Mudlarks Community GardenSite Report January 2019

Mudlarks Allotments:

The late Autumn saw the allotments have some beautiful days, with an amazingabundance of pumpkins and squashes, which we used to make soup for our annualharvest festival. Unfortunately, this was a very wet day, but well attended with ourlocal band playing Jazz music. There were plenty of activities to join in with, juicingapples, making Halloween masks, dancing and just generally socialising with new and oldfriends of Mudlarks. It was here we showcased our first Mudlarks Apple juice, made withapples donated from around Hertford, Christmas cards and tea towels.As winter approached, we did a lot of maintenance around the site, painting gates,mending posts, making sure the greenhouses were cleaned, the growing beds wereweeded, and the birds had plenty of food. We are in the process of digging over one ofour allotments ready to grow our own willow, which we will be used during the wintermonths to make wreaths, bird feeders and obelisks.In December we made our famous Reindeer, and the allotments saw us have our annualwreath making day, using local sourced greenery and adornments of fir cones, teaselsand old mans beard. We had 24 people making their wreath to take home, with mulledwine and mince pies to see us though a fantastic day.As we move in to a new year, we are busy planning what we are going to grow, andchopping fresh logs ready to dry for next winter.

Hertford Castle

The Rose GardenThe work cutting back the roses began towards the end of October as the first frosts started toaffect the blooms. These have now been cut back for the winter, but will require a further thinningout as we go into February.The box hedging survived the dry weather of the summer, and is looking healthy into the newyear.Plenty of weeding has been done over the autumn months and the beds are looking quite tidy,ready for the crocuses and tulips to show their heads. More crocuses were planted this year toenhance the spring display.

The Moat GardenThis is looking a little bare now as we have removed all the shrubs and bulbs. The bed has beendug over on a number of occasions in an attempt to combat the weeds and remove the roots ofthe ground elder. The next step is to remove the top two to three inches of soil in order to takeout more of the roots, and start to prepare the ground for replanting. The aim is to startreplanting in the spring once the ground is warm enough to take the new plants. This will alsoinclude the round bed further down in the Garden.

The Weatherspoons Gate projectThis area has been cutback and tidied and well weeded over the past three months, so as to allowspace for the fresh spring growth. The fence along that side is still damaged, but when restored, aplanting plan can be considered.

St Leonard’sPlenty of work has been carried out over the Autumn to weed and redefine the beds; moredaffodil bulbs have been planted, and some of the older shrubs have been cutback.As to the spring, there will continue to be a programme of managing some of the larger shrubs,which have become somewhat leggy, and a review of the overall planting will take place.

Holy TrinityThe church has also received a programme of cutting back and weeding this Autumn, and aspreviously mentioned a number of the older shrubs have been cutback from the walls to allowfresh growth and some light into some of the over crowded beds. Maintenance will continue toensure the surrounding beds are well maintained.

North Road Plotholders Group

Report to Community Services Committee � February 2019

1. Activity on site

This time of year is normally quiet on the allotments. The weather has been warmer than usual, particularly after last winter, so our members have been able to prepare the ground ready for the next planting season.

Work has now started on our Easy Access plot and we are confident that it will be ready in plenty of time to start using in the spring. We have already bought some of the equipment that we will need. The cabin for the compost toilets will be delivered and erected in early February, so that we can fit it out and install the necessary equipment.

The water pipe has been laid ready to plumb in the water trough and sink.

We will be installing a water trough in the front corner of the plot, together with a sink. Most of the plot will be fenced.

Other Activity. Our monthly work mornings will be starting in February. Amongst other things, we intend to prune some of the largerfruit trees around the site and to repair the fence around the orchard. We will also be repairing some of the track around the site.

2. Lettings and vacancies

We currently have one vacant plot, with five people on the waiting list. We have offered the plot to one of those on the list and by the time of the committee meeting it will probably be let.

Progress at mid January. Plot has been levelled and ground level raised. Water pipe laid.

The next stage is to install terracing boards, then lay ground cover and �Type 1� crushed granite to provide a firm surface.

This is the base for thecompost toilet.

