What are the plans for a greener future in Watford?

Watford is part of the ‘waste aware’ partnership of county, district and borough councils in Hertfordshire, which is a municipal waste strategy aimed at reducing, reusing, recycling and recovering as much waste as possible from the area. Climate change has made technological innovation and the preservation of natural resources a priority for local authorities to consider when planning, strategizing and implementing practices for the collection, transfer and treatment of waste. There are plenty of open green spaces in and around Watford, however they can be hard to access without the appropriate roads and footpaths linking them to the surrounding towns and villages, and this is also on the agenda for the Hertfordshire waste aware partnership, as they recognise that more needs to be invested into making green spaces easily accessible, and improving overall access to the countryside.

Watford has also invested in cycle lane infrastructure to support greener methods of transport in the town centre, making over 15 kilometers of new cycle routes accessible through the provision of cycle maps and bike parks situated in the centre of Watford and the surrounding areas. The Watford Cycle Hub is a local organisation that supports children and adults to learn how to cycle and basic bike maintenance. They also hold 1 to 1 classes to build the confidence, safety and the proficiency of cyclists in the area to encourage people to choose their bikes over cars when travelling locally.
