Carol Singing Monday and Wednesday

Despite foul weather on Monday and slightly less foul weather on Wednesday, the carol singers were out in the village.  Between the two nights they collected a total of £367.24.  This will be split between two charities.
DENS Dacorum Emergency Night Shelter
and
Parkinsons UK
If you were not able to make a contribution on the night, it is still possible to do so by contacting Mike Pritchard (contact details on this blog) or any one of the village reps.

We now have an apology to make. The weather started out less foul on the Wednesday night, but when the heavy rain turned to driving hail as we approached the end of Bourne End Lane we decided enough is enough. Our apologies if we missed you out.

Planning Application to redevelop Bourne End Mills Industrial Estate

As you may have seen from the local press, plans have been submitted for the redevelopment of the site. In essence, this is along the lines of the commercial development proposals made in 2008. Modifications have been made to meet the council's objections made at the time. Rather than going into any detail here, it would be helpful if as many people as possible could examine the proposals and feed comments to committee members of the Village Association. Alternatively you might like to make comments here on the blog. The plans can be viewed on line via the planning portal.  The reference is: 4/02245/12/VOT The following link should get you there: http://www.dacorum.gov.uk/planonline/AcolNetCGI.gov?ACTION=UNWRAP&RIPNAME=Root.PgeResultDetail&TheSystemkey=206660
