Introduction

The Local Government Act 2000 gave councils a new statutory duty and a new power to promote the environmental, economic and social wellbeing of their communities.

The strategy has been developed in close collaboration with the emerging Local Development Framework (Core Strategy) which will guide future land use and spatial planning in the area and other key strategies such as housing, community safety, health, economic and cultural strategies.

To read the strategy online, please use the East Herts Sustainable Community Strategy 2009-2024 online
