Duchy's Piece is a small nature reserve near Aldbury which features rare butterflies and downland flora. It was opened about 10 years ago by the Queen Mother on land owned by the National Trust. Running just below this, separated by a small area of scrub and undergrowth is a field that runs down to Northfield Road and which changed hands about 3 years ago.
You would think that Dacorum Borough Council could successfully carry through a nice, popular, simple little project like erecting some commerative street signs. When the fours signs, each on a tasteful dark green background, were erected everyone was pleased - especially Cllr Christopher Townsend who had asked for signs in the first place. Yes, they had different backgrounds, but most people thought that was intentional and that it was a way to make the commemeration more prominent and noticeable.
A joint project by Network Rail and Deutsche Bahn, owners of Chiltern Railways and Arriva Buses, is now nearing completion.
Eighteen months ago, when Christopher Townsend was one of the Borough Councillors for Tring West & Rural Ward, he was successful in persuading DBC to erect a special memorial street sign commemerating the bravery of Pte Edward Barber in the 1st World War.
