Chairman's Report
In May of last year elections were held for the Parish Council, nine of the existing members stood for re-election. The three who stood down, were Fiona Turner, Caroline Griffiths and William Deem. I would like here publicly to thank them for the hard work they put in during their period of office.
The remaining nine were re-elected and joined by Estelle Samuelson, Chris Wilkins and Barry Hyams. They have proved to be very useful members of the Parish Council in their first year. Unfortunately due to personal reasons Barry Hyams and also Stephen Burke have both resigned from the Council and we are looking to replace them.
In giving this report I do not want to steal the thunder from any of the Committee Chairman who will present their reports. Suffice it to say that each Committee has put in a lot of work this year to produce a result of which all the residents can be proud.
I had the privilege of presenting Cllr. Howley with an illuminated address, as an Honorary Citizen of Aldenham in recognition of his service as Council Chairman for six years. This is only the second occasion that this honour has been accorded the first time to Cllr. Douglas Hicks without whose leadership, the Radlett Centre would not have been built.
During the last 12 months Councillor Martin Saunders has added to his other duties as both a Borough and County Councillor by being elected Mayor of Hertsmere. This must be a final accolade as a Borough Councillor for he is stepping down from the Borough in May. As a Council we felt that his service of over thirty years to this Parish should also be marked by the award of Honorary Citizenship. This was presented to him in March, on behalf of the Parish, by the Lord Lieutenant of the County, The Countess of Verulam.
I would now like to welcome Peter Evans our new Parish Clerk who took up his duties in early March. I think that he is settling in and I know that he will get to know some of you quite well in future months.
We are putting together a Parish Plan, in order that we can judge our progress, in some of the things you want us to do. The Clerk will be co-ordinating this effort, please let us know if there is some project that we can include for the benefit of the Parish. We have many things we would like to put into action many of these are attempts to improve the situation for the teenagers of the Parish. When we have decided what we can do, we will consult with you, so that you can have your say and not have something foisted on you, which you do not want.
Finally I would like to express my thanks to our administrative staff. Our previous clerk Carrie Lloyd left us in December to take over as Clerk to Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council. Since then Jan Adams, Roberta Floate and Kathy Clague have continued run the business of the Council in an excellent manner.
Councillor R T A Worthy, Chairman
Recreation Grounds Committee
Until January 2008 the Committee had been under the Chairmanship of Councillor Stephen Burke. Unfortunately he was forced to resign in January due to personal reasons and as Chairman of the Council I took over the Committee for the remainder of the municipal year.
There have been many items which have kept this Committee busy throughout the year. Among those which have attracted the greatest interest were the employment of security guards at Phillimore recreation grounds during the summer and the opening of the Multi Use Games Area at the recreation grounds.
The employment of security guards during the summer although putting quite a strain on the finances proved to be very successful. The number of cases of vandalism to items around the park significantly reduced, saving a lot of money in repairs. You might ask what about insurance, in common with many policies, we have to pay the first £250 and many of the cases of vandalism came in just under that figure.
The Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) was opened in late April and has proved very successful with coaching sessions for football on most weekends. We hope to extend the sports into tennis, basketball and netball in the near future.
I am sure you cannot fail to have noticed the flowerbeds and hanging baskets around the Parish, for this we have thank the Ground Staff under the leadership of Fred Hills. They not only look after the flowers but also cut the grass around the Parish and repair gates and fences on the footpaths. Do not blame them if your favourite footpath is overgrown, because many of the paths are looked after by the County Council, but please contact us and we will try to get the work done.
The Christmas Lights each year get better and better, under the management of Cllr. John Howley. I know he would like to put more lights in for next year but cannot due to financial constraints. A lot of the wiring along the shops will have to be replaced this year which does not leave much for improved lights. However if any of the local shops would like to assist in this, it would be very welcome.
The major concern all over the Parish is the declining health of many of our trees. It would appear that a lot of the common species are now suffering from fungal diseases which rot them from the inside. The tree most affected is the Horse Chestnut. If you passed through Aldenham Village towards the end of last year you would have seen one of the trees around the green had fallen down. This fell on a parked car fortunately no one was injured. We have now completed a survey of most of the trees and the remedial work will cost many thousands of pounds. We are endeavouring to save as many of them as possible in order to maintain the Parish in its rural beauty.
