The Arlesey Community Events Group would like to thank everyone for making this years Summer Fete such a fantastic day. It wouldn’t have been possible to put the Fete on without the help of a number of local people so we’d especially like to thank: J  on Boys for organising the music stage and the Firewalk. The Firewalk has raised at least £1600, and half of this will be donated to MacMillan Cancer Support Robert Gifford for being the Voice of the Fete Patricia and David who judged the entries for the craft/ horticulture show All the people who donated such a fabulous array of raffle prizes Keith Hirst for his help directing traffic as the 70+ traders arrived to set up for the Fete Dulcie McLerie for her help with bringing the Firewalk to the attention of the local press Steve Maddox for once again producing an amazing Fete programme. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, we have had to cancel the Race Night booked for October 14th. Sorry to let down those who were planning on attending. Our next event will be the Christmas Fayre & Lights switch on on Saturday November 25th. If you’d like to attend please contact the Events Group at [email protected] to the Events Group We would like to say a huge thank you to Sam Ward and the committee for the time and effort they have put in to make this years Summer Fair bigger and better. Hopefully the community as a whole appreciates the hard work that has gone in to making a most enjoyable time for the residents of Arlesey I know we do.

ATC formerly objected to the plan. We consider there to be serious flaws in the process by which the sites have been proposed for development, which undermines the principles behind the draft itself. An overriding lack of consistent links between the site assessments and the site allocations proposed within Draft Local Plan is evident, and it is the Town Councils opinion that site NLP419 is neither sustainable or warranted. There is more information regarding our objections in the minutes of the Extraordinary meeting of ATC held on 15th August 2017. These can be viewed via the ATC website by clicking here or in person at the office. Arlesey Neighbourhood Plan: This is distinct from the Local Plan and ref
