We have drafted a vision statement for the South West Herts Joint Strategic Plan, which we asked for your feedback on.

This vision has been developed in line with issues raised about our environment, and living, working, playing and moving around in the area.

Setting clear objectives

The objectives we set today will shape the lives of generations to come. And this is where it starts...

In order to achieve our vision, we have established six pillars to guide us.

These set out our ambitions for the key areas that the plan will cover. Each pillar contains a number of more specific objectives that that are designed to help shape future policies within the Joint Strategic Plan, and wider investment decisions in the area.

Through these pillars we aim to understand current and future needs and desires of those who live and work in the area, and where we want to be by 2050.

The Six Pillars

The Pillars are described below. Please select each for more information.

Living green in a healthy natural environment – What if SW Herts made living green easy and led our country's response to climate change?

Growing opportunities to work locally – What if SW Herts was a place where investors, innovators, entrepreneurs and creators chose to come together?

Living in healthy, thriving local communities – What if SW Herts was an affordable, sustainable and fulfilling place to live?

Moving easily in well connected places – What if SW Herts had more people moving around by public transport, bikes and on foot than by car?

Building homes and places that people are proud of – What if SW Herts became nationally recognised as providing a high quality of life?

Delivering robust and sustainable infrastructure – What if SW Herts was cleaner and greener, with more robust and sustainable infrastructure?

These pillars are expanded in more detail over the following pages.