Finally a very big thank you to Fred Hills and his staff, who although performing the high profile tasks of cutting the grass and looking after the Recreation Ground, do many other jobs to keep the Parish looking good. In particular I would like to thank them for their imaginative planting in the raised bed at Tykeside Gardens, depicting the centenary logo of The Scout Association.
If anyone knows of a celebration for 2008 that can be shown in flowers please let us know.
Councillor R T A Worthy, Chairman, Recreation Grounds Committee
Finance and General Purposes Committee
Although the Parish Precept was increased by 3.9% to £522,030, the actual increase that householders will face is 1.8%, due to more, or bigger, houses having been built in the past year.
Expenditure was forecast to be about £604,000 and income is expected to be about £82,000. Included in the expenditure is a contingency of £30,000 which, if not used, will be added to the Council’s reserves at the end of the financial year.
In the past year internal and external auditors examined the Parish Council’s accounts for 2006/07 and both submitted unqualified reports.
Following investigation of several options by the F&GP Committee, the Parish Council decided in January 2008 to move the bulk of its funds into an account that paid a rate of interest better than had been available previously. A working group has been formed recently to plan the Council’s capital expenditure for future years.
A new Parish Clerk was appointed on 10 March 2008, and the complement of staff is now 12 people, in a mixture of full-time and part-time posts.
Councillor John Howley, Chairman, Finance and General Purposes Committee
Boundaries and Planning Committee
The Boundaries and Planning Committee continues to meet fortnightly throughout the year to scrutinise all planning applications for development throughout the Parish. May I again request that any residents having concerns about neighbouring developments should notify the Parish Council of these concerns so that we may consider them before we make our decision on that application.
In the past year we have reviewed 346 applications for planning consent in the Parish, an increase of 3.6 %. The development at the former Quadrant works in Watling Street is nearing completion with many units now being occupied.
The number of applications received for the demolition and rebuilding of properties throughout the village continues to increase. We continue to fight for the retention of smaller properties and for the increase in the number of lower cost housing for the young and the elderly.
During the past year we have responded to the Hertsmere Borough Council’s draft Parking Standards Supplementary Planning Document which is intended to secure higher standards of residential and non residential parking for new developments and to Hertsmere’s Local Development Framework Core Strategy Preferred Options consultation. We also responded to the East of England Regional Assembly’s document on Planning for Gypsy and Traveller Accommodation.
Several members have attended meetings held in the Council Chamber at Hertsmere Borough Council regarding the proposed demolition and rebuilding of the Radlett United Synagogue. We continue to have concerns regarding the lack of parking on the site and the impact on neighbouring roads. We are actively involved in discussions with members of the Synagogue, Hertsmere Borough Council and local residents to try and reach a satisfactory resolution for all concerned.
We have been following the inquiry regarding the proposed Rail Freight Terminal at Park Street and hope for St. Albans District Council’s decision to be upheld.
We still continue to press for strong enforcement of planning permission.
Again, I would like to thank my fellow Councillors for their much valued work on a very demanding committee. I would also like to thank our administrative officer, Roberta Floate, for all her support and for the very able way in which she assists residents who come with concerns relating to planning matters, and to the officers in the Planning Department at Hertsmere Borough Council for their assistance.
Councillor Elizabeth Wackrow, Chairman, Boundaries and Planning Committee
Youth and Community Centre Committee
This year we have recently redecorated the rear hall and replaced its worn carpeting with hardwearing carpet tiles. Earlier in the year we suffered a spate of vandalism where the windows in the back hall were regularly broken by youths throwing stones. This cost us quite a bit as each breakage was classed as a separate incident by the insurance company and so we had to pay the excess on each claim, which added up to quite a lot, which has limited what we can do in terms of improvements. The windows now have been protected by wire netting, which, although fairly unattractive, seems to have solved the problem.
