CROP GUNS

Hello Bruno,
I was wondering if you could put an email in your
next addition about the Crop Guns that have been
steadily getting worse on the Stortford Road.
I have complained twice now to UDC. I would like
to know if anyone else has complained or is it just
us????
I have said that we should have a 70% reduction in
our rates because of it!
I wanted to go along the road and knock on
everyone's door about it but I really cannot spare
the time. I feel if everyone complained we may get
somewhere.

Africa. Mon - Fri 8am - 5.30pm

some 12 years now and recently found Sat 9am - 1pm

the articles have proved extremely helpful in [email protected]

research, for which I thank you.
I have been in contact with Patrick Roberts 1305 January 2012 to December 2013
who is a relative and he has passed on much
about the family to me. I was however hoping
to add more to my research and was wondering
if you could please assist with, if it is not too
much trouble to ask, if you could please
perhaps publish a line or two in a future
magazine requesting any of the villagers who
may have some recollection or stories of the
family to share them with me per e-mail
[email protected]. I am certain there are
many who would have memories of the family
as they were very much involved in so much of
the village life through the schools, music and
village life in general. I would be extremely
grateful for any assistance in this regard.

satisfaction and this is why a high percentage of our work comes from children to school every day but in recent months
recommendations and repeat business. the parking of vehicles outside the front of the
school, on the main road has got increasingly worse
www.kingsremovals.co.uk and very dangerous. Certain vehicles are parking
here everyday, on the pavement obstructing the path
and making it difficult to pass on foot, which I
believe is illegal.
As a parent of young children and a resident of
Hatfield Heath I feel that it is up to both the school
and other concerned parents to take action to stop
this parking from happening. I have spoken to the
school office and was informed that the police have
advised to take photographic evidence and forward
it on to them. Is there any other action that can be
taken towards preventing this dangerous parking? I
know that it is mentioned in every school newsletter
but this doesn’t seem to make any difference.
I look forward to hearing any suggestions you may
have to improve this situation.

The Rev. T. W. WARD read himself in as Vicar of the
Parish on July 23rd, 1893. He lost little time in starting
this Parish Magazine. The first number appeared on
SeptemberA 1st. H The appearance of this magazine will
be a surprise to many. I intended to ask for support
before commencing it, but as this would delay
publication for another month I have decided at once to
start it in faith, trusting to you to help me through with it.
The charge to cottagers will be one penny a month, but
as this will not cover the cost of publication and printing,
I shall be thankful to receive any subscriptions in support
of it.
I have found a magazine much appreciated in other
villages, but this venture can only become a success by
everyone helping to make it so by taking it in every
month.
Baptisms, marriages, and burials will be entered, and
