This year will be bigger and better, there will be fun inflatables, stalls and food vendors for the community to enjoy.

The ‘Your Town’ initiative led by Dacorum Borough Council in partnership with Your Town aims to encourage people to live healthy lives, get more engaged in their local community and make them proud of where they live.

Julie Banks, portfolio holder for community and regulatory services said: “It’s fantastic to see a community event taking place, after such a prolonged period of isolation.
