Work has commenced on Hertfordshire County Council's Hertfordshire Living Lab project, set to pave the way for future smart towns and cities across the country.

The council has partnered with Hertfordshire Police and the Welwyn Garden City Business Improvement District (BID), in an initiative to help Welwyn Garden City and Hatfield town centres be safe and enjoyable places to shop in the run up to Christmas.

Businesses in Welwyn Hatfield impacted by COVID-19 which have not had access to some of the direct financial support from the government's national schemes, could benefit from an alternative cash injection with the Additional Restrictions Grant being administered by Welwyn Hatfield Council.

Following the Prime Minister's announcement of the Covid Winter Plan, the Government has confirmed that from 2 December, Hertfordshire will be placed in Tier 2: High Alert of the revised three-tiered system of local restrictions.

This year's Christmas festivities across the Welwyn Hatfield borough have just begun and the details of events and activities have been confirmed.
