Booked for an interview by our favourite radio presenter Matt Hatton, the Grovehill Community Centre was delighted to host Burgurmeister Dirk Gene Hagelstein, the Mayor of Hemel Hempstead's twin-town Neu-Isenburg, Germany.
Julie and Alex had the pleasure of being part of the team that looked after Gene, during his recent visit to Hemel Hempstead. There were a huge number of matters that got talked about and Gene absolutely loved our town. In fact, seeing Hemel Hempstead through someone else's eyes, does indeed make one appreciate that things really aren't as bad as we make out!

Julie and Alex will be visiting Neu-Isenburg as part of the European Town-Twinning celebrations in a couple of weeks and hope to strengthen ties between our two communities, following BREXIT.
