Hertfordshire County Council -draft Integrated Plan

Let us know your priorities   An online survey is available from 11 January until 1 February 2021 at www.hertfordshire.gov.uk/budgetsurvey   Residents are being invited to have their say about Hertfordshire County Council’s draft Integrated Plan (the proposed budget) for 2021-22, contributing to the budget setting process.
We want Hertfordshire to continue to be a county where people have the opportunity to live healthy, fulfilling lives in thriving, prosperous communities.   Hertfordshire is a great place to live and work. However, we face a range of major challenges over the coming years. Significant population and housing growth are anticipated and, as with the rest of the country, our population is ageing and increasingly experiencing long-term complex health problems. Coronavirus has also brought about some changes to how we work and provide services. All of these challenges generate increasing demand on our services and infrastructure.   Let us know how you think we should prioritise our spending by filling out our survey.
Just some of the draft budget proposals include:  
Adult Care and Health   Investment in adult social care including care worker pay increases, support for the voluntary sector, investment in safeguarding, permanent funding for the domestic violence service, and funding for transformation in disability services.   
Highways   £10m of investment as part of our climate change response to improve drainage in response to highways flooding. Additional investment is proposed for moving forward the roll out of 20 mph speed limits, active travel schemes, and extra funding for winter maintenance to help keep the county moving.
Sustainable Hertfordshire   £10m of capital investment in sustainable projects to significantly drive forward delivery of the Sustainable Hertfordshire strategy approved by Cabinet, including £1.5m earmarked for pilot projects in school energy initiatives.

We have been advised that HertsCC/HertsmereBC will be replacing the orange barriers in Radlett with a mix of planters and bollards. This work is proposed for 10th December 2020. HertsCC are installing the planters and HertsmereBC will plant them up.

There will be no reduction in disabled persons parking as a result of the changes. The planters will replace existing barriers and less likely to be able to be moved by residents as well as looking much more pleasant.

All measures are temporary in nature and maintenance is funded up to 31 March 2021.
