Morris (Hoddesdon Youth Centre) and Mr. P. Worth (Mill Lane Residents Association). Councillor Paul Seeby took the chair for the meeting. 2. MINUTES OF MEETING HELD ON 27th SEPTEMBER 2012 - agreed. In response to a question about the planning application for a drug rehabilitation centre in Hugill House, Swanfield Road, Waltham Cross, the Chairman advised that the applicant had appealed against the decision of Broxbourne Council to refuse the application and this matter was now with the Planning Inspectorate. 3. LOCAL POLICING Chief Inspector Dave Newsome advised that all crime in the Borough in 2012/13 had reduced by 18% compared with the previous year, which was above the County average. Vehicle crime fell 25%) and robbery fell 42%, but residential burglary was up 7%. This was mainly in the south of the Borough and being committed by cross border criminals, principally in the late afternoon/early evenings. Anti-social behaviour fell by 18%, whilst criminal damage fell by 4%. He indicated that the local priorities for the next 3 months are: o Residential burglary o Anti-social behaviour o Motor vehicle crime o Increased attendance at crimes - emphasis on victim based crimes He also outlined various recent operations in the area to target specific crimes and outlined some of the challenges for the Police over the coming months.

The Commissioner had visited Waltham Cross on his first day in office. The Police precept in 2013/14 would remain unchanged, but the following year will require difficult decisions about levels of resources.

The Forum invited a representative of the Police Commissioner to attend future meetings of the Forum. 5. LOCAL COMMUNITY SAFETY PRIORITIES 2013/14 Mike Walker briefly outlined the key findings from the annual strategic assessment of community safety issues and the challenges facing the Community Safety Partnership over the coming year.

It has an area of some 20 square miles and a population of around 96,500. The towns of Hoddesdon, Cheshunt and Waltham Cross, lie along the north-south corridor in a near continuous urban area. To the west are Hammond Street and Goff’s Oak. The rest of the Borough is mostly rural with large areas of wooded green belt countryside. There are good road and rail links into London, and Stansted Airport, with many residents commuting to work on a daily basis. The geography and demographics of the Borough present many challenges when it comes to setting a parking policy, and attempting to balance the often competing requirements of different groups of stakeholders, including residents, businesses, commuters, visitors, schools and blue badge holders.

  • Goffs Oak a New Village Hall Public Consultation on the Future of the Hall and the Surrounding Area
    Goffs Oak A new village hall Public consultation on the future of the hall and the surrounding area Please reply by Thursday 18 March 2021 www.broxbourne.gov.uk/consultations 1 Have your say About this consultation A number of developments in and around Goffs Oak are reaching an advanced stage in the planning process, or already have planning permission, and one (north of Cuffley Hill) has already largely been completed. These new develop- ments will contribute towards funding for projects to benefit the local area, as well as providing new open spaces for local people to enjoy. This document sets out some ideas as to projects that could be funded out of developer contributions including: • Demolition and rebuilding of the existing village hall to provide a better equipped, modern facility providing for a wider range of uses • Provision of an all-weather surface for the children’s play area • New public realm around the new hall, including seating and outdoor spaces, public art or facilities for different groups The Council would like feedback from local residents and businesses as to the above suggestions, and any other ideas as to where the funds could best be spent. The Council will draw together the best ideas into an improvement plan for the village, which will then be subject to further consultation. How to respond A separate response form is available to download at www.broxbourne.gov.uk/consultations. Please fill this in and return it to [email protected]. Please reply by Thursday 18 March 2021. At present the Council is unable to accept responses by post due to Covid-19 restrictions.
