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.
