Our new solar-powered Speed Indicator Device (SID) has just been installed on Hempstead Lane.  A mount has also been installed on Water Lane Road and the SID will be moved between the two locations from time to time.  The parish council is grateful to David Lloyd (our Hertfordshire County Councillor) and Terry Douris (our Dacorum Borough Councillor) for their support of its efforts to reduce the speed of vehicles passing through our parish.

The Parish Council is pleased to announce the recent co-option of two new Councillors.  Cllr Simon Nelson was co-opted in September and Cllr Geoff Brown was co-opted in October.  Their details will appear on this website in due course.

Each year the Parish Council’s Annual Governance and Accountability Return (AGAR) needs to be reviewed by an external auditor. The unaudited AGAR has been published with this notice – please note that until the external audit has been completed it is subject to change.

Ten flowering cherry trees, six Prunus serrulta kanzan (pink) and four Prunus shirotae (white) were planted in alternating pairs along the path running through the burial ground as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy initiative to commemorate Her Majesty’s Platinum Anniversary. The trees were funded predominantly by contributions from the families of those buried in the burial ground together wit contributions from Holy Trinity Church, Potten End , Hertfordshire County Council and the Parish Council. Further details regarding the Burial Ground are available here.
