Do you want to get involved and volunteer?
You don't need to be a planning expert. You don't need to give up your evenings.
Most of what makes a campaign like this work is ordinary people doing small things at the right moment.
If you have particular skills
We're a group of residents, and we're missing expertise in plenty of areas. If any of the following is your world, we'd love to hear from you:
Planning, law or surveying — help us read the technical documents properly
Ecology or hydrology — particularly anything on chalk streams and the River Mimram
Local history — Welwyn Garden City's origins matter more to this case than you might expect
Design, photography or video — helping people see what's proposed
Writing or press — turning research into something readable
Community organising — you know how to get people in a room
You don't need to be qualified. If you're interested and willing to read, that's most of it.
What we won't ask you to do
We won't ask for money. We won't put your name on anything without asking. We won't share your details with anyone else. And if you'd rather help quietly, that's completely fine — plenty of people do.
