TRACKS update 42 The Aldenham Parish Council annual meeting takes place at the Radlett Centre on Wednesday, 16 May, at 8.00. One agenda item will be a presentation by Cllr Paul Morris, chair of the HBC consultative group that in late 2017 looked into the possibilities of development of the Newberries site; the group’s report was published in February. The APC meeting therefore offers a first opportunity for residents to learn of what, currently, is the position of HBC in this matter.

The below Statement gives your Committee’s reactions to the report. When you have read it please inform of your reactions and wishes by completing and returning the questionnaire (below Statement). It cannot be overstated, every member’s input is needed and invaluable; it is the task of TRACKS to know and correctly represent its members’ wishes – please help your Committee fulfil its role. Regards TRACKS’ Committee STATEMENT OF RESPONSE TO COUNCIL REPORT OF 28 FEBRUARY 2018 MARCH 2018 PREAMBLE The above report informs of the investigation, discussion and findings of the Consultative Group formed by Council, also of the subsidiary ‘focus groups’ formed by the Consultative Group. All groups sat from October to December 2017. TRACKS did not participate in any group or in production of the report. The objective of TRACKS is to ensure no development of this site other than with the prior agreement of the majority of Radlett residents. It is not the function of TRACKS to propose developments or judge development proposals – these are the functions and rights of residents. All figures are from the report or deduced/estimated from its content. CONSULTATION PROCESS Terms of reference (Council specified) 1. The Newberries site is going to be developed. 2. The brief and function of the consultation process is to identify the manner in which the site may/could be developed. 3. Council does not have option to address a budgetary issue other than by development of the site. 4. Residents do not have option other than that the site be developed. Observation. 1, 3 and 4 are of doubtful veracity, unsubstantiated and mislead.

Volunteers NeededWe are organising a blitz of Radlett High Street on Saturday 7th January between 9am and 5pm The objective is to hand out leaflets, ask people if they are for against or other and to recruit new members to TRACKS. I am looking for volunteers to do one/two hour stints.
Please use the contact link above if you are able to help out and the time that you can do. I will use Budgens as a base for the day. Thank you in anticipation Will Grimsey Chairman TRACKS DonateMembers are asked, please, to donate – as and if each can, as and if each chooses – to the ‘fighting fund’ that has been set up to meet the steadily growing cost of TRACKS’ continuation, growth and need to ‘raise its act’ in (e.g.) marketing (leaflets, posters, adverts); increasing membership; legal support for a judicial review; services of planning consultants; etc.
We're raising £10,000 to fund TRACKS build a war chest to fight HBC's development scheme in Newberries Car Park. To support TRACKS, please donate what you can.. Please donate to the JustGiving Crowdfunding Page here and help make it happen: It is stressed yet again, every member retains full membership and benefits irrespective of whether or not they make a donation. |
