Agnieszka Supiya is a Quantity Surveying student at London South Bank University conducting research for her MSc dissertation regarding comparisons between garden cities and other towns in Hertfordshire. If you are a resident of WGC she would be very grateful for your assistance in obtaining some information about the town. She has kindly agreed to send the Trust a copy of her findings for our archive - so please do help if you can.
The Trust is very grateful to the Howard Centre, Welwyn Garden City which has generously offered to host the 'Where Do You Think We Worked?' project exhibition in July. Further details to follow...!
