New Barnfield Hits New Problems
Liberal Democrat County Councillor for Handside & Peartree, Malcolm Cowan has discovered a worrying and startling fact about the implications of the call-in of the New Barnfield incinerator plan by government. The county council have no Plan B as backup if the current plan is thrown out by the inspector, and that they also plan to persist in moving Southfield school this year. If the plan is rejected, the move will have been disruptive and pointless and if approved, it could have been delayed for a year. He says 'It really does look as if the Tory Cabinet is in denial - no plan B means years more uncertainty and extra cost as landfill prices go up. Moving Southfield school this year means a real snub to the children and their parents who have already endured years of uncertainty. It is almost as if they don't believe their plan is going off the rails'.

The 24hr Helpline is 0343 222 2424 ……………………………………………………………………. Serves U Right -Some Good News. At long last we have had a response from the person managing the premises, and he has agreed to our request to clear up/clean up the front of the shop which has looked really scruffy for months. We are told this work will be done next week ! Could this have anything to do with the planning application on these premises, 151 High Street and 149 next door, to change the use from Class A1 (shop) to Cl.A3 restaurant and café ? The application is 15/2536/FUL and can be seen on Three Rivers District Council
