Council News
Welcome to the Council News page - this will be updated regularly; last updated 07 July 08.
In the last month the Council has, as is usual, considered a large number of planning applications. We have no final decision-making ability, but give our views to Dacorum who have to consider them when making their decision.
The Allotments and Environment Committee considered a report on the Millennium Woodland which indicated how the wood should be maintained, and agreed to seek quotations for maintenance. The Allotments Association gave a report and stated that it would have an Open Day on 10th August and its AGM at the Red Cross Hall on 1st October. They also planned a plant stall in Church Square on 8th November. Reports were received on improvements and modifications to paths and rights of way.
The Finance and Policy Committee considered an invitation for the Mayor to visit Loreto in Italy, but regretfully turned it down. Grants were given to Tring U3A, Tring in Transition and Chilterns MS Centre.
The Council received reports from Tring Together and Tring Youth Town Council, both of which are supported financially by the Council. The Council reviewed its 10-Year Plan and made an appeal for Tring organisations to update their details at the Information Centre and enter events in the Tring diary there.
The Council also discussed the lack of provision of washing facilities at the Forge Car Park toilets and agreed to take the matter up with Dacorum Borough Council. The Council agreed to send a representative to the Dacorum Local General Hospital Health Campus event on 7th July; and to object to the proposed closures of the Wilstone and Long Marston Post Offices.
Council and committee meetings are on Monday evenings at 7.30 p.m. See the notice board outside the Market House or the meetings page of this website for details. You are always very welcome to attend, and almost all meetings have time reserved for the public to speak. You are also welcome to bring up queries with our Town Clerk, Mrs Susan Johnson, at the Council Chambers, by phone 01442 823347 or by email clerk@tring.gov.uk
