“We work well together. We get on well together. We plan together.”
Cllr Roberts pointed to the successes of the Hertfordshire Growth Board and the Health and Wellbeing Board as good examples of collaboration.
He also suggested that could be improved further through closer working on the Hertfordshire Waste Partnership.
“These are the things that will demonstrate to government that we don’t need to be ‘done to’ – that we can decide our own future and that we can determine whether our future looks like,” he said.
“However, if government determines that we are going to be reformed, then we will have to take that into account.”

The new leader of Hertfordshire County Council has made it clear that he will not be pushing for local government reform in Hertfordshire.
Hertfordshire currently operates on a two-tier system of local government – with 10 district and borough councils and one county council.
But there have been suggestions that replacing them all with a single ‘unitary’ council could save up to £142million a year.
