Society’s response to SNAP - Stevenage Borough Council and North Herts
District Council’s proposals for the expansion of 10 April 2007 - A Joint Letter The Hitchin Society, together with
other four other voluntary sector organisations in Hitchin, sent a Joint
Letter to North Hertfordshire District Council, expressing their grave
concern at the approach of the Council towards Hitchin. The organisations
believe that it is essential for the Council to recognise the extent to which
confidence has now been lost within Hitchin, and urge the Council to take
urgent steps to ensure that the interests of Hitchin once again become
central to its decision-making processes. Specific proposals
were made to a meeting of Members of NHDC Cabinet with representatives of the
voluntary sector organisations held on 11 September 2007. The proposals included more effective participation
and involvement of local people in the Council’s proposals, rather than
the present arrangements for consultation.
It is also proposed that the NHDC Hitchin Committee (made up of
District Councillors elected to represent Hitchin) should have powers no
less than those of a parish council. |
