Update from Laurence Brass, campaigner for Bushey North.
Our Lib Dem councillors and I havelong been fighting plans for Watford FC to build a new stadium in Bushey.
As a key part of our campaign, we set out to protect Bushey Hall Golf Course - the proposed stadium site - from being redeveloped for any scheme along these lines. And we now have some very good news to report.
Whilst welcoming Herts County Council's announcement that it is finally making a start on addressing the climate emergency, Liberal Democrat County Councillors have condemned the Conservative Council's proposals in their "Sustainable Hertfordshire Action Plan" as unlikely to meet the council's target of zero carbon emissions by 2030.
Lib Dem campaigners kickstart volunteer book scheme to fill gap left by closure of council library
Volunteers who were set to open a new community library in north Bushey are adapting the scheme to a mobile service in response to the return of lockdown.
The library was due to open its doors every fortnight from 11th November at the North Bushey Baptist Church, after generous locals donated more than 1,300 books.
Conservative run Herts County Council has wasted £119,000 of council tax payers' money on investigating a failed bid to turn it into a megasuper council abolishing the 10 district and borough councils.
Following questions raised by Liberal Democrat Group Leader Cllr Stephen Giles-Medhurst, it was revealed that Hertfordshire County Council spent £119,000 in the last year to explore local government reform in the county.
Bushey North's county council campaigner, Laurence Brass, wants your help to set the agenda for Bushey's future.
I first moved to north Bushey in 1972 - and I'm prouder than ever to live in this wonderful community. But big challenges lie ahead. Suddenly, major developments urgently threaten our greenspace. GPs and schools struggle to keep pace with increased housing. And our local economy and environment struggle on without effective leadership.
