Commenting on the news that the Olympic Torch will be stopping in Letchworth Garden City, but not in Royston, North East Herts MP Oliver Heald said, “I welcome the news that the Olympic Torch will stop in Letchworth Garden City in my Constituency, but it is not clear to me whether it will pass through Royston, or via villages close to the town. I am therefore writing to Lord Coe, asking for clarification.
“Royston has put a huge effort into celebrating the Olympics and it would be marvellous if local people were to have the chance to see the Torch.”
