Creating a cleaner and healthier environment (Towards 2021 the Dacorum Sustainable Community Strategy )
Perhaps something might happen by 2021 , much of it's not happening now !!
OUR AIM: To resolve local environmental issues and enhance thenatural beauty and built environment of Dacorum
How will we do this? Through encouraging individuals and
organisations to work together locally to improve the environment
and help reduce global impacts

To deliver this aim we will:
• Increase environmental awareness

Our actions will include:

responsibility and value for surroundings

from improvements to sustainability
• Adopting sustainable energy approaches to all new buildings and
encouraging sustainable construction practices
• Improving energy efficiency in all buildings
• Encouraging water conservation practices
• Maintain and seek to improve public transport
• Encourage more people to walk and cycle ( Not walking through the Magic Roundabout Underpass it's been flooded for three weeks http://hemelcouncilcomplain.blogspot.com/2008/09/hemel-flooded-and-offensively-graffited.html )
• Encouraging the ‘three Rs’ – reduce, reuse, recycle
• Encouraging businesses to use less packaging and adopt more sustainable
waste management
• Clamping down on littering and fly-tipping and removing dumped waste quickly ( removing litter ? Not in the Magic Roundabout Underpass it's rubbish strewn and never seems to be cleaned http://hemelcouncilcomplain.blogspot.com/2008/09/hemel-flooded-and-offensively-graffited.html
• Protection and enhancement of wildlife habitats and making them resilient to change
• Providing information and promoting initiatives to encourage people to choose sustainable
produce and products
