The Sustainable Community Strategy is our vision for the future of Dacorum - including an ambitious action plan for the next three years targeting issues from health, housing and community safety to culture, business and the environment.

‘Towards 2021’, the Dacorum Sustainable Community Strategy, has been produced by the Dacorum Partnership, an alliance between Dacorum Borough Council, Hertfordshire County Council, Hertfordshire Constabulary, Community Action Dacorum, West Hertfordshire Primary Care Trust and other statutory and voluntary organisations.

The strategy was compiled after extensive consultation with people across the Borough, combined with careful analysis of statistical data and social trends.

Councillor Andrew Williams, Chair of the Dacorum Partnership, said: "Thanks to constructive feedback from the public, ‘Towards 2021’ sets out a comprehensive long-term plan for our community. It means we have a shared understanding of future needs and all partners can share responsibility and resources to improve Dacorum.

"It also helps us to prepare for an expanding population and to plan how our communities and infrastructure will cope."

The strategy includes a section on how we can help tackle climate change locally - and provides goals which individuals as well as organisations can adopt, such as reducing waste and recycling.
