Among the first New Towns, it is reinventing itself with a series of new Garden Communities which will bring approximately 11,000 new homes and 10,000 new jobs by 2050, including an extension to the enterprise zone, Hertfordshire Innovation Quarter.

Key to this is the regeneration of Hemel Hempstead town centre; our vision sets an ambitious future, revitalising the area to become, once again, the beating heart of the area.

The town centre holds beautiful natural treasures, including the Water Gardens and River Gade in the heart of the town centre, Gadebridge Park and the Walled Gardens in the north and Grand Union Canal to the south. These assets provide valuable amenities for residents and are the backdrop for opportunities for enhancement through high quality regeneration. The combination of parks and rivers mixed with shops, cafes, restaurants, workspaces, cultural and leisure activities will drive the revitalisation of the town centre, focussed on development of our priority sites.
