Remember that exhilarating feeling of timing one outside off through the covers? "Batted!"
Or stopping a crucial boundary to save a game and earning a righteous pint?

A powerful thread from Mandeville residential Deri Hughes on what the fencing off of @RichardHale2017 sports field means to the community and what will be lost as a consequence.
#lemande

[Deri @DeriHughes]

@JanGoodeve, thank you for this. I live on Mandeville Road now. This fence has crushed us.

I wanted to give you some context from the local community. Apologies for the long thread!

I'd love to talk with you if you were open to that.

@PeterRuffles you may be interested too.

[Le Mande @le_mande]

Sadness and disappointment across the community as @RichardHale2017 start the process of fencing off their much loved sports field.

Help @hertscc learn more about why you do or don't use the buses...

[Hertfordshire County Council @hertscc]

We would like to know how people in Hertfordshire use the bus and how this may change following the coronavirus pandemic. We're keen to know what you prioritise when using the bus or, if you don’t use the bus very often, why not?

Cautionary tale. If you're not a baby you shouldn't be in the baby swings.

[Le Mande @le_mande]

@TheVinceWood Excellent idea.

[Hornsmill Community @hornsmill]

Don't forget it's polling day today.

Voting for County Councillor and Police & Crime Commissioner.

You don't need a polling card or ID and if you forget your face covering the staff will give you a funky orange one with a visor which you can take away. Oooooh.

[Le Mande @le_mande]

Hope you're ok @TheVinceWood. It's not always a bed of roses.

Such wonderful weather for the first day of the Easter break and the easing of the pandemic measures.

[Le Mande @le_mande]

@Herts_Highways Really sad to have lost some of the mature trees in the photo on the left.
#lemande

[Le Mande @le_mande]

Don't forget Brickendon Lane is closed tomorrow until 15 March.
#lemande

[Hertfordshire Journeys @Herts_Highways]

#Hertford Brickendon Lane will be closed 9:30am - 4pm between 20 February - 15 March for tree cutting and investigation works. More information: https://t.co/WxBwbygll0

[Le Mande @le_mande]

Roadworks on Brickendon Lane after tree removal.
How it started. How it's going.
#lemande

[Le Mande @le_mande]

@codek1 A front row seat to observe the trees being destroyed. Necessary perhaps but sad nevertheless.
#lemande

[Le Mande @le_mande]

Ongoing work removing trees and fences means that Brickendon Lane remains closed.
#lemande

[Le Mande @le_mande]

@codek1 Brickendon Lane is not meant to be accessible to vehicles over 7.5 tonnes - possibly due to the Bayford Brook tunnel? @Herts_Highways

#lemande

[Le Mande @le_mande]

Mystery lockdown mud movements observed.
Do you know what is going on? Perhaps someone at A T Bone might know.
#lemande

[Dan Keeley @codek1]

@le_mande @EastHerts @DiscHertford the last few days there's been a ridiculous number of large lorries going up and down brickendon lane. whats going on? I just saw 3 at the same time. All containing mud by the look of it.
