1,500 back petition for Hertfordshire referendum on county of sanctuary status (opens the original)
Read excerpt
More than 1,000 residents have backed a new petition calling for a Hertfordshire-wide referendum on any county council decision to seek county of sanctuary status. Hertfordshire County Council does not yet have any formal plans to pursue council of sanctuary status, which would signal the council’s commitment to refugees and asylum seekers.

Hertfordshire Savercard cuts could cost families hundreds more in bus fares (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Changes to Hertfordshire’s Savercard scheme that are set to cost some residents hundreds of pounds more in bus fares have prompted calls for a review.

Hertfordshire backs plans to explore council of sanctuary status (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A Labour councillor’s call for Hertfordshire to consider becoming a council of sanctuary has been supported. Cllr Alistair Willoughby (Labour, Baldock and Letchworth East) put the proposal to the county council’s public health and community safety cabinet panel on Monday, September 14. As a result of the vote, the cabinet will now be asked to determine whether the council should seek further information and consider working towards “council of sanctuary” accreditation.
