Great Amwell Parish Council meets every month (second Thursday). However, no meeting is held in August.
Great Amwell Parish Council has:
- made representation to the local County Councillor (Steven Watson) regarding flooding in Station Road; despite a resident reporting the issue to the Highways Authority, works to clear the road gulley etc have either not been undertaken or need to be undertaken more frequently; Councillor Watson was requested to raise this matter with the relevant service (or contractor) at his Authority. The Parish Council also sought a detailed explanation of why flooding was still occurring and information on action proposed to alleviate/address the problem. No meaningful response has been received at the time of writing this article; and
- approved a contractor to undertake cleaning and repair/maintenance works to the War Memorial in Lower Road; the works are scheduled to commence on 6 October 2025.
Parishioners may be interested to learn that East Herts District Council recognises that community groups, including schools, Scout and Guide groups, adult organisations such as WI and Rotary Clubs, and annual organised community clean ups add a huge amount of value to looking after and improving the local environment. If you are part of a community group, school or are organising a community ‘tidy up’, the District Council has litter picking equipment available to loan, free of charge, to community groups on request. This equipment is available to borrow on a first come first served basis. It requires a completed equipment booking form and a minimum of two weeks’ notice before an event to organise equipment. To hire equipment, please see its Community Litter Picking Form page.
