Local News and Events

The annual canvass is the process of updating the electoral register. Every year, we must ensure that our register is as complete and accurate as it should be. This process usually takes place between July and November.

By law, we must send a Household Enquiry Form to every residential property within Hertsmere. These forms may be different depending on the response we need from each property. As a result, your neighbours may receive different communications than you do.

Hertsmere Borough Council will be using different types of canvass communications;

text
email
posted enquiry form
telephone canvass
household visit
The best thing to do is to respond as soon as you can to avoid further canvass enquiries.

If you have a query or need further information, please contact the registration team by emailing elections@hertsmere.gov.uk or call 020 8207 7481

A Safe & Well visit is where we are asked by the resident to attend their home at a time convenient for them to give them free fire safety advice. We check their smoke alarms to make sure they work and if they don’t, or are missing, we will fit a new one, again, free of charge. We also check plug socket adaptors, talk about escape routes and night time routines, candle and electric blanket safety, and if anyone we visit is particularly vulnerable or requires further support, we have the ability to refer them onto Hertfordshire Home Safer Services who can provide more equipment such as vibrating alarms or careline systems.

APC would like to say a massive THANK YOU to everyone that came to join us on Saturday, despite the terrible weather!

We would also like to thank InspireAll, for once again putting on a brilliant event, the open spaces team and officers for all their hard work and our wonderful sponsors, without you none of it would be possible ❤️
