Notice Board
Tender for Sustainable Tourism Strategy
Hertford Town Council is inviting expressions of interest for the provision of specialist services in creating a Sustainable Tourism Strategy.
We are seeking a consultant to help us devise a comprehensive 3-5 year strategy, to grow the visitor economy to the benefit of all those living and working in Hertford.
Hertford is a unique place, 45 minutes from London, yet a world away; with its green spaces, its history and its heritage. Hertford is the county town, the jewel in the Hertfordshire crown. We want to make Hertford a ‘must-see’ destination and it’s the optimum time to capitalise on the recent developments in the town.
Working in co-design with local businesses, we want local commerce, infrastructure and the town itself, to thrive, while respecting our green spaces, being as sustainable as possible and delivering value for money.
For more information please contact annalisa.yeowell@hertford.gov.uk All expressions of interest should be received by 10th June 2024.
Neighbourhood plan for Castle Ward Plus, Hertford
Neighbourhood plans allow communities to have a direct say about challenges they have identified in their local area. These can include the development of residential housing developments, small businesses, local shops and other amenities, as well as the preservation of green spaces.
The overall aim is to ensure that future developments make a positive and beneficial contribution to the wider community and are supported by improvements to local services and infrastructure. In Hertford, Neighbourhood Plans have already created for Bengeo, Kingsmead and Sele and now it's the turn of the communities covered by Castle, Kingsmead West and Bengeo South wards.
Hertford Town Council is proposing that this area be known as Hertford Castle Plus. Once confirmed, the process of creating a Neighbourhood Plan for Hertford Castle Plus will begin. We will ensure that residents are kept fully up to date on next steps and how they can participate.
You can view and comment on the Hertford Castle Plus Neighbourhood Area Designation Application via East Herts Councils website
