I start this month with some disappointing news: Wheatley Homes have succeeded in their appeal to build a further 180 dwellings on the land to the south of Hare Street Road. This will bring the total number of dwellings on the former arable field to 285, with access through Snells Mead for a further 100 dwellings and a new access off Hare Street Road for the remaining 80. We still await the decision on the appeal for land east of Aspenden Road, expected in late March

Plans to commemorate the Queen's 90th birthday are moving apace and we will announce in the May issue of the Journal just what shape these plans will take. If any of our members or readers have any ideas about what we should do then please feel free to contact us

Hertfordshire Countryside Management Service are organising a series of walks around the Hertfordshire Countryside for the Hertfordshire Walking Festival. Buntingford has been chosen as one of the venues for a walk in May. More details can be found here.

Finally, it is the Civic Society's AGM this month. Madela Baddock has kindly agreed to be our guest speaker on the evening and she will be talking about 'Transition Towns'. Hope to see you there.