The Youth Centre has quite a full schedule of bookings currently, as it is used most of the time during the day and evenings, as well as most weekends. However the Youth Club have not had a booking since Christmas. This year, so far, we do not have any bookings for the summer holiday play schemes.
The Youth Centre is ideal for children’s parties and we charge £70 for a party finishing before 6pm. This is very competitive and one of the cheapest hall hire charges in the area.
I would like to thank Jan Adams, the Deputy Parish Clerk, for her hard work in taking the bookings and day-to-day liaison with the users, and Reg Carrott, our hard working caretaker.
Councillor Mrs Viv Charrett, Chairman, Radlett Youth and Community Centre Committee
The Radlett Centre
Since 1996 the Radlett Centre has established itself as one of the premier venues in Hertfordshire, with a diverse programme of events and a strong emphasis on its role within the local community. This year we were very fortunate to be able to renew some of our sound equipment due to a generous donation by Mr. John Apthorp.
Theatre & the Arts
The professional programme includes plays, musicals, jazz, blues, classical music, comedy, ballet and opera.
The Centre is also home to many local societies who hold regular events here. These include The Radlett Players, The Radlett Light Operatic Society, Radlett Music Club and Radlett Arts Society.
Children’s Events
These include children’s shows on weekends and during school holidays, Saturday drama classes and Musical Theatre Workshops in the summer and Easter holidays. Our traditional Christmas pantomime is a highlight of the year and now plays for 35 performances over December/January.
Private Hires
Private hires account for a large part of the Centre’s income and include Barmitzvahs, wedding receptions, school productions and charity shows. The meeting rooms on the first floor are hired out for a variety of business uses such as training sessions, schools appeals, parish council business and other local government gatherings.
Art Exhibitions
The Centre has two spaces that are used for monthly Art Exhibitions. Priority is given to local artists and the galleries are booked about a year in advance.
The Radlett Centre continues to thrive as a busy venue and Arts Centre and once again has come in within the projected budget.
Greg Dexter, General Manager, The Radlett Centre
Transport Committee
The Transport Committee monitors and lobbies on transport issues in the parish.
The biggest long term issue affecting Radlett is the possible rail freight terminal; if it built without substantial changes to the road infrastructure it is bound to lead to an increase in the numbers of heavy vehicles travelling through the village. Bill Price from STRIFE is addressing this meeting and I urge you to help him in any way you can.
Other issues that we have been monitoring and taking action on are:
- Responsibility for enforcement parking restrictions in Radlett passed to Hertsmere Borough Council in 2006 with the installation of Pay-and-Display meters. The system seems to be working well. There are still some instances of parking problems that we address as they occur.
- Over-flying by helicopters from Elstree Airfield is a concern and we continue to monitor and lobby to ensure that inconvenience to residents is kept to a minimum.
- Much work has been done to improve the state of the roads in the parish. We liaise with Highway Engineers but it is sometimes difficult to get quick action; small problems such as blocked gulleys often take a long time to rectify. Any residents encountering problems (potholes, pavement problems, blocked gulleys, faulty street lighting) can report them via www.hertsdirect.org/highwayfaults or 01923 471320.
- Early in 2007 it was agreed that when the Thamselink project gets the go-ahead Radlett Station will be upgraded to take 12 coach trains; although the project has been given approval in principle we are still waiting, and may have to wait for some time, for financing to be put in place.
I would like to thank all the committee members and Roberta Floate, our secretary, for their work during the year.
Councillor David Lambert, Chairman, Transport Committee
Footpaths Sub Committee
The Footpaths Sub Committee has the aim of bringing together various parties who are interested in the upkeep and preservation of the footpaths, bridleways and other rights of way in the parish.
We monitor the state of footpaths and co-ordinate the reporting of issues to the Countryside Management Service at Hertfordshire County Council.
In 2007/08 there have been no notable problems in maintaining paths in the parish. We welcome comments from residents on the state of paths e.g. overgrowth, condition of stiles and gates which we pass to the relevant authority to rectify.
