CHIEF EXECUTIVE, THE APSLEY PAPER TRAIL:
“Hemel Hempstead and the wider Gade Valley has a fascinating and exciting past, including industrial heritage sites so significant and unique, they could contend for World Heritage Site Status. This rich history of innovation, invention and discovery has the power to not only generate civic pride, but bring together and inspire different communities, audiences and generations.”

“With a vibrant town centre comes fresh new opportunities for businesses, residents and visitors. This vision sets out a bright and bold future for Hemel Hempstead town centre, with flexible workspaces to suit modern day businesses, quality homes and jobs for our people, and strengthened connections to neighbouring places and the rich natural landscape already surrounding the town. We are delighted to support this strategy that will not only put Hemel Hempstead on the map but provide a blueprint for the rejuvenation of other New Towns in Hertfordshire.”

PHILLIPA ZIEBA
PROGRAMME DIRECTOR, HEMEL GARDEN COMMUNITIES
Hemel Garden Communities was awarded Garden Town status by the Government in 2019. It is a transformative bid, going beyond the proposed 11,000 new homes and 10,000 new jobs, to ensure wider regeneration for the whole of Hemel Hempstead, focussed upon the delivery of mixed and balanced communities.

It gives me and the entire team, enormous pleasure to be engaged and embedded into Hemel Place work. This helps and demonstrates our community strengths and values which directly benefits our BID members. Our recent ballot confirming another five years of HH BID is testament part to the importance of our ongoing collaboration and stronger partnership.