Community services committee lovely grub garden report 230119 V1

LOVELY GRUB GARDEN REPORT For the Hertford Town Council Community Services Committee

23rd January 2019

Community Engagement: We continue to encourage visitors from the Hertford Food Bank, with view to “growing their own”. More leaflets have been left at HFB.

We also propose the newsletter will be distributed to local residents, with regularly updated information about the garden, the aim to draw in keen green-fingered residents to join the group. The frequency of this distribution is yet to be decided.

This last quarter has been quiet as expected at the garden due to the time of year. We have continued with the core group of committee volunteers together with a few regular visitors. Our Christmas celebration this year, on Friday 14th December consisted of mince pies, spiced biscuits, and of course mulled wine.

Garden Activity:We continue to open the garden every week, on Friday and the third Saturday in every month, through the winter until the clocks change in March. The members also meet for a planning/update meeting once a month as agreed at the last AGM.

In preparation for the next growing season, the edible hedge has been weeded, pruned and fed utilising compost from the compost bins on site as well as potash. We have been monitoring the overwintering plants: Kale, Cabbage, Broccoli, Chard, Spinach, Winter Salads, Onions, Broad beans and stored potatoes.

We are now planning for the next growing season and will be seed planting in the poly tunnel in the next few weeks. We will be using saved seeds from last year for either planting out or using as a seed exchange at the next event. Some seeds still need to be purchased however.

Some Spring 2019 investment requirements: Seed potatoes Seed compost Manure Various seeds Maintenance of garden structures. Public liability insurance (£120 approx) Composting/ camping toilet.

The garden’s structures will require maintenance this next year. The outside of the summer house needs painting and the outsides of the raised beds are starting to deteriorate, the cold frame is also falling apart. We plan to talk to Herts Groundwork Trust for advice with regard to the raised beds and how best to maintain them.

REPORT TO COMMUNITY SERVICES COMMITTEE – 11th FEBRUARY 2019

AGENDA ITEM 8(b) – REVIEW OF CEMETERY FEES

1. PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

To invite Committee to consider the rates for Cemetery fees for the period 1st April 2019 to 31st March 2020.

2. INFORMATION

Of the other councils in East Herts operating cemeteries, none will be increasing their fees beyond inflation for 2019/20. A comparison of fees with nearby cemeteries is shown at Appendix A

This Council has made provision for an inflationary 2.8% increase for most of the expenditure in its budget for 2019/20. In line with this provision to cover increased costs, it is recommended that the Council increases its Cemetery fees by 2.8% for the financial year 2019/20.

Attached at Appendix B is the recommended scale of charges for the Cemetery for 2019/20.

3. RECOMMENDATIONS

It is RECOMMENDED that:

a. The Committee approves the proposed increase in cemetery fees for 2019/20.

b. The Committee notes a report.

Active and successful Youth Engagement in place

CS

Progress as of January 2019:

Following the consultation with student representatives in September 2017, the students’ opinions are being considered in the formulation of Neighbourhood Plan policies, which is currently ongoing.

Contacts have been established with the YC Hertfordshire agency (previously Youth Connexions) in regards to a set of improvements for young people in Hertford, for which HTC and YC Hertfordshire could work collaboratively. Hertford Town Council could support these improvements through its Community Grants and the New Homes Bonus fund.

No further update received from the YC Hertfordshire agency since the last meeting in May 2018.

As suggested by members in November, Civic Administration manager contacted Mudlarks to see if they would be able to engage with some young people, possibly through Future Hope organisation. As stated by Mudlarks they fully support the council’s sentiment of wanting to work with young people, but it is not something that Mudlarks will be able to instigate unfortunately.Local horticulture colleges were also contacted to see if any student from Hertford would be interested to run some horticulture project, possibly funded with New Home Bonus grant. Awaiting response.

OBJECTIVE: Support the town centre and business community, to ensure its ongoing viabilityAction Required Success Criteria Responsible CommitteeIn the Castle Grounds, planting improvements will be made.

Appropriate improvements made in keeping with the grounds of a listed building. Positive customer and public feedback.
