East Hertfordshire has a lot to offer. We are consistently rated among the best areas in the country to live and we benefit from being close to London and Cambridge, with good access to Stansted and Luton airports. We have our challenges. Growth can be threatening to existing communities, and in an area where congestion and air quality are real concerns, this is unsurprising. Our aim is to manage growth in a way that protects what our communities value most. Like all councils, we face budgetary pressures, and the ongoing Local Government Re-organisation and Devolution agenda have introduced additional challenges and complexity into our day-to-day operations. Yet with challenges come significant opportunities – and at East Herts, we face them with ambition and determination. Over the years, we have forged strong partnerships and worked tirelessly – both as members and officers – to deliver high quality services to our communities. We have successfully delivered major capital projects and are now collaborating with partners on key growth initiatives, including the regeneration of Bishop’s Stortford town centre and the development of one of the largest garden towns in the country. If you think you’d like to lead our team into the next generation of local government then we’d love to hear from you.
