In Remembrance

HRH The Prince Philip

Duke of Edinburgh

10 June 1921 – 9 April 2021

Wheathampstead Parish Council joins the nation in mourning the death of His Royal Highness, The Duke of Edinburgh.

With deep sorrow Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness, Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh who passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle.

The Duke was married to the Queen Elizabeth II for more than 70 years and became the longest serving Consort in British History.

In light of the current restrictions our plans have been amended. We are unable to open a physical book of condolence but suggest that those wishing to share condolences with the Royal Family may choose to use the Hertfordshire Lord Lieutenant’s online book of remembrance .

More mindless vandalism

Wheathampstead is a wonderful place to live and work, or visit. A caring community with huge togetherness of spirit. All spoilt by a few inconsiderate individuals.

Our latest ‘victim’ is the bug hotel in the Meads Community Orchard.

If you know those responsible please contact the police on 101

Food waste dumping in the Diamond Jubilee Garden

We are experiencing continuing problems with someone dumping foodwaste in the Diamond Jubilee Garden – our little haven of tranquillity by the Mill Quay. This is totally unacceptable, liable to attract vermin, bad news for animals who might think it is a possible snack.

If you spot the offender please contact the police on 101, or our PCSO Alex Olteanu (alex.olteanu@herts.pnn.police.uk)

Village Weekend 2021

Having reviewed the Government’s Covid roadmap, with earliest lifting of restrictions being 21st June, we have decided to cancel Picnic on the Meads, scheduled for 10th July. We are looking at possibly rescheduling a scaled down ‘Village Day’ ( was 11th July) later in the year, possibly early autumn. Watch this space for updates.
