Local Authorities

We can work with you to develop bespoke projects and services that improve the lives of local people, and help to deliver the council’s targets.

Our projects range from relatively straightforward contract work, to entrepreneurial, experimental, risk taking projects that are innovative and creative and that solve deep-rooted problems.

Several Hertfordshire local authorities are represented on Groundwork Hertfordshire’s Board and Advisory Panel. Trust staff sit on several Local Strategic Partnerships. We have a shared understanding of the local area and of local priorities, which gives us a head start in creating initiatives that will really work on the ground.

We can offer Local Authorities:

  • Project and contract management of any environmental improvement scheme, including seeking planning permissions, coordinating partners, managing contractors, involving the community and volunteers
  • Community consultations
  • Youth consultations and youth work activities
  • Landscape design and build, including park, play, access and sports expertise
  • Fundraising expertise
  • Home energy advice
  • Vision planning
