It is with great sadness that we have learnt of the passing of Colonel (Rtd) Derek H Bristow OBE DL MStJ, Freeman of Huntingdon.

Colonel Bristow was awarded Freedom of the Town in 2022 in recognition of his outstanding service to the Town of Huntingdon, having dedicated decades of service to many local organisations. He was a highly regarded gentleman by all who had the pleasure of working alongside him.

Derek has served, supported and inspired so many people in the local community and beyond. His unswerving selflessness and kindness will always be remembered as being at the heart of his efforts and he will be hugely missed.

Sallowbush Road Dog Walking Area

Huntingdon Town Council are seeking views on what improvements should take place at the Sallowbush Road open space.

Following the sale of an area of land on Sallowbush Road (used as a dog walking area) to Hotel Chocolat, Huntingdon Town Council have held talks with Huntingdonshire District Council to increase the remaining dog walking area. Huntingdon Town Council are launching a public consultation to ask residents and current users what they would like to see in this new dog walking area.

Huntingdon Town Council are committed to maintaining and improving our public parks and spaces. The Sallowbush Road dog walking area is a much-loved asset in the local community, and we wish to engage with all residents and users of the open space to ensure it remains so.

We would like to ask residents and current users of the existing dog walking area to share with us their ideas for this new space. These plans are only a suggestion and subject to change following feedback from residents and users.
