Nettleden with Potten End Parish Council
Potten End bus shelters
The parish council provides and maintains the bus shelters on and opposite Potten End Village Green. The one opposite the green is on land owned by the Village Hall and leased to the parish. The 25 year lease is due to expire next year and at its meeting on 20th October the parish council agreed (Minute 7.2) to instruct its solicitors to draw up a new lease and to pay an increased annual rent.
Hertfordshire Way improvement
Volunteer members of the Chiltern Society’s Hertfordshire Conservation Group have made two visits to Potten End in the last fortnight in order to improve the Hertfordshire Way between The Common and Nettleden Road. The footpath has been widened through the clearance of encroaching vegetation and a large patch of Himalayan balsam near the golf course has been uprooted (to try to stop it growing again).

HGV survey in Nettleden
On 26th and 29th September volunteers from our parish and from Little Gaddesden took part in a survey to count the number of HGVs passing through parts of our parishes. This was in order to obtain some base numbers ready for comparison with those to be counted next year once the bridge at Water End is closed to HGVs (after the opening of the Dunstable Northern Bypass – M1/A5 link). The results can be found here.
Visit from our county councillor
David Lloyd visited our parish in his capacity as our county councillor in order to discuss a number of largely transport related issues. The parish council is currently especially concerned about the impact of the proposed ban on HGVs over Water End bridge, progress with the installation of the ‘smiley face’ speed indicators, both the barrier and flooding outside Martins Pond and about parking arrangements on and around Potten End village green. The adoption of the footpath in School Gardens was also discussed. Councillor Lloyd will attend the 17th November parish council meeting, which will be an opportunity for parishioners to raise any concerns they have about these and other matters.
