On 26 July 1985 we wrote to Bedfordshire County Council announcing our intention to undertake a review of the County under section 48{1) of the Local Government Act 1972. Copies of the letter were sent to the principal local authorities, and parishes, in Bedfordshire and in the surrounding counties of Buckinghamshire, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire and Northamptonshire; to the National and County Associations of Local Councils; to the Members of Parliament with constituency interests and to the headquarters of the main political parties. In addition, copies were sent to those government departments, regional health authorities, water authorities, and electricity and gas boards which might have an interest, as well as to British Telecom, the English Tourist Board, the local government press and to local television and radio stations serving the area. 2. The County Councils were requested, in co-operation as necessary with the other local authorities, to assist us in publicising the start of the review by inserting a notice for two successive weeks in local newspapers so as to give a wide coverage in the areas concerned.

  • Tree-Strategy-Introduction.Pdf
    February 2015 A Tree Strategy for Huntingdonshire Introduction 2 Introduction A TREE STRATEGY FOR HUNTINGDONSHIRE Introduction Foreword by Councillor Douglas Dew Executive Councillor for Strategic Planning & Housing: Huntingdonshire has a varied historic landscape of 350 square miles, with 4 market towns and nearly 100 villages, all within an expanse of attractive, open countryside, farmland, and woodland. Trees play an important role in the rural and urban landscapes of Huntingdonshire, improving the quality of life in many ways. They make a great contribution to our rural and urban areas, adding great beauty and character and creating a sense of place. They enhance and complement the built environment by providing screening, focal points, privacy and perspective. Those in parks and gardens bring nature into the hearts of our towns. Streets planted with trees look better, and they also provide valuable wildlife corridors, connecting open spaces. Trees are the largest and oldest living things in the environment. Trees and woodlands are dominant landscape features, and collectively they form one of Huntingdonshire’s finest features. We need to protect our trees and care for them properly. We also need to make sure we plant new trees to replace those that we have to remove, or which have reached the end of their normal lives, so that future generations can derive the same enjoyment and benefits from trees that we do. This strategy sets out how the Council will do this over the coming years. We aim to have more and better trees than we have at the moment, in an attractive environment which will help make Huntingdonshire a better place in which to live, work, study and spend leisure time.
