Hertfordshire has always been at the forefront of planning for growth, having pioneered the first garden cities and first new town. Indeed, within the county we have already committed to building an additional 100,000 homes and generating 100,000 new jobs over the next 10 years, ensuring residents and businesses thrive. We are working with Homes England and other partners to deliver 24,000 new homes at Harlow Gilston Garden Town with 10,000 of those new homes at Gilston in Hertfordshire, together with a further 10,000 new homes as part of the Hemel Garden Communities proposal.

We were delighted to see Minister Matthew Pennycook and Sir Michael Lyons launch the New Towns Taskforce in Stevenage a few months ago and to welcome representatives of the Taskforce to discuss proposals for Hemel Garden Communities earlier this week.
