Here is what Cllr Richard Roberts, Chair of the Hertfordshire Growth Board and Leader Hertfordshire County Council has to say:
“Hertfordshire is a special place because so many people work incredibly hard to make it so. Our strength is in the range and depth of partnerships forged across local government, the wider public sector, business and our communities. The Hertfordshire Growth Board shows what this joined up working and shared determination can achieve.
I am immensely proud of the work delivered since April 2022 and showcased in this report.
From building new homes to protecting green spaces and growing our economy while cutting carbon emissions, Hertfordshire is leading the way on sustainable place-making”.
