Consultation on Proposed Submission Neighbourhood Plan – Regulation 16

Barkway Parish Council and Nuthampstead Parish Meeting submitted their neighbourhood plan to North Hertfordshire District Council on 22 April 2024.

Consultation on the submitted neighbourhood plan took place between 10 May to 25 June 2024.

The plan sets out a vision for the parishes and planning policies which will be used to determine planning applications within the parishes.

All of the comments and representations are available to view on the North Herts Council website through our online consultation portal.

North Herts Council will now work with the Parish Council to appoint an independent examiner. The independent examiner will consider whether the proposed neighbourhood plan meets the basic conditions and other requirements set out by law. More information about the basic conditions is set out in the North Herts Council Planning Practice Guidance.

Notification

Any representation may include a request to be notified regarding North Herts Council’s decision under Regulation 19 (making a plan) to make the submitted neighbourhood plan for Barkway and Nuthampstead.

Nuthampstead Defibrillator Demonstration 22nd July

/in /by

Dear All

At long last I am pleased to announce that our defibrillator has been installed, registered with the emergency services and is ready for when it is needed. It is on the outside wall of The Woodman Inn to the right of the emergency exit facing Rayments Lane and is lit 24 hours a day.

The installation costs have been covered by a grant from Herts CC however, the initial capital cost of £750 and all future maintenance is down to us.

On Monday 22 July at 7pm we have been lucky to secure the services of a member of the Essex and Herts Air Ambulance Service to demonstrate the use of the defibrillator to us so that we know what to do when such an emergency arises. The demonstration will be at The Woodman Inn and I would encourage you to arrive slightly early in order that you have time to order a drink and be ready for the talk.

We are also taking the opportunity during the evening to raise funding to cover both the original cost and the ongoing maintenance.

We are, therefore,  asking for donations which can be either paid in cash or by credit card at The Woodman Inn. The pub has set up an account for us to receive the donations in the form of a loyalty card. You can also donate your points when eating and drinking at the pub.

Given that this is a significant acquisition for the use of everyone in the village, it would be great to see as many of you as possible on the 22nd when we can take advantage of receiving the necessary instructions for the use of the machine.

Should you wish to contribute, and you are not able to attend please either call into The Woodman Inn to donate or let me know and we can make the necessary arrangements.

I look forward to seeing you.

Regards

Geoff Hodge

Clerk to Nuthampstead Parish Meeting
