  • Hertford Town Council Annual Report 2014/15
    ANNUAL REPORT 2014/15 Review of Civic Year 2014/15 It has been an honour and a privilege to serve as Mayor of Hertford for 2014/2015. As always it has been a busy year with a number of highlights. I have had the wonderful opportunity to experience some of Hertford’s finest cultural institutions at their best: Hertford Dramatic & Operatic Society’s performances and running of Hertford Theatre Week, Hertford Symphony Orchestra’s diverse programme throughout the year, Hertford Choral concerts, wonderful displays of art from Hertford Art Society and Courtyard Arts, the second Hertford Book Festival. Hertford Museum has provided a wonderful mixture of events and exhibitions from Open Night at the Museum to Wallace Exhibitions touring the country. Cllr Miss Chantal Geall Mayor of Hertford 2014 /2015 This year has also been a year of firsts in Hertford. We have seen the first Hertford Passion Play performed at St Andrews Church. We’ve also seen the start of a new weekly event in Hertford: the Panshanger Park Run. The run which is volunteer led, celebrated its 100th event in May with 272 runners doing the 5k run through the park, with lots of children taking part and a few dogs! Another first is that Hertford Football Club formed a Ladies Football team which won their league in their first season. The club has also formed a new U21 team. We were honoured to welcome the Royal Anglian Regiment to exercise their freedom of our town in July 2014. The troops marching through the streets of Hertford provided a great spectacle and they were warmly welcomed by residents before being entertained in the Hertford Castle grounds with a wonderful marquee provided by Fergus McMullen our High Sheriff for the year.

  • Hertford Castle Grounds Draft Greenspace Action Plan (Extract)
    APPENDIX 2 Hertford Castle Grounds Draft Greenspace Action Plan (Extract) Ashley Webb Shelter This garden pavilion was erected in 1938 to commemorate the Coronation of King George VI and Queen Elizabeth and bears the name of a local family. It was constructed in an era when anti-social behaviour was not such as issue and would have provided a pleasant focal point for local residents to gather in view of the river. It now unfortunately provides a shelter for less savoury activities. Despite regular cleaning and the location of nearby toilets, it often smells of urine. The police have worked over the years to relocate various groups who drink alcohol within its confines. Anecdotal records suggest that i n the 1950’s and 1960’s the building was in good condition with oak seating either side of the central entrance arch and oak benches along the walls on the inside. The window frames were in oak with leaded glazing. Either side of the pavilion were brick pillars supporting an extensive oak pergola planted with climbing and rambling roses. Part of the flooring is in ‘Yorkstone’ with heavy ‘Marley’ type tiles in the area where the benches were fixed to the walls. It is evident from this and the relatively unscathed condition of the brickwork that the building was of a high quality for the times during which it was constructed. Current Situation The shelter is currently in a poor state of repair. One of the external support piers of the southern part of the trellis had recently been demolished which had resulted in some instability for the remainder of the trellis on the south side.
