Two Meetings in Two Days

Lloyd Harris — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 21:34:34 +0000

Tonight I attended a committee of the council and spoke out against the closure of Post Offices across Dacorum including the Heights in Highfield.
My fellow Councillor Brenda Link has an article on her site on the campaign to save the Heights. http://brendalink.mycouncillor.org.uk/
The whole committee agreed to get Dacorum Council to write in objection to the closure of all the five threatened Post Offices.

Last Night at Full Council I took the opportunity to condemn the Council’s plan to drastically cut bedding plants and hanging baskets. All hanging baskets will be removed from neighbourhood shopping centres including those in Highfield next year.

Lib Dems Cry Foul at Delays in Budget

Lloyd Harris — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 22:32:16 +0000

At the full council meeting the Conservative Administration denied that the budget process for the coming year was delayed but admitted that the first chance opposition members would have to see it will be in February.
Cllr Denise Rance, Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group and Official Opposition, questioned the Leader of the Council who could not bring himself to admit that scrutiny of the budget had been removed from all committee meetings in the autumn, and often with little notice.

Police ride along scheme

Lloyd Harris — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 11:46:49 +0000

Last Thursday evening (6th Dec) I accompanied PC Aubrey patrolling Highfield in order to check out how the Police serve the area. It was raining so we spent a lot of time in the car.
