Happy Friday, Broxbourne! ☀️
The weekend is here, and while Remembrance Sunday will be the focus across our communities, there isn’t a lot happening between now and then. We’re also keeping an eye on local developments - including the closure of Costa Coffee in Cheshunt and early discussions around Hertfordshire’s future under the Local Government Reorganisation process, but for now, we’re diving straight into what’s on.
As always, if there’s an event we’ve missed, let us know so we can keep Broxtown as the most complete guide to what’s happening locally.
Last Call! Nominations for the Broxtown Community Champion close at 8pm tonight following the one-week extension. After that, we’ll begin reviewing all nominees.
If you haven’t submitted yet, now’s your chance → https://tally.so/r/w78R0L
A huge thank you to everyone who has already put names forward, we’ve seen some truly inspiring local figures come through. And remember: you can nominate yourself. If you contribute to your community, you deserve to be recognised.
