BETTER PLACES TO LIVE

Affordable housing and the quality of our neighbourhoods are essential in sustaining Hertfordshire’s unique character and quality of life. The Better Places to Live Partnership was established in late 2008 to balance our long term objective to sustain Hertfordshire’s unique character and quality of life with pressure to deliver high rates of development growth. Early work has focused on partnership development: membership and building consensus on objectives.
