which to improve the overall provision of open space. 1.3 In 2009 an assessment was carried out to assess the provision of open space, sport and recreation facilities in North Hertfordshire, based on PPG17 and its Companion Guide (Assessing Needs and Opportunities). This North Hertfordshire Green Space Standards document examined the existing provision based on different types of open space and set out open space standards, differentiating between urban and rural developments. 1.4 The purpose of this 2016 report is to review open space provision in the District since the open space assessment undertaken in 2009. In doing so, it will provide an updated position on the latest provision of open space, sport and recreation facilities in North Hertfordshire. This work is being done in line with the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) (2012) and Planning Practice Guidance (PPG) (2014), which have replaced PPG17 and its Companion Guide. 1.5 This 2016 update will ensure that the Local Plan is supported by an up-to-date assessment and will form part of the evidence base.

    Diversity and Inclusion Report Hertfordshire County Council 2018/19 Contents Foreword 3 Our commitment to Equality and Diversity 5 Key Achievements in 2018/19 6 Theme 1 - Eliminating Discrimination 7 Theme 2 - Advancing Equality of Opportunity 11 Theme 3 - Fostering Good Relations 16 Going Forward – our strategy and aspirations from 2020 onwards 18 2 Foreword Hertfordshire in 2018/19 is the most diverse it has ever been throughout our history both in terms of our population and staff make-up. Evidence shows that diversity in the workplace is good; it can encourage creativity and innovation, and research shows that an individual is more likely to seek and stay with an employer that practices inclusive policies. A reflective workforce also benefits the residents of Hertfordshire as we can further understand the needs of individuals from different backgrounds through lived experiences. Councillor Ralph Sangster, The last few years have been particularly challenging for local government. We have had to reduce our Executive Member, spending by £315 million since 2010/11 whilst protecting the services that are important to you. The next few Resources and Performance years will also be tough. It is possible that the grant we receive from Government from national taxation will be phased out and increasingly our services will have to be funded solely from council tax, business rates and fees. We also face significant pressures due to the changing nature of our population as many people are living longer and need more care in older age. To meet the challenges requires us to continue at pace to improve the way we work and deliver our services, whilst ensuring that we are listening to our residents in a way that helps prevent, reduce or delay demands on public services while still maximising fairness overall.
