Summary

The Hertfordshire County Council met to discuss a range of issues, including a petition to keep street lights on at night, devolution, and revisions to the council's constitution. The council also paid tribute to former Councillor Tony Dodd, and appointed Councillor Caroline Clapper as the Vice-Chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

Tributes to former Councillor Tony Dodd

The council began with tributes to former Councillor Tony Dodd, who served as a Conservative County Councillor for the Sawbridgeworth area from 2001 to 2009. Councillor Dodd also served on East Hart's District Council from 1989 to 2011, and served three times as mayor.

Councillor Eric Buckmaster said that Councillor Dodd helped establish town twinning with Brice-Uman near Paris, and that his wife, Sue, and all of his extended family could rightly be proud of his service, his achievements, and contribution to Sawbridgeworth, the district, and the county council.

Petition regarding street lighting

The council received a public petition from a Mr John Dowdle, requesting that the council leave all street lights on at night. Mr Dowdle argued that the policy of dimming and switching off street lighting could heighten anxiety and fear, particularly for women, and that the cost savings were insignificant compared to the level of anxiety being caused.

Councillor Stephen Giles-Medhurst OBE, Executive member for Highways, moved a motion to undertake a review of the street lighting policy, assessing its impact on all aspects, in consultation with the police and other authorities. He clarified that the policy did not involve turning street lights off at 9pm, as some residents had been led to believe, but rather dimming them at 1am.

Councillor Helen Campbell seconded the motion, emphasising that there was no new policy, but simply an adjustment to a policy implemented by the previous Conservative administration in 2012. She urged residents to report any street lights that were not working.

The motion was carried with 70 votes in favour and one abstention.

Appointment of a Vice-Chair of the Council's Overview and Scrutiny Committee

Councillor Jarvis moved a motion to appoint Councillor Caroline Clapper as the Reform UK Group vice chair of the Overview and Scrutiny Committee, which was carried.

Devolution for Hertfordshire

Councillor Jarvis introduced a report on devolution for Hertfordshire, highlighting the government's devolution strategy and the opportunities for Hertfordshire to benefit from a mayoral strategic authority1. He expressed disappointment that the Conservatives were backpedalling on devolution.

Councillor Richard Roberts, Leader, Conservative Group, moved an amendment, arguing that the government doesn't really know what it's doing with the devolution process and that Hertfordshire should not leap on board without a timeline or an investment package.

Councillor Curtis stated that the Labour government's proposals for strategic authorities were just a guise of local empowerment and that these authorities would be there to deliver on that government's priorities, but paid for by people in Hertfordshire paying an additional precept on top of all the council tax that they already pay.

Councillor Taylor said that the previous Conservative government increased taxes to the highest proportion of national income since the Second World War because of their economic failures and the mismanagement of our economy.

The Conservative amendment was defeated, and the original motion was carried.

Motions on Notice

The council debated three motions on notice:

Conservative Group motion on the Autumn Budget

Councillor John Graham moved a motion criticising the government's Autumn Budget, arguing that it would disproportionately disadvantage Hertfordshire residents. The motion called for a reduction in taxes, a report on the Hertfordshire economy, surveys of high street businesses, and letters to the Chancellor and Secretary of State demanding clarity on local government reorganisation.

Councillor Jarvis criticised the motion as a rambling rant and said that the Conservatives were suggesting that the Labour government should make the same mistakes as they did.

Councillor Bell said that Councillor Graham and Councillor Curtis had no shame and that they should apologise for 14 years of failure of the Conservative government.

The motion was defeated with 37 votes against and 33 in favour.

Reform UK Group motion on speed limits outside Sherrards Wood School

Councillor Michael Blissett moved a motion requesting a reduction in the speed limit outside Sherrards Wood School from 70mph to 40mph. He expressed disbelief that Hertfordshire would actually have a 70 mph speed limit outside the school.

Councillor Stephen Giles-Medhurst moved a Liberal Democrat amendment, stating that the authority had already moved quickly to get the speed limit reduced to 40mph and that doing a temporary traffic regulation order2 would delay the permanent order.

Councillor Tony Kingsbury supported the motion and thanked Councillor Blissett for accepting his amendment.

Councillor Cowley said that the Conservative group would not be supporting the Liberal Democrat amendment because they worried that the two amendments both being in the same motion conflict the overall goals of the motion.

The Liberal Democrat amendment was carried, and the motion, as doubly amended, was carried with one abstention.

Labour Group motion on street lighting policy

Councillor Alistair Willoughby proposed a motion calling for a county-wide review of street lighting policy, looking at the real-world impact on safety, accessibility, health, and equality. He argued that street lighting was more than an infrastructure issue and that it affected how people felt and interacted in their own communities.

Councillor Peter Collier moved a Reform UK amendment, proposing the use of solar panels fitted on top of lampposts with PIRs3 to activate the lights when someone is nearby.

Councillor Matt Cowley moved a Conservative amendment, proposing that councillors should be able to install new street lighting using their highways locality budget4.

Councillor Giles-Medhurst said that the Liberal Democrats would be supporting the Labour motion but not the amendments.

Councillor Wendy Rouse said that she had been installing solar walkway lights for just a few thousand pounds each and that the PIR system should be considered particularly for residents who may require additional lighting.

The Reform UK and Conservative amendments were lost, and the substantive motion was carried.
