East Herts District Council, in partnership with Hertfordshire County Council, has launched a new Thermal Imaging Camera Loan Scheme in Winter 2025. The initiative will enable residents to borrow a thermal imaging camera free of charge from their local library. The scheme is designed to help households identify where heat may be escaping from their homes, highlighting insulation gaps, draughts and other areas where energy efficiency improvements could be made.
A housing development consisting of 25 new energy-efficient, affordable homes has been completed in Bishop’s Stortford, East Hertfordshire. The scheme is made up of 13 affordable rent houses, 9 shared ownership apartments, and 3 shared ownership houses which will welcome more than 100 new residents.
A Court of Appeal ruling has formally ended the legal challenge to the Gilston Area’s outline planning permission, unlocking the next stage of delivery for this major part of Harlow and Gilston Garden Town.
Explore East Herts is a new campaign from the district council to promote rural businesses and activities, with a focus on nature, culture, hospitality and activities for residents to discover.
East Herts Council is joining a global movement to end violence against women and girls (VAWG) by supporting a series of local events as part of the 16 Days of Activism campaign.
