Planning Win for West Hyde and Maple Cross. On Tuesday this week a busload of local residents went from West Hyde and Maple Cross to attend the Herts County Council Planning meeting where the Pynesfield Gravel Extraction planning application was being decided. Three Rivers had already debated it twice and unanimously called on HCC to refuse it. Four residents, including ward councillor Ann Shaw, addressed the County Councillors and we are delighted to report that HCC did in fact refuse the application. This development would have caused horrific damage to the local Green Belt, created appalling traffic problems, exacerbated the flooding risks and caused disturbance, danger and disruption locally.
Norman Lamb MP, Liberal Democrat Minister of State at the Department of Health writing in LibDem Voice:
Brook Street is a main through route for north and south travelling vehicles. In addition it is a signposted route for both Icknield Way Industrial Estate and Ivinghoe to the east. The speed limit between Tring High Street and Icknield Way is 30mph with many side roads providing access to residential areas and community facilities. However speed management is needed due to the vehicle speeds recorded.
Planning applications for the two new stations, viaduct and electricity substation for the Croxley Rail Link are being submitted this month.
We have been warned that there is a heightened risk of flooding in the Tring Rural Area (Wilstone, Astrope and Long Marston) . This is being managed by the Hertfordshire County Council Resilience Team.
Reflecting on the year’s International Women’s Day theme of “accelerate action”, I am sadly reminded of how much more we still need to achieve.
The UK needs to strengthen both our Armed Forces and our soft power.
