Councillors will convene at Hitchin Town Hall to sign off on a proposal for £1,500 worth of funding to go to the charity Resolve.

Resolve supports the treatment and rehabilitation of people suffering from substance and alcohol misuse problems.

Resolve's primary aim is to assist clients to move to a manageable positive lifestyle, contributing to and enhancing the communities within which they live. 

Funding is being requested towards the costs of key workers who run the Group Therapy and Key Work Sessions, which will include supporting Hitchin clients. 

According to their application currently there are no statutory or community drug and alcohol treatment day services in North Herts, north of Stevenage, other than Resolve.

Geographically, 33% of their clients come from Welwyn Garden City, 13% from Letchworth, 12% from Hitchin, and 12% from Stevenage. 

In addition to aggreging to support Resolve, the meeting will also hear updates from Hitchin Bid and from Jeff Clayton, the Strategy & Programme Manager for Highways Implementation, Hertfordshire County Council.

Mr Clayton will cover the Bus Service Improvement Plan (BSIP) infrastructure for Queen Street bus stop, recap on 20mph zoning in 2024-25 and touch on the issue of volumes and safe travel routes at junctions.
