Great to see the trial closure of North St in #BishopsStortford thanks to Karen from Discover Stortford (and Councils) for making the #Victorian circus event happen! A day of fun with food, music and entertainment and even an East Herts Council #consultation opportunity. #Thrivinghighstreets

Excited to be at BEAM Hertford to see Susie Dent this afternoon - the auditorium very full and the bar was buzzing with a real West End feel. So lucky to have this in Hertfordshire 💚

I’ve written to Chase New Homes with Cllr Sarah Hopewell and KNP Hertford. We’re calling on them to rethink plans for a nail bar in Lea Wharf and put in a bus station waiting room. We’re planning to deliver a petition signed by over 1,300 residents tomorrow. Read our joint

Modigliana, Italy. Last year this area saw flooding and it was said to be a 1 in 500 year event. This year the flooding returns, with the potential to be worse. Our climate is shifting.
