We’re thrilled to announce the reopening of the refurbished play park and the addition of a brand-new outdoor gym exercise station and table tennis table—all thanks to a successful EHDC
shared prosperity fund grant secured by Datchworth Parish Council.
The improved play park offers a safer, more engaging space for children to enjoy, with refreshed equipment and surfaces. Meanwhile, the outdoor gym station provides a free, accessible way for residents to stay active and enjoy the fresh air.
This project was made possible through dedicated funding efforts, ensuring that our community has modern, inclusive, and fun spaces for all ages.
Come down, check out the new facilities, and enjoy Datchworth’s revitalized outdoor spaces.
We’re pleased to say that the construction of the community car park at Datchworth crossroads is getting underway this week. Having received planning permission, and after 18 months of extensive legal and administrative work, the car park will be cleared and rebuilt.
By the end of the summer we’ll have a fully functioning car park with a storage unit and provision for electric vehicle charging points. It will make that part of our village safer and less cluttered as it will offer parking for visitors to the Green and, we hope, a boost to the local businesses; the pubs, shop and coffee shop.
We are very sad to announce the death of Councillor John Wringe, on Saturday 9th December 2023.
John lived in Datchworth for more than thirty years and was involved in many aspects of village life.
He was the most enthusiastic, charming, witty and wise man, and he’ll be very much missed by many; his wife Delith and his two sons, his wider family, his many friends, neighbours, work colleagues, and all those involved in the parish council.
