The Gilston Area Neighbourhood Plan Referendum
The Referendum for the Gilston Area Neighbourhood Plan will take place on Thursday, May 27, 2021 .
We urge all residents of Hunsdon to VOTE YES by voting at their Village Halls in person on May 27, or using a postal vote.
This IS NOT a vote about whether you agree the housing development across the Gilston Area should be allowed. Residents sadly lost that fight back in 2018 when the Inspector at the Examination in Public agreed the East Herts District Plan could go ahead.
It IS a vote about whether East Herts Council and the developers must take account of the Policies within the Gilston Neighbourhood Plan, written in conjunction with residents of Hunsdon, Eastwick and Gilston over the last two years.
A Vote “YES” gives local people a voice. Once it passes, the Plan becomes a Policy Document and planners and developers have to listen and deliver on their promises of seven Garden Villages with housing of exceptional quality, and 1,000 acres of community owned open spaces. It gives local people a voice.
It’s critical that after two years work on the Gilston Area Neighbourhood Plan we get it over the final hurdle and not leave it all to the planners and developers to do whatever they want in our Neighbourhood.
Updated advice from NHS England regarding COVID vaccines
— People Over 38 who have not yet been vaccinated should now contact the NHS to book a vaccination —
People aged 40 and over can now contact the NHS so they can be vaccinated.
The easiest way to arrange a vaccination is through the national booking service which can be accessed at www.nhs.uk/covid-vaccination.
The system allows patients to choose a time slot and location that suits them.
Anyone unable to book online can call 119 free of charge, anytime between 7am and 11pm seven days a week.
If you are not in the over-38s group, please wait to be contacted.
* Please continue to follow all the guidance to control the virus and save lives *
The vaccine is our best defence against the virus alongside effective social distancing, wearing a mask and washing our hands.
The recent rise in cases and emergence of new variants of the virus also shows that we cannot let our guard down now
