Well, the Nissan Leaf electric car demo at the Tring Eco Fair, held in April, seems to have caught the interest of one of the Lib Dem Hertfordshire County Councillors. Nick Hollinghurst, who represents the Tring & Villages Division, and his wife, Rosemarie Hollinghurst, finally got around to booking a test drive at Aylesbury Nissan in a Leaf Tekna.
In a huge blow to Britain's Green industry, the Conservatives have announced they will end all Government funding to the Green Deal - a programme set up by the Liberal Democrats in Coalition that helps people make their homes more energy efficient. They plan to scrap the scheme without any replacement.
What a change 11 weeks makes! Special congratulations to Isabelle Murray who was still 17 on May 7th and unable to vote in the General Election.
Following a look at a Nissan Leaf electric car shown at the Tring Eco Fair, held in April, Lib Dem Hertfordshire County Councillor Nick Hollinghurst has decided to investigate electric motoring seriously.
We have been asked where to address objections to a possible motorway service station at J17. Now is too soon to object. Please wait until there is a planning application and you have the number of the pl.application to identify your objection. We will let you know the number if /when any application is submitted. ……………………………… The week before last, Rickmansworth Local Area TRDC Planning Officer Peter Simons explained that TRDC petitioned had Parliament about the issued raised by the HS2 proposals. TRDC has negotiated with the promoter (HS2 Ltd) for more clarity on the scheme and for positive commitments to improve the proposals for this area. Four issues have been deferred to a consortium of local authorities working together on the technical issues of sound, noise and vibration. We are concerned that the scheme would severely affect the local area because of pollution and traffic, and the very large construction compounds to be sited near West Hyde/Maple Cross. These compounds are expected to be operational
Newly-elected leader Tim Farron has confirmed that the Liberal Democrats will vote against the Government's Welfare Bill.
