like a skating rink and there are many accidents
going downhill and vehicles stuck, not being
able to drive up the hill. It would also help
vehicles trying to go up and down Friar`s Lane
as well.
If this bin could be replaced I suggest it be
padlocked during the warmer months to avoid
vandalism and opened as soon as weather
conditions deteriorate.

DOG BINS Having looked after our daughter`s
dog on many occasions we realise the need for
a Dog Bin in Friar`s Lane/Chelmsford Rd. area.
Many people, like us, do not walk their dog on
the Heath so are unable to use the bins situated
there.

BUS SHELTERS Over the last couple of years “Wendycot”,Chelmsford Road,
Bruno has been approached by many villagers Hatfield Heath,
asking why the Bus Shelter near the Tea Rooms
wasn't installed. Most asking were people who Bishop’S Stortford, Herts
use the buses, but others who had seen
(particularly elderly) people waiting for the bus Opening Hours
in bad weather. Unless you use the bus you Mon - Fri 8am - 5.30pm
don`t realise how unpleasant it can be waiting
in the wind and rain. Sat 9am - 1pm
Are the Bus Shelters still available and if so
would you reconsider the need for one? Tel: 01279 730 274
Many thanks
