Annual Parish Meeting 2019
The Annual Parish Meeting, which was held on Wednesday 20 March, gave our Councillors a great opportunity to share what they have been doing over the past four years.
Attendees heard about projects such as maintaining open spaces, upgrades to the sports facilities, the Neighbourhood Plan and plans for the future of The Memorial Hall, to name but a few.
Jane Parker, Principal Wastes Contract Officer from St Albans District Council, gave a presentation regarding food waste and provided an opportunity for attendees to ask questions. Attendees were also given an opportunity to read the Neighbourhood Plan in detail and have their say, as well as view a snapshot of the WW1 Exhibition created by the History Society.
