North Herts Council calls for Government 'grey belt' change!

We're very pleased that North Herts Council has passed a motion calling on the Government to change its damaging definition of 'grey belt' and to strengthen protections for the Green Belt, high quality farmland and important wildlife habitats. We now call on ALL other Councils across Hertfordshire - and across the country - to follow suit.

Read the details on our website at: https://www.cpreherts.org.uk/news/north-herts-council-calls-for-government-grey-belt-change/

and please share this post with your local Councillors.

Central Government invites Hertfordshire residents to have their say on Local Government Reorganisation (LGR)



The Government has launched a seven‑week consultation on proposals to change how local government is structured in Hertfordshire. The consultation closes on 26 March 2026.



Full details of the three proposals, including business cases, financial analysis, maps showing the proposed boundaries, and a link to the Government’s consultation are available at: www.hertfordshire-lgr.co.uk


Currently, services are split between district/borough councils and the county council. Under the Government’s plans, these would be replaced by new unitary councils delivering all services.

Following a series of engagement events for residents and stakeholders, plus an online survey, Hertfordshire's 11 councils, together with the Police and Crime Commissioner, submitted proposals for two, three and four unitary council models for the Government to consider.

This website has been designed to: Inform and educate Hertfordshire residents on what Local Government Reorganisation (LGR) is, and how it impacts them. Provide Hertfordshire residents with the opportunity to have their say – we really want to hear from our communities.
