    Hertfordshire Constabulary Schools Weapons Offences January 2014 - December 2018 Please Note: The information below shows the numbers of weapons involved in these offences. Unfortunately it is not possible to say categorically how many were seized by Police (and retained). In many cases, where the offending knife was a kitchen knife or work knife it will have been returned to the parents - but it is not always clarified in the crime report as to whether this is by the School or the Police. Where knives have been taken from the School, for example the Cookery Class, then they have also been returned and not seized.

DX 8804 Hemel Hempstead D/deaf callers, Text Relay: 18001 + 01442 228000 Dear Ms St John Howe Luton Local Plan examination – stage 2 hearings With reference to your email of 2 August 2016, I confirm that Dacorum Borough Council does not wish to be represented at the stage 2 hearing sessions. We are content to rely on our representations of 7 December 2015 on the pre-submission plan, but would also like to comment briefly on Matter 2, question 17 which asks: “Is the Luton HMA correctly and accurately described in paras 1.18, 4.5 and 4.7 of the Plan? In particular, is any part of Dacorum Borough Council within the Luton HMA? [see Council’s ‘minor modifications’ MOD9 & MOD29]” The ‘Luton and Central Bedfordshire Strategic Housing Market Assesment Refresh 2014’ (examination document HOU 003b) included two small parts of Dacorum in the Markyate and Gaddesden Row areas within the Luton Housing Market Area. In our letter of 20 July 2014 in response to the Draft Luton Local Plan we commented that the Dacorum parts of the Luton HMA were rural areas, not well served by services and facilities and therefore not considered suitable locations for growth. The boundaries of the Luton HMA were reviewed in the ‘Housing Market Areas in Bedfordshire and surrounding areas’ report (examination document HOU 003d).

  • Rt Hon Oliver Dowden CBE MP
    Rt Hon Oliver Dowden CBE MP Member of Parliament for Hertsmere End of Parliament Report – November 2019 As this Parliament reaches its conclusion, I wanted to write to you to update you on my work over the previous four years as your Member of Parliament. As always, a report of this length cannot cover everything so to see more of what I have been working on please do visit my Facebook, Instagram, Twitter or website where I regularly share posts and updates. Transport After my four year long campaign, Oyster was delivered to Potters Bar and Radlett in August. This enables people to travel easily and more flexibly, and I formally opened the system with the Transport Secretary at Radlett Station. I’ve also made progress securing upgrades to transport facilities across the constituency. After pressing Thameslink, Elstree and Borehamwood Station has been completely overhauled, including a much-needed wider entrance and re-furbished concourse. Moreover, a £300m Government investment into Thameslink’s infrastructure has delivered improvements along the whole line. Potters Bar and Radlett will be receiving money from the £15m Passenger Benefit Fund and I successfully pushed Govia Thameslink to speed the roll-out of new, larger and more modern carriages to improve passenger journeys. At the same time I continue to meet regularly with representatives from London Northwestern about improvements to Bushey Station, including more toilets, shelters and bike racks. I know the service on Thameslink and Great Northern has at times been completely unacceptable. I commute and know first-hand the frustration and anger caused by the timetable chaos last year.

  • Hertfordshire - Hertsmere: Bushey Group
    Children’s centre report Hertfordshire - Hertsmere: Bushey Group Harcourt Road, Bushey, WD23 3PE Inspection date 4–5 February 2014 This inspection: Requires improvement 3 Overall effectiveness Previous inspection: Requires improvement 3 Access to services by young children and families Requires improvement 3 The quality of practice and services Requires improvement 3 The effectiveness of leadership, governance and Requires improvement 3 management Summary of key findings for children and families This children's centre group requires improvement. It is not good because: Not enough families from target groups are accessing the centres’ services. Most families are registered with the centre, but there are not yet good levels of engagement with a minority of some groups, including lone parents, workless families and families living in Otterspool. Leaders do not always ensure they collect or make enough use of information from all partners to show the difference services are making to families lives. For example, they are not tracking the progress of individual children’s achievements at the end of the Early Years Foundation Stage to help measure the impact of services. The monitoring of case files by centre leaders is not robust enough. There is evidence of close partnership working but no clear audit trail to show the decision-making process. Not enough boys and children who are eligible for free school meals (FSM) in the Bushey Mill area are ready for school. The centres are working with key partners to reduce this inequality gap and to increase the number of two-year-olds taking up their entitlement to high quality early education to gain a head start in their learning and development from a young age.

