Funding for legal representation: You may have read that WHBC has now agreed to fund its own separate representation at the Public Inquiry, which is excellent news.

New Barnfield Action Fund has had donations from North Mymms Green Belt Society, Hatfield Town Council and WHBC but these will not be enough, and that is why HAI is asking for donations from our supporters. Many thanks to all those who have already donated!