I would like to thank all the committee members, particularly Geoffrey Smyth of the Radlett Society & Green Belt Association who, with his team of walkers, ensures that footpaths are regularly inspected and any problems reported, Brian Hyde of Patchetts Forum and David Bagon of Hertsmere Healthy Walks who have regularly provided vital knowledge of the footpaths in the parish.
Councillor David Lambert, Chairman, Footpaths Sub Committee
Newsletter Committee
The Parish Council has produced 3 editions of its newsletter ‘Around Radlett’ this year. It has also produced a new official Aldenham Parish Guide and maps. The overall cost was £10,448.30p. This was reduced to a net cost of £8,980.19p by income from advertisements.
We may increase the cost of advertising on the back cover as we will be producing the covers in colour in future.
In each edition we cover the work of the Parish Council, and give information about the Councillors. We hope you find this informative.
Articles this year have covered subjects as diverse as the Tarantula Society, the history of Porter’s Park Golf Course, letters from members of the Parish and information about local health issues. We also publish forthcoming events for the Radlett Centre, Music and Arts Societies and the Interfaith Group.
Up till now, the Royal Mail has delivered to every house in the Parish, but after the current year they have told us that we are too small for them to deal with. We are urgently looking for an alternative for future deliveries, so if anyone can suggest one, we would be interested to hear from them.
We have a new printer called Caprin in Park Street, and we hope you like the colour covers.
I would like to thank Jan Adams, the Deputy Parish Clerk for all her hard work in keeping the Committee on the straight and narrow and for helping me so much in my first year as Chairman.
I would also like to thank all those who have contributed with articles and photographs and particularly to John Bland for allowing us to use his painting of the sculpture at Porter’s Park for our front cover of the latest edition. I hope you agree that it is absolutely splendid.
Councillor Gill Balen, Chairman, Newsletter Committee
Radlett and Aldenham International Friendship Association (RAIFA)
It has been another busy year for RAIFA. I must thank the members of the RAIFA Committee for their work through the year, without which nothing would happen at all.
Louveciennes, France
We are seeking to encourage more exchanges between families with school-aged children and successfully piloted this approach this year. Three families from Louveciennes came to Radlett last May and stayed with families over a weekend packed with activities. A return visit by the Radlett families to Louveciennes will take place this May.
Once again we were represented at the Louveciennes Fete des Fleurs (Festival of Flowers) in September. This year it was Francesca Whitham who was our Maid of Honour for the Festival Queen at this colourful annual event.
Lautertal, Germany
It was a quiet year in our relationship with Lautertal mainly because they were celebrating the 25th anniversary of their other twinning with Jarnac in France. However we learned that we have made a special contribution to the new Felsenmeer Geo Park, a major new tourist attraction in Lautertal. Because the German post office refused to provide a new post-box at the Visitors' Centre at the Park, our twinning partners APEG moved the traditional British red post box we gave them some years ago to the site for use by visitors!
Dunaharaszti, Hungary
We made an initial visit to Dunaharaszti in June last year at the invitation of the Mayor. We met representatives of local organisations and toured the town and surrounding area. Dunaharaszti is a fast growing town of Roman origins on the Danube and just outside Budapest. The Mayor of Dunaharaszti will be visiting Radlett later this month so we can show him around the Parish. We hope this will be followed by some exchanges between groups in our two communities over the coming months.
Social Events
Our social events were very successful both in getting members together and for raising funds. The New Year's Party, Quiz Night and a pre-Christmas “Wine & Nibbles” event all went down very well with members as in previous years.
Looking forward
Our big event this year will be in October when we will be welcoming a party from Louveciennes to celebrate the 25th anniversary of twinning.
Website
RAIFA now has a website including details of exchanges and photos at www.raifa.org.uk.
Clive Glover, Chairman, RAIFA
Aldenham War Memorial Hall
The accounts for Aldenham War Memorial Hall for the year ended 31 March 2007 show a loss of £3,383. This reflects an increase in our cost base as a result of higher charges for insurance and utilities and a lower level of bookings in the year.
Clearly this level of loss is not sustainable and the management committee have worked hard over the last twelve months to both increase the use of the Hall and also to increase the charges made to users. This has proved successful and for the year ending 31 March 2008 we expect to cover the Hall’s operating costs and the annual loan repayment of £600 to Hertfordshire County Council.
