Important natural features are under threat and Garden City principles are being ignored by the very people that are supposed to be protecting them
It is extremely important to protect any heritage at risk. Are the medieval Oak pollarded hedges protected for example? These are to be found in the site north of Letchworth Grange next to the Greenway and will be threatened if the LG1 development goes ahead. If these hedges are destroyed that would be a travesty!
In addition, Letchworth being developed as a Garden City seems to be an important heritage of the last century and the blatant disregard for the Garden City principles for some extremely dubious 'justifications' by the Heritage Foundation is unforgivable. Letchworth is supposed to be governed for the people, not to make profit to be used by the few. The notion of elected governors was supposed to protect Letchworth from the very activities that appear to be going on now.
