Parish Council Email Database

In the recent Parish Council village survey, many residents indicated that they would like to receive updates about local events and information via email. In response, the Parish Council is establishing an email database to help keep members of the parish informed about events and other useful updates.

This will not replace our existing communication channels—such as the Village Voice, Facebook, the parish website, or noticeboards – but will provide an additional way for us to share information with residents.

On behalf of the HCC Hertfordshire Speed Management team:

Hertfordshire County Council are updating the Speed Management Strategy which provides a consistent approach to setting speed limits in Hertfordshire.

They want to hear your views on current speed limits in the county, as well as the processes they should follow for setting new speed limits. Please take part in this survey that should take around 5-10 minutes to complete. The survey is open until 11.59pm on Monday 16 February 2026.

The Speed Management Strategy provides the benchmark against which Hertfordshire County Council decides on how new speed limits are set, as well as deciding on whether physical road calming measures are required and which would be appropriate. HCC receive several hundred requests each year from residents and stakeholders to reduce speed limits. Each request is assessed against the Speed Management Strategy to determine whether a reduction is appropriate. Therefore, it’s important to hear from partners and stakeholders about their views on current speed limits in the county, as well as understanding and developing the processes the County Council should follow for setting new speed limits.

We are updating our Speed Management Strategy (SMS) which provides a consistent approach to setting speed limits in Hertfordshire. We receive several hundred requests each year from residents and stakeholders to reduce speed limits. We assess each request against the

The East of Luton development has two planning applications open for comment. They will impact surrounding areas in many ways.

If you have an opinion on them please do consider commenting officially on the planning applications at www.north-herts.gov.uk/view-and-comment-planning-applications. The application numbers to search for are: 16/02014/1 and 17/00830/1.

It is always helpful to share your comments with parish, district and county councillors, but to make your voice heard it’s important you also comment on the planning application on the above portal.

Kings Walden Parish Council, along with District Councillor Joe Graziano, are holding a drop-in session on Tuesday 25th November to discuss the applications with any residents who need some assistance in how to respond.

Information regarding upcoming road works in East Street/Hexton Road, Lilley:

The permit for these works is FM301BR6402000374758-01 and the permit window is from 3-14 November 2025.

The road space has been booked for two weeks to accommodate a range of essential works.

To minimise disruption, the road will be closed daily from 09:30 to 15:00, avoiding school drop-off and pick-up times. Residents will be granted access when it is safe to do so.

The planned works include:

• Installation of speed humps

• Footway improvements

• Drainage upgrades

Advance notice will be provided via letters and signage two weeks prior to the start date, in line with permit conditions. Local bus services will also be informed at the same time.

While the works are scheduled to last two weeks, it is aimed to complete them sooner, if possible, though this cannot be guaranteed.
