All eyes on the Mill Stream

RDRA supports the residents of the Mill stream in their bid to ensure that if the Bury Weir is removed, as part of the Aquadrome project the flow of water in the Mill stream is maintained. We have introduced the Mill stream group to partners such as Friends of Stockers Lake and the Colne Valley Regional Trust. Members of RDRA have spoken at committee meetings and public meetings and are hopeful TRDC and the Environment agency will honour their commitment that the water levels in the Mill Stream will not diminish after the weirs removal.

The Mill stream runs from close to the Halfway House on the Uxbridge road down past Drayton Ford (Springwell Lane) and re joins the Colne at the Maple Cross treatment works. It is up to 800 years old. The Mill race which still exists on the Uxbridge road behind the Tanning centre and car showroom was a paper Mill and before that a corn Mill and is also of the same age as the Mill stream.

RDRDA seeks to preserve the Mill stream and the Mill race and will work with all agencies to reach this goal.

Have your say on local policing priorities

Message from Herts Connect (Hertfordshire Constabulary).

Over the last three months, Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPTs) across Hertfordshire have been busy tackling the issues you told us matter most — including anti-social behaviour and vehicle use, road safety and drug-related crime.

Thanks to your feedback, we’ve stepped up patrols, carried out targeted operations and made arrests.

We’re now getting ready to set our next round of local policing priorities at the start of September — and we want to hear from you again.

No one knows an area better than the people who live and work in it and your insight plays a big part in our decision making, helping to shape the priorities, alongside an analysis of local data.

Please take a moment to share what matters to you by completing our short survey.
