East Hertfordshire Council Election Results 1973-2011 East Hertfordshire Council Election Results 1973-2011 Colin Rallings and Michael Thrasher The Elections Centre Plymouth University The information contained in this report has been obtained from a number of sources. Election results from the immediate post-reorganisation period were painstakingly collected by Alan Willis largely, although not exclusively, from local newspaper reports. From the mid- 1980s onwards the results have been obtained from each local authority by the Elections Centre. The data are stored in a database designed by Lawrence Ware and maintained by Brian Cheal and others at Plymouth University. Despite our best efforts some information remains elusive whilst we accept that some errors are likely to remain. Notice of any mistakes should be sent to [email protected]. The results sequence can be kept up to date by purchasing copies of the annual Local Elections Handbook, details of which can be obtained by contacting the email address above. Front cover: the graph shows the distribution of percentage vote shares over the period covered by the results. The lines reflect the colours traditionally used by the three main parties. The grey line is the share obtained by Independent candidates while the purple line groups together the vote shares for all other parties. Rear cover: the top graph shows the percentage share of council seats for the main parties as well as those won by Independents and other parties. The lines take account of any by- election changes (but not those resulting from elected councillors switching party allegiance) as well as the transfers of seats during the main round of local election. The lower graph shows for each main round of local elections the overall percentage turnout (solid line), the percentage of women candidates standing at (dotted line) and the percentage of women among those elected (hashed line).

  • Update from Stop Bengeo Quarry
    SBQ June 2019 Update Leaflet_Final 07/06/2019 09:42 Page 1 UPDATE FROM STOP BENGEO QUARRY Bengeo Quarry stopped – thank you! On 4 April 2019 the Secretary of State confirmed that he agreed with the Planning Inspector’s recommendations and refused planning permission to quarry in Bengeo Field. Thanks to the help and support of the local community and the case put forward by the Stop Bengeo Quarry Group, the field can retain its natural landform and continue to be used as an amenity for generations to come. Your contributions to our campaign, whether through posters in windows, letters of objection, donations, or supporting us on Facebook made a real difference. Many of the points put by the Stop Bengeo Quarry group such as the need to protect our water supply, the uniqueness of the landform of Bengeo Field and its value to the local community as a piece of unspoiled agricultural land, were recognised by the inspector and mentioned in the report. With your support, we were able to bring in expert witnesses on air and water pollution. The lead taken by SBQ on the issue of pollution was a crucial factor in stopping the quarry. The main grounds for refusal were: the impact on landscape, hydrology, the impact on living conditions and amenity, and loss of agricultural land. We have stopped both the 1.75 and 1.25 million tonnes scheme! Thanks a million for your help. What next? The Rickneys quarry extension application (with the potential backdoor access to Bengeo Field) is currently on hold. We are clarifying with the HCC planning officers when this application will be considered by the Hertfordshire County Council Development Control Committee.

  • WHBC Birchall Garden Suburb Hearing Statement
    Examination of the Welwyn Hatfield Local Plan Council’s Statement for the Stage 7 Hearing on Tuesday 10 th March 2020 SP19: Birchall Garden Suburb Matter 1 – Historic Heritage and Urban Design 1 Matter 1 – Historic Heritage and Urban Design Heritage Assets There are a number of historic heritage assets, close to the site, some of which are of national significance. In preparing Local Plans the NPPF requires Local Planning Authorities to recognize that heritage assets are an irreplaceable resource that should be conserved in a manner appropriate to their significance. The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 also requires them to have special regard to the desirability of preserving the setting of listed buildings. Question 1: Other than the Montages produced by David Jarvis Associates on behalf of Tarmac (EX37), is there any other evidence (such as a Heritage Impact Assessment) that has been considered the sensitivity of development to the nearby Heritage Assets within Welwyn/Hatfield? Council Response: a. Yes, in addition to the photomontages produced by David Jarvis Associates on behalf of Tarmac (EX37), there is also the Panshanger Park and Environs Heritage Impact Assessment (July 2016) (Welwyn Hatfield ref: HIS3) produced by Beacon Planning on behalf of Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council and East Herts District Council. b. The Memorandum of Understanding (September 2017) (EX15) between Historic England (HE) and Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council (WHBC) provides a summary of engagement between Historic England and WHBC, including the process of identifying a requirement for, and commissioning an independent study defining the significance of Panshanger Park and its environs and assessing the sensitivity of the surrounding area for development.

  • Winter 2014 -15
    Winter 2014 -15 Welcome to the Winter edition of the Newsletter. We have a new programme for 2015, so get out your diaries to make sure you don’t miss any of the events, especially those which need to be booked ahead of time. This year we have a guided walk around Hertford with an historical theme as well as our usual summer outing and party and our programme of lectures, so there will be something for everyone. Remember that guests are welcome at our lectures for a small charge, so if you have friends who might like to join the Society, they can come and try out the experience. Planning issues are very much to the fore as the District Plan continues its progress. The future of Hertford town centre is still far from clear and bus services are facing further cuts. All these matters are reported in detail in this newsletter. If the Society is to be influential on these issues, we need to show that we represent a substantial body of opinion. You can help by checking that your membership and subscription details are up to date and by taking part in any consultations we may hold by email. Please see details on p4 and p12. On a more cheerful note, the sculpture commemorating Alfred Russel Wallace is now in place, adding to the visual quality of the town (reported on p8). The official unveiling was accompanied by music from the Richard Hale School Band (see right), which helped to attract the crowds. We wish all our readers a very happy and prosperous New Year.
