Transfer The Green, Stones Orchard and the allotments to Croxley Green Parish Council

Sarah Nelmes, Leader of Three Rivers District Council

This petition asks for the following land to be transferred from Three Rivers District Council to Croxley Green Parish Council:

The Green
Stones Orchard
Allotments in Croxley Green

Chris Mitchell, Green Party candidate for Dickinsons ward, said:

"I have been a Parish Councillor for 11 years. The Parish is the closest level of government to residents. Its councillors volunteer their time and have the community’s best interests at heart. The land would be best owned and managed by The Parish Council so it can continue to hold its wonderful events and safeguard it into the future.”

The land is enjoyed by many residents and it is already maintained by the Parish Council. The Parish Council maintains the land at no cost to the District Council, yet has to pay to hold events such as the Dog Show, the Wassail and the New Year's Eve firework display. The Parish Council is also an important funder of the Revels and Croxfest held on The Green.

The Parish Council has previously requested the transfer of The Green and Stones Orchard from Three Rivers District Council. Although District Councillors have given verbal support, the Lib Dem-run Council has resisted the requests so far as there was ‘not enough support'.

It is normal practice for local amenity land to be owned and managed by Parish Councils, like elsewhere in the country. The Parish Council was created in 1986 after the last major Local Government reorganisation took place in 1974.

Please show your support by signing this petition!
