It probably won’t surprise you that the top scoring issue relates to the planned freight terminal on the old Radlett airfield in Park Street. Likewise, the pressures caused by development in Radlett were bound to be high on the list. Some of you added narrative responses. Here’s a few of them:
Give more teeth to planning officers who seem incapable of stopping overdevelopment at the expense of the greenness of the area. Stop concreting over front gardens. Plant more trees. The state of verges is appalling with thoughtless drivers parking on them with impunity.
NHS Free at the point of care. No privatization not even sneaky its not really privatization privatization.
Potential mansion tax, inheritance tax.
No Free Schools to be built. Rather schools built where they are actually needed not as some form of vanity project or special interest group intent on avoiding national governance or indeed national curriculum.
Rail Freight!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks to all of you who completed the survey. Don’t forget to vote!
