REPORTING FLY TIPPING

LITTER AND FLY TIPPING Litter and ßy-tipping is environmental vandalism Ð itÕs unpleasant, unnecessary and unacceptable. Financial pressure on Welwyn HatÞeld Borough Council has resulted in the free green waste service to be changed to a subscription service. This may mean that some people will dump their waste illegally. Nationally ßy-tipping is on the rise again, with the number of incidents up for the third year in a row. Councils across England reported 936,090 cases of ßy-tipping in 2015/2016, up 4% on the previous year. Clearing up the ßy-tipped rubbish cost councils £49.8m. £50,000 and / or a prison sentence together with new powers to issue £400 on the spot Þxed penalty notices and 98% of ßy-tipping prosecutions resulting in a conviction are a clear warning to anyone involved in waste crime. FIGHT ILLEGAL WASTE DUMPING If you witness ßy tipping call 999 giving as much detail as possible - Do not put yourself at risk by approaching the ßy-tippers. If you discover ßy-tipped waste - call WelHat Council on 01707 357000 or report it on www.welhat.gov.uk/reportit or use the website FixMyStreet.com who will forward your complain to the correct department. If you pay someone to remove your waste they must be able to show their Waste CarrierÕs Licence. Take the number and ask where the waste will go. Only use a registered company.

As you probably all know by now the application for the Metropolis site has been rejected by Welwyn & HatÞeld BC. Of course, its good news not just because of the Þnal decision but the planning report was highly critical of the technical merits of the application which will stand us in good stead should the developer wish to appeal. At the time of writing there is no indication that an appeal will be forthcoming but the applicant has 6 months from the date of decision to lodge one - this takes us to the beginning of July, so a few months to go yet. The planning meeting was well attended by many residents who witnessed, on the whole, a good standard of representation from committee members and other council officials. On the plus side a couple of councillors were very vocal in their opposition to the proposal and did a good job of appreciating and articulating the concerns of residents. On the negative side, there was a highways expert from Herts CC who claimed that (if the development was to go ahead) the introduction of a large roundabout at the entrance to the estate would improve traffic flow through Cuffley. We think he was the only person in the room who believed this. Apparently the computer model they use to simulate the effect of traffic growth and flows determined that a new roundabout in Northaw Road East will ease traffic congestion in the village and help to absorb growth. Maybe we have the reason why roads in Hertfordshire are getting worse...... We would also like to thank Cllr. Bernard Sarson who spoke on our behalf and has, since he was first elected to be our councillor given us as much support as possible. We will continue to need this support as the focus now turns to the Local Plan which promises to bring as much and potentially vastly more development to Cuffley than the Metropolis site would have. Having said that, the Local Plan is not a done deal and what we saw at the Planning meeting suggests that there is a small contingent of councillors who understand our concerns and are willing to give us the support we need. This together with your active involvement, the efforts of the Northaw & Cuffley Residents Association and Parish Council suggest we do have more than a fighting chance to adopt a plan that will contribute to the councils housing targets without overwhelming the infrastructure in our village. The whole Metropolis process has demonstrated that residents are fair, reasonable and proactive but when you try and take advantage of this then don’t expect an easy ride. Long may that continue!! We will update you on the Local Plan as soon as we know something but since the end of last year its gone very quiet. Maybe it’s the calm before the storm or a period of reflection but one things for sure - the fight is far from over…….
