Following on from the pond clearance carried out in May, two further days of work have been carried out on 4th and 5th August.  The main reason is to try to reduce the amount of crassula helmsii (known as swamp stonecrop or New Zealand pigmyweed).  The parish council puts a high priority on maintaining Potten End village pond as it is one of the parish’s most picturesque features.

The parish council has funded a new notice board and it has been placed next to Potten End village shop window.  Parishioners are welcome to use it to promote community activities.  Don’t forget that this website has a diary of events page that can also be used for this.

The parish council is increasingly concerned about the level of dog fouling in the parish.  It has been particularly bad on Potten End Old Green recently and new signs have been placed in an attempt to discourage it.  Dog owners are reminded that bagged dog excrement can be placed in any litter bit – not only in dedicated dog litter bins.  Please do all you can to keep our parish clean and healthy – especially in areas in which children play.

There are plans to ban HGVs going through Water End on the A4146, and to re-classify the road as a B road. The intention is for all HGVs to use the new A5/M1 link, when it opens. The parish council, however, has major concerns about the potential for HGVs to use Little Gaddesden and Nettleden as an alternative route.

Hertfordshire County Council is running a consultation between now and 2^nd October and it is vital to have as many voices as possible warning of dramatic problems unless it also bans HGVs through Little Gaddesden and Nettleden.

You can help by responding to the consultation process and/or by participating in a before and after traffic survey on 26th and 29th September.
