SADC to form Highfield Parish Council so that Highfield has a voice and democracy.

The Issue

I the undersigned support and want the creation of Highfield Parish Council bounded by Hixberry Lane to the East; Alban Way to the North; Hill End Lane to the West and the Hill End District Council Ward boundary to the South.

To participate in this petition you must live on, one of the roads as detailed below. We also need at least 7.5% of the 1200 homes to agree and participate for SADC to take note and action. 

About Highfield Ward

This lovely green space is popular with dog walkers and cyclists from all over St Albans. It was created in 1996 after Cell Barnes and Hill End mental hospitals were closed and redeveloped and some of their vast grounds were transformed into what is now Highfield Park.

in December 2022 - Following a review, St Albans District Council (SADC) has decided that Highfield must become unparished, meaning we have 1200 homes with no voice or democracy, including. Your current Highfield Cllrs and Colney Heath Parish Council support this petion:

  •  Less chance to protect and support Highfield Park
  • Your precept won’t be spent in Highfield 
  •  Limited representation
  • No voice to be heard
  • No rights to be formally consulted 
  • Limited ability to affect SADC decision making

WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:

ASK SADC TO FORM HIGHFIELD PARISH COUNCIL - HERE IS WHY:

  • 100% of your precept (the money you pay to the Parish Council) will be spent to benefit Highfield.
  • Highfield identity enhanced and formally recognised
  • More chances to promote and support Highfield Park
  • Your precept will be lower
  • Highfield represented at all levels
