==Political control 1973–2011== |
|||
The first council was elected in 1973 as a shadow authority, and was under [[no overall control]]: the [[Conservative Party (UK)|Conservative Party]] won 25 seats, [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour]] 17 and the [[Liberal Party (UK)|Liberals]] 13. |
|||
In 1976 the Conservatives gained a majority on the council which they held until 1994. For the next two years the council was under no overall control. The Labour Party then controlled the council from 1996 to the [[1999 Hertsmere Council election|1999 election]], when the Conservatives regained control, which they have held since that date. |
|||
==Civic Awards== |
|||
In 2003, the Borough Council started to present a small number of Civic Awards to people who live or work in Hertsmere 'in recognition of work undertaken for the benefit of residents of the Borough'. |
|||
==Premises== |
|||
The council inherited offices at Rudolph Road in Bushey, Darkes Lane in Potters Bar, and Shenley Road in Borehamwood from its predecessor authorities. A new building, called Hertsmere Civic Offices, was built in 1975{{ndash}}1976 on Elstree Way in Borehamwood to serve as the council's principal offices and meeting place.<ref>Planning Application 75/209: Offices and ancillary accommodation of Hertsmere District Council at Elstree Way, Borehamwood. Permission granted 3 April 1975. (Referenced in planning application TP/13/0014.)</ref> |
|||
==Elstree Studios== |
|||
In 1993, the council bought [[Elstree Studios (Shenley Road)|Elstree Studios]] in Borehamwood.<ref>{{cite web |title=Our History |url=https://www.elstreestudios.co.uk/history-elstree-studios/ |website=Elstree Studios |access-date=3 January 2022}}</ref> They are now operated by Elstree Film Studios Limited, a council-controlled company. |
