THERE IS A DACORUM COUNCIL BYE-ELECTION IN BOXMOOR, ON THURSDAY, 3RD FEBRUARY, 2022 Cllr William Allen, also a DBC councillor for Boxmoor - a 3-councillor ward - says, "Our colleague Liz Uttley has been a wonderful hardworking councillor, but a career move within the family meant a change of scene.
While welcoming the two-year flurry of announcements from Transport Minister Grant Shapps for rail rebuild proposals, local Liberal Democrat Councillor for the Tring West & Rural Ward on Dacorum Borough Council, Nick Hollinghurst has sounded a note of caution.
Well, taking advantage of the Two Households Rule - and relying on the efficiency of Lateral Flow Tests - we made bold enough to invite our neighbours over to dinner on New Years Eve.
Liberal Democrats and Labour have always valued public education to a greater degree than Conservatives, if only because the generally more wealthy Conservative mostly have access to an alternative system.
Herts Lib Dems have hit out at Tory County Council claims that our roads are in "Good Shape". In March this year, the Lib Dems protested as over 60 road resurfacing reconstruction schemes were cut from works due by the County Council. The Conservative administration cut road improvement schemes (mainly on secondary side roads across the county) and reduced the budget for such schemes by £2m - next year and in each of the following three years. This cut £8m in total from the planned £37m spend up to 2025 - a cut of 22%. Now council officers have released figures showing that the number of side roads in Hertfordshire that need of repair has nearly doubled since last year - increasing from 7% to 12%.
Wishing everyone as good a Christmas as present circumstances permit!
