Welwyn Hatfield Council hear Residents' Concerns

Welwyn Hatfield Council’s Councillors and Officers met residents at the first in a series of summer public consultation meetings on Monday 17 July.

The meeting, which took place in Hatfield at the Jim MacDonald Centre, focused on Crime and Anti-Social Behaviour and Environmental issues. Residents were able to voice their concerns and get involved in shaping the issues that need to be addressed in the borough over the next year.

Residents were invited to participate in focus groups which discussed issues covering street cleansing, refuse and recycling, local environment, anti-social behaviour, reducing crime and feeling safer and local planning services.

Initial feedback on the meetings will be sent to all residents who attended within the next four weeks and a summary will be posted on the council’s website.

Officers were also presented with a petition from residents of the Ellenbrook Estate to erect barriers on the Alban Way to stop motorcyclists using the pathway. This petition is now being considered by the council.
