Local Government
duties are covered by three authorities:
Hertfordshire County Council,
Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council,
Hatfield Town Council.
Members of the public often refer to “The Council” as
one body when discussing anything from road signs to dustbins when
in fact the three Councils are completely independent and have different
responsibilities (please see the following sections for details).
Each has a different body of elected Members and its own workforce.
Each authority levies a separate charge (through the Council Tax
system) to cover the cost of the activities that it administers.

Hatfield Parish, one of the largest in Hertfordshire, covers 4,649
hectares, 11,489 acres or  17.95
square miles and stretches from the village of Newgate Street in
the south to Lemsford Village in the north. The Parish is administered
by the Town Council which engages in a vast range of community activities.
It also provides recreational facilities throughout the Civil Parish
of Hatfield. Full Council and Committee meetings are open to the
public and details are posted outside the Council Offices and on
our notice boards. There are three main Committees; Resources &
Policy, Leisure and Planning at which Members of the Council decide
on issues affecting Hatfield. A Town Mayor is also elected each
year to represent Hatfield.
