About us
Background
Former Cllr Ivan Hickmott and Cllr Teresa Finnigan set up a working party at the end of 2017, to look at ways the High Street can better serve its residents, local businesses, and visitors.
We engaged with local businesses, residents, and visitors at the 2017 Christmas Markets event to see what they thought and if they had any suggestions or ideas going forward.
Following on from this, two workshops took place with local business, community groups and residents back in January and March 2019 which generated a whole raft of initiatives and an action list which FOTHS are currently working towards (see below).
At the beginning 2021, we agreed with the parish council that we would operate both as a community group and as an independent body. We will continue to need parish council support, and sometimes approval for specific initiatives.
Terms of Reference/Charter
An independent body to act as a sounding-board for business owners, retailers and residents of the High Street, and the wider Redbourn community.
To campaign and lobby for a revitalised High Street to the Parish Council, St Albans District Council, Hertfordshire County Council and other relevant bodies.
To lead and support specific initiatives which will contribute towards fulfilling our vision for the High Street.
We have a core group of “Friends” meeting regularly, made up of a blend of independent retailers, small businesses and residents from both the High Street itself and the wider Redbourn community.
We’re always looking for new volunteers to bring enthusiasm and fresh ideas to FOTHS.
If you would like to get involved with FOTHS then please do contact Cllr Teresa Finnigan
