Hertford North frontage
I'm new here so bear with me, a couple of Sundays ago while at Hertford North I was talking to a member of a local group who as it was explained to me were intending on smarting up Hertford as it's a conservation area.
Part of this discussion was centred around the small garden by the ATM at Hertford North and improving it by means of painting the small fence, putting in plants etc...
If anyone is familiar with this local group, please could they pm me as I may be able to help them.

The North station is outside the conservation area.

Okay, if you don't mind me asking would any local groups be interested in tidying up the station frontage ie the smallish garden by the TVM and taxi rank?
I know a generous Hertford resident has planted a couple of plants but there still needs to be lot of work done to the area - I can't comment yet on FCC and their approach but I'm sure if a group was interested then I'm sure backing could be agreed from FCC.
On the other hand, seeing as Hertford North already has the hanging basket brackets in the booking hall, I think if they were brought back then it would brighten up the area - am I alone in thinking this?
I've asked management as Letchworth has them on the platforms due to local funding, please correct me here but what are the chances of Hertford North getting some local funding to get them?
I'm not a local so haven't a clue on how the local government works.

Have you tried contacting the Hertford Civic Society? (http://www.hertfordcivicsociety.org.uk) They have been instrumental in many enviromental schemes over the years, and would certainly be interested in discussing this with you.

Have you thought of Mudlarks, based in Hertford?

I think it would be worth contacting Vic and asking.
