West Hyde Victory. A group of us from West Hyde and Maple Cross have just returned from County Hall. We went to speak out against the Pynesfield gravel extraction planning application and to try and persuade HCC to refuse it .We spoke out against the destruction of the green belt, the environmental damage, flooding and increase in HGVs. We succeeded - only one member of the HCC voted in favour. Hurrah!………………………………………………….. The Annual Rickmansworth Festival end was fantastic. Congratulations and thanks to all those involved. It was splendid to see so many people/ families enjoying themselves. Well Done!
