Welwyn Round Table has been driving Father Christmas around Welwyn collecting donations for local charities for about 40 years. Unfortunately over the years membership of the group has dwindled and now they are unable to put on Santa with his sleigh for the parish.
The sleigh run runs for 6 consecutive evenings at the beginning of December and requires the float, a driver, Father Christmas and a minimum of 8 collectors. If you would be willing to volunteer and keep this traditional event alive for the children of your parish please contact Malcolm Temple at malcolmtemple@hotmail.com
A vacancy has arisen at Digswell ward for Welwyn Parish Council due to the resignation of one of our councillors. If you are interested in serving as a councillor and representing the views of residents in Digswell please click here for our application form and here for our Vacancy Policy.
Hertfordshire County Council E-petition – funding to implement road safety recommendations on B197 near Oaklands Primary School (Oaklands).We need you to sign the above e-petition in support of the urgent implementation of the AECOM (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, Operations and Management independent consultancy) road safety recommendations for the B197 near Oaklands Primary School (Oaklands). Implementing AECOM’s low to medium cost recommendations alone would help to improve road safety near Oaklands Primary School by reducing traffic speeds from the current 40 mph to at most 30 mph.
Following concerns raised about road safety on the B197, in 2017 a petition was signed by 353 concerned parents and local residents and led to a road safety study by AECOM which made a number of recommendations that were aimed at reducing the serious road risks to school children at Oaklands Primary School (and St. Michael’s Primary School in Woolmer Green as well as other vulnerable local people).
These recommendations, made in May 2018, have yet to be implemented. A funding application has been submitted to carry out the works and we urge for a successful outcome.
