Local culture and identity really matter, too. The Phoenix theatre, with its community productions, brings people together, builds confidence and gives local people the chance to take part in something creative and shared. I recently attended one of its productions, by Catherine Minnis, and saw for myself the value that the theatre brings. Hatfield local history society plays a different but equally important role, by helping people to stay connected to the story of their area and their heritage, and passing on that sense of local identity from one generation to the next.
