We are pleased to report that all of
our proposed repairs to signposts and
bridges
along the Parish footpaths have been
approved under the P3 (Parish Paths
Partnership) scheme.
On August 24th we duly ventured out
into the pouring rain with Shirley
Anglin from Essex CC Highways,
equipped with a variety of digging and
tamping tools, to install our very first
waymarker post. In fact, we managed
to put up a total of 5 posts on the day
and have subsequently done two
others perhaps you’ll spot them when
you are out and about

Footpaths of Hatfield Heath

An informative talk by Stella and Ian Hughes on the

‘Footpaths of Hatfield Heath’ defined a historical and

J. Day & Son current perspective. An introductory opening of their
personal involvement in walking was supported by a
series of photographs. These covered trips taken locally,
nationally and internationally demonstrating an interest
and commitment which is inherent in the work which they

are carrying out as our Footpath Wardens.

The background to how footpaths provided a commuter

Station Road, Bishop’s Stortford route between farms and villages and the effect of the
18/19 Century enclosure acts was described in some
detail. An evening divided into a number of parts included

references to signage, types of rights of way and the use of

local authority maps. Using a range of dated maps to

illustrate footpath details reflecting interesting

comparisons of how some footpaths appeared to have

changed. The maintenance responsibilities of footpaths for

Councils, Farmers and Walkers was highlighted and

detailed maps of local routes shown. Four compass points

of Hatfield Heath footpaths generated facts and figures to

this extent. The Parish Paths Partnership was described

with reference to a calendar of meetings and further

arrangements. This also applied to a series of planned

walks, two have already been explored and printed in the

magazine and on the Parish Council website defining

Bishop’s Stortford 01279 654 555 routes and places of interest along the way.
The detailed work produced for these maps is
symptomatic of the way in which Stella and Ian have

Edmonton 0208 807 3712 approached the importance that they place upon their
appointment as Wardens. A vote of thanks from the
meeting was given by the Chairman with a session of

www.jdayandson.co.uk questions to conclude the evening.

working on engines led to a course at Pontefract which he

passed as a Leading Hand. He returned to Chatham and

was placed on an overseas draft but decided to bring his

marriage forward before embarking on the Cape Town

Castle sailing to Bombay (now Mumbai). Transferred to

an LCT 384 and promoted to Petty Officer. (LCT 384 a

Landing Craft Tank built in Middlesbrough and launched

in 1942 with a Crew of 28). Sailed from Bombay to the

tip of India forming part of a combined task force

intending to invade Japan. However the bombing of

Hiroshima and Nagasaki brought an end to hostilities.

His ship then took part in liberating and repatriating

Prisoners of War from Changi jail, men who had worked

on the notorious Burma railway. He vividly remembers

having to ration food to those rescued who had been

emaciated during captivity. His ship went from

Singapore to the Dutch East Indies where he was attached

to the Aircraft Carrier, HMS Indomitable returning to the

British Isles via Colombo, Aden and Gibraltar in 1945.

He was demobbed in 1946 and after the war set up a

building business partnership Fordham and Pike. A

contract with Dove Brothers provided a most interesting

job putting a new lift shaft in St Pauls Cathedral (1972)

using engineering principles not relying on a bricklayer’s

level. Work followed for Copes Bank (Edward Heath

laying the Foundation Stone), 11 blocks of flats in

Tottenham, a Synagogue in a garden in Romford, pubs

and all sorts. Lived in Leyton and Woodford Green

finally moving to Hatfield Heath some 8 years ago.

1481. HIGHWAYS

a. Update on Highways Issues
1. Mini roundabout scheme A1060/B183 junction.

This scheme has gone through the Local
Highways Panel (LHP) and funding has been
Allocated for construction in this financial year
subject to any unforeseen technical reasons.

2. Revised junction Stortford Road Please call Isabela on
A1060/Sawbridgeworth Road. 07955 658 347 or 01279 902 991

This scheme is in detailed design stage and two 15102 Dec 15
alternatives are expected to be completed by end

of September and presented to the Parish Council

For approval. There is no construction funding

for this project in this financial year.

3. Speed limit Sheering to Hatfield Heath.

It is thought unlikely that this stretch of road will
meet the criteria for a 40mph limit, but EJ will ask

to review the reasons for the refusal.

4. Pedestrian Crossing in centre of Hatfield Heath BOOTCAMPS, KETTLEBELLS AND
This scheme was previously refused as not

meeting the criteria for pedestrian crossings. ML
advised the meeting that the Parish Council were

about to install hard standing alongside Church

parking. This will allow parents to park in order to The most effective way to lose weight, get fit and burn big calories!!

to get to school. This has been agreed with the
Lord of the Manor. ML asked as an alternative to

a pedestrian crossing, to have traffic light Mondays 9.15-10am – INSANITY @ Hatfield Heath Village Hall
controlled crossing as in Sheering. The response Weds 9.15-10am Kettlebell Bootcamp @ Farm studio
is that this type of crossing requires a higher set
of criteria than a pedestrian crossing so would be Thursdays 7-7.45pm Bootcamp @ Hatfield Heath Village Hall
Fridays 9.15-10am – Bootcamp @ Hatfield Heath Village Hall

failed. Parish Council are to submit a further Please email/call regarding the location of “Farm Studio” in Hatfield Heath

to be approved, street lighting would be Special Offer

paramount to resolving this issue. Prior to the
15095 Aug 2016 resolution of ownership, ECC agreed to look into
suitable remedial works assuming that eventually
ownership is resolved with either the Lord of the Manor
obtaining ownership or the possibility of ECC adopting
the island. One potential concern is if the island is
reduced by too much, it creates a safety issue of drivers
and passengers alighting from parked cars alongside
the island being closer to the A1060.

A Message from
Stewart Gibbs

It is with regret that I have stepped
down as Vicar of Holy Trinity
with effect from September. It
has been a great privilege serving
as minister here. I have had the
joy of working with some
wonderful people.

I move to work as a teacher of Classics at
Brentwood School. This will give me more time
to devote to my work at St. Mellitus College.
and to support my wife, Sam, in her own new
phase of ministry.

In due course I will become assistant minister in
Sam’s parishes.

Featuring a selection of superb photos
from across Essex and Hertfordshire

The cover photograph is of a sunset over St Mary's
Church in Saffron Walden.

The A3 (11”x16”) format has been improved to
make it easier to read the days of the week.
With one month per page plus
space to record appointments each day.

Our much loved calendar illustrates the beauty,
diversity and heritage of the area which would be
threatened by proposals to expand Stansted Airport
