Dacorum Local Plan and the "Affordable" Housing planned that - er - isn't!
Three small but crucial parts of the Local Plan to highlight today.
Three small but crucial parts of the Local Plan to highlight today.
THERE'S BEEN AN ANNOUNCEMENT
Dacorum Borough Councillor, Liz Uttley, has been looking at the Dacorum Local Development Plan. She writes,
The Conservatives at Herts County Council have refused to back the idea of providing support to Hertfordshires businesses affected by Covid closures and to help businesses recover from the impacts of the pandemic.
Can we afford to NOT do this?
To be "sound" (and get accepted), a Local Plan like the one being consulted by Dacorum must follow the rules set out in something called the NPPF.
A cross-carty campaign led by the Liberal Democrat MP, Daisy Cooper, has secured Christmas contacts for care home residents and their families.
"Hertfordshire County Council's Sustainability Action Plan doesn't actually contain enough action on tackling the Climate Emergency," claims the County's Liberal Democrat Group.
'The one about schools'. This map shows the proposed primary schools and secondary schools in VERY APPROXIMATE locations. Cllr Uttley literally just put them in the housing allocation area to which they relate. It's like pin the tail on the donkey when you don't cheat! . You may also note the stars by the schools north of Grovehill (eastern site). This is because this housing site and all that goes with it is proposed for after 2038 so isn't even in this Local Plan period. There is an awful lot of time for this allocation to change and so it should therefore be consumed with lots of salt! More questions? This is the link to the fairly easy to interpret 'Proposals and Sites' document for Hemel. Honestly, this one is actually pretty easy reading. https://www.dacorum.gov.uk/.../part-3---local-plan... Remember, the more people that respond to this consultation the better, take a look, tell your friends, GET INVOLVED!

Can you help the West Herts Liberal Democrats get the Resources they need to carry on their political and community activity and their local and national campaigning?
