The children from Bishop Wood School were delightful, the London Heritage Brass were of an astonishingly high standard and the audience participation was enthusiastic. Andrew Openshaw, the Minister at New Mill Baptist Church in New Road, Tring, compered the proceedings with the perfect combination of relaxed formality and northern dryness and the organisation of the whole event was first class.The collection among the audience raised £1,250 for the Dacorum Emergency Night Shelter and Food Bank (DENS).Well done, everybody.
Brook Street is a main through route for north and south travelling vehicles. In addition it is a signposted route for both Icknield Way Industrial Estate and Ivinghoe to the east. The speed limit between Tring High Street and Icknield Way is 30mph with many side roads providing access to residential areas and community facilities. However speed management is needed due to the vehicle speeds recorded.
