Our exciting Redbourn House Portico project is progressing well. Redbourn Parish Council has now given landlord’s permission for the erection of the Portico in the Museum garden and we are working on an application to St Albans District Council for Planning Permission.
To keep our costs down we are endeavouring to use local skills where possible and to this end a band of willing volunteers met recently to lay out the portico stones in the museum car park (see photograph). Ken Hart, a retired structural engineer, has kindly agreed to draw up the calculations thus ensuring the portico is erected to the relevant standards and Austin Trueman, a business friend, has agreed to add his professional indemnity to the project.
