A chance for the communities of Hemel Hempstead to tell us how they travel in Hemel Hempstead for local journeys now and how they might travel in the future. Together we can shape the change. How your comments help? - Your responses help us understand how people currently travel, how they would like to travel and barriers to this - Your responses help us understand priorities for sustainable transport and active travel - Your responses will help us shape our transport strategy which we will be sharing more of later in the year – this is the first conversation with communities and there will be more opportunities to get involved.Understanding our Engagement
