Highways

Cadent appears to be finished – and in their place we seem to have a rolling programme from Affinity over the next couple of months, but not as disruptive. 

Details of road works

Open Spaces

The Council agreed to commission the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust to produce a pond management plan to form the basis of future maintenance activity. It also agreed a proposal to clear approximately 5m of the undergrowth on the Conservation Green (that part of the Green to the west of Hempstead Lane – the Martins Pond side) where it has encroached over recent years although this won’t take place until September to avoid any possibility of disturbing nesting birds. 

The new village sign has now been delivered and installed.

i. 26/01178/FHA – Orchard Cottage, Frithsden Lane, HP4 1NW – Construction of a singular row of ground mounted solar panels at the base of the rear bank behind the main dwelling.
