Referendum for Neighbourhood Plan on 1st May

Message for those who live in the Batchworth Community Council area.

TRDC have organised a referendum for the Neighbourhood Plan on 1^st May 2025 alongside the County Council elections. The question they will be asking is ”Do you want Three Rivers District Council to use the Batchworth Neighbourhood Plan to help it decide planning applications in the Batchworth Neighbourhood area?”.

As you know, the plan was created with the involvement of local residents and businesses, but it’s been a while since the last consultation so we are keen to let residents know where they can find more information about the plan prior to voting.
