June 2017 Rickmansworth Urban District Council (UDC) (which included Croxley Green), Chorleywood UDC, and Watford Rural UDC (which included Abbotts Langley, Sarratt, South Oxhey and Carpenders Park) did not want to go together, but had no choice. No area wanted to have the name of another part of the new district so a public competition was held and Three Rivers District Council (TRDC) was born. The Grand Union Canal passes to the south of Rickmansworth. Here it merges with the Rivers Chess, Colne and Gade. After Rickmansworth, the canal follows the valley of the River Gade, a tributary of the River Colne, passing the site of Croxley paper mill. Most of TRDC residents are high-earning families, affluent married couples whose successful careers have afforded them financial security and a spacious home in a prestigious and established residential area. While some are mature empty-nesters or elderly retired couples, others are still supporting their teenage or older children. TRDC is an area which has one of the lowest rates of hate crime, robberies, domestic abuse and violence against another person. It also has low criminal damage, vehicle crime and anti-social behaviour. It has a mixture of business and industry. The main employment areas are at Croxley Business Park, Tolpits Lane, Kings Langley, Maple Cross, Rickmansworth and Leavesden.