The management committee however recognise that it will not be possible to provide for the long term maintenance of the Hall from booking revenues alone. We have had a limited survey of the Hall carried out and have identified approximately £10,000 of work that needs doing in the coming years. We have commenced our own fund raising efforts and have secured a donation of £2,000 from the Brewers Company and £2,000 from residents of Letchmore Heath (added to which we have also been able to recover gift aid relief).
We would like Aldenham Parish Council to make a contribution to the long term maintenance fund. As we note above, whilst the management committee are committed to covering routine operating costs we need additional support to maintain this important building* which is now being used virtually every day of the week and is providing an important facility for a wide range of local activities.
For your information we have not received any financial support from Aldenham Parish Council since the year ended 31 March 2001, when we received a grant of £1,200.
Simon Lefts, Hon. Treasurer, Aldenham War Memorial Hall (a registered charity)
* We have just been informed that the Hall is to be included in the list of locally important buildings in Hertsmere.

Meetings
Meetings were held in January, May and October 2007.
Applications for Grants
Several applications were received, which did not meet the terms of the Scheme. Eighteen Grants were made with a total value of £2,289 to help with the educational needs of young persons in the Parish.
Applications for Awards
In 2007 seven Awards were made, totalling £4,150. One winner was spending a full year with the Soul Survivors Ministry, dividing his time between Canada, Kenya and the UK, a second winner was undertaking a year long trip to Peru with the charity “Ambulance Field Service”, and a third winner was going to New Zealand to complete his Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award. Another successful applicant was going with his school CCF to Tanzania on an Adventure Training expedition and yet another winner travelled to Sweden in order to celebrate the centenary anniversary of the Scout Movement. The remaining two winners had equally challenging expeditions to Malawi on a Tear Fund project led by the Scripture Union and to South America with a specialist Gap Year Company called Venture Co. All the candidates exhibited considerable commitment and imagination and had worked very hard to raise the necessary funds.
Capital Project Grants
No Capital Grants were paid during the year.
Finance
Despite the difficult investment climate, the Foundation’s continuing sound financial position allowed the Governors to approve varying amounts totalling £6,439 for all those applicants, who met the terms of the Grant and Award schemes. No further investments were made during the year.
Appreciation
The Governors were once again most grateful for the continuing support and encouragement they received from Aldenham Parish Council and for the most generous donation from the Brewers Company.Radlett Village Institute

Report and Accounts for the year ended 31st March 2007
As requested, I enclose the Report and Audited Accounts of the Radlett Village Institute for the year ended 31 March 2007. We show a net deficit of £1,001 compared with a surplus of £4,828 for the previous year. This is due to necessary repairs being carried out on what is an ageing building and also the refurbishment of both the interior and exterior of the Institute.
However, our total assets remain much the same at £42,816 compared with £42,982 for 2006.
Our Lettings are at a high level, and show an increase which we have been told is due to our refurbishment programme.

Independent Examiner’s Report to the Trustees of Radlett Village Institute
I report on the accounts of the Trust for the year ended 3 March 2007, which are set out on pages 4 to 5 (note: pages 20 to 21 in this collected Annual Report).
Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner
As the charity’s trustees you are responsible for the preparation of the accounts; you consider that the audit requirement of section 43(2) of the Charities Act 1993 (the Act) does not apply, and that an independent examination is needed. It is my responsibility to examine the accounts under section 43(3)(a) of the Act and to state, on the basis of procedures specified in the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners under section 43(7)(b) of the Act, whether particular matters have come to my attention.
Basis of independent examiner’s report
My examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commissioners. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently I do not express an audit opinion on the view given by the accounts.
Independent examiner’s statement
In connection with my examination, no matter has come to my attention:
- which gives me reasonable cause to believe that in any material respect the requirements
- to keep accounting records in accordance with section 41 of the Act; and
- to prepare accounts which accord with the accounting records and to comply with the accounting requirements of the Act.
have not been met: or
- to which, in my opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