We do this by looking at your total net weekly income from your self- employed earnings and any other income or capital you may have. This leaflet is part of a series (illustrated opposite) produced by a group of local authorities to help make Housing Benefit and Council Tax Reduction easier to understand. 1 How to claim benefit 2 Backdating your benefit claim 3 Change of circumstances 4 Non-dependants 5 Help with child-care costs 6 Self-employed benefit claims 7 Student benefit claims 8 Overpayment of benefit 9 Extended benefit payment 10 Discretionary housing payment (DHP) 11 Benefit on two homes 12 Temporary absence from your home 13 Home visits 14 Discussing your benefit claim with other people 15 How to appeal Three Rivers No 6_Three Rivers No 6 31/05/2012 14:28 Page 3 How is self-employed income assessed? First we have to work out the net profit from your total income. The net profit is calculated as follows: Gross income less any allowable business expenses = pre-tax profit. From this figure we deduct the amount you would expect to pay in tax and national insurance, and half of any pension contributions.

  • Borough Profile Borough Profile September 2017 September 2017
    BOROUGH PROFILE BOROUGH PROFILE SEPTEMBER 2017 SEPTEMBER 2017 1 Borough Profile Overview Hertsmere is located in the south-west of Hertfordshire abutting north-west London. Despite its proximity to Greater London, the 10,116 hectares borough remains largely rural and almost 80% of the land is designated Green Belt. The borough has five main settlements including: Borehamwood, Bushey, Potters Bar, Radlett and Shenley, with other villages and smaller settlements dispersed throughout the rest of the district. Hertsmere is very much a gateway to the county. This is reflected in the name given to the borough when it was created in 1974, combining ‘Herts’ a common abbreviation of Hertfordshire, with ‘mere’, an old word for a boundary. Hertsmere is not a single town or place and when Hertsmere was formed, it combined parts of Bushey and Potters Bar Urban Districts with Elstree and Watford Rural Districts. Population in Hertsmere The population currently stands at 103,000, which has risen by almost 13,000 between the censuses of 1981 and the most recent projections, made in 2015. The rate of population increase for Hertsmere (14.3%) is comparable with the rest of the UK (15.4%) but slightly less than average for the Southwest Herts sub-region (17.2%). Table 1: Population within the borough Location Latest known (2015) Hertsmere 103,000 Borehamwood 34,979 Bushey (including Bushey Heath) 27,109 Potters Bar 22,383 Aldenham (including Radlett) 9,338 Shenley 4,955 Elstree 4,236 source: Nomis 2 Figure 1: Age group breakdown between 2014 and 2038 in Hertsmere (as % of overall population).

  • Housing Navigator Briefing for Professionals
    Briefing for professionals regarding the domestic abuse Housing Navigator pilot Context: About the Whole Housing Approach pilot The Whole Housing project’s aim is to increase safe accommodation options for victims of domestic abuse through the development of robust processes, policies and pathways. The project will initially run from April 2021 – March 2022, testing new initiatives and ways of working such as: • a ‘flexible funding pot’ which domestic abuse and complex needs partners can apply for on behalf of victims to access safe housing and/or improve security of their home • managed reciprocal arrangements between social housing providers • working with housing partners to develop Perpetrator management strategies and policies For more information about a whole housing approach please see: Whole Housing Approach - daha - Domestic Abuse Housing Alliance (dahalliance.org.uk). A small but important part of the overall approach is the implementation of a housing navigator service. The housing navigator service is a pilot project commissioned by Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) through short-term grant funding from the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG). The project forms part of a wider HCC Multi-disciplinary team pilot to support adults with complex needs experiencing homelessness. Overview of the housing navigator pilot service HCC and Stevenage Borough Council have worked together to develop a housing navigator service model. SADA (Survivors Against Domestic Abuse) have been commissioned to provide 10 housing navigators across the county. This will enable one full time housing navigator in each district and borough. The housing navigator will build relationships with the housing sector in each Local Authority area and will be the single point of contact for victims and survivors of domestic abuse where there are housing related support needs.
