New accessible circular path around Butterfield
Working with Herts County Council and using s106 funding, Wheathampstead Parish Council is enhancing the grassland adjacent to the Butterfield Nature Reserve and extending accessible access to the Village.
We aim to:
- Restore chalk grassland habitat by removing scrub and vegetation
- Retain neutral grassland habitat by replacing aging grazing infrastructure and securing the fence to the sheep enclosure
- Install new 1.16km hard surfaced circular path and redress existing path to improve access and link with public footpath network.

Vandalism to ATP floodlights
The glass covering of one floodlight at the artificial turf pitch (commonly referred to as the astro) was found smashed during the morning on 23 June 2021. We believe the damage occurred the previous night, some time between 9pm on Monday 22 June and 10am on Tuesday 23 June.
If you saw anything suspicious, please contact 101 and provide the crime reference number for this incident – 41/47314/21.
Sadly damage like this is extremely expensive, given the specialist equipment required to fix the same. We urge anyone who sees/saw anything suspicious to speak with the police as soon as possible so that we can try to prevent this from happening again.
