Last month, we outlined our joint commitment to supporting the delivery of good growth in Hertfordshire. Our pan-county approach to growth issues and the growth agenda has been moving at pace since the formation of the Hertfordshire Growth Board in 2018, although we have certainly been planning for significant growth for some time.

The collaborative working across our two-tier system involves the county's 10 district and borough councils, as well as the Hertfordshire Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). There is a common will to work together, for the good of our county.
