The campaign team lobbied Hertsmere Borourgh councillors as they arrrived for a full council meeting.

Most were happy to take one of our flyers concerning the objections to developing Harts Farm and a few were even prepared to chat. However, a number of Conservative councillors were brusk, refusing flyers.

Understandably, members of the planning commitee were guarded, as speaking out in favour or against an application before it is decided is regarded as predetermination and would prevent them from voting once the application reaches the committee stage.
