1983-1997: The Borough of Hertsmere, and the City of St Albans ward of London Colney.
1997-present: The Borough of Hertsmere.
Since 1997 the constituency is coterminous with the borough of Hertsmere, in southern Hertfordshire (before then it had also included one electoral ward from the City of St Albans district). Hertsmere consists of the major towns and villages of Bushey, Radlett, Potters Bar and Borehamwood, elevated settlements above the headwaters of the River Colne which forms much of the northern border. Bushey borders Watford and the London Borough of Harrow to the west and south west, while Potters Bar borders Barnet and Broxbourne on the east. Borehamwood is just south-east of the centre, the largest town in the constituency — in the north and centre is Radlett, separated by two large villages and farms from St Albans to the north.
The name "Hertsmere" was invented for the new district by combining the common abbreviation of "Hertfordshire" ("Herts") with "mere", an archaic word for boundary. The name is doubly appropriate as the district straddles the historic county boundary between Middlesex and Hertfordshire and forms the administrative boundary between Hertfordshire and Greater London. The name is reflected in the council's coat of arms, which shows a hart upon the battlements of a boundary wall.

Nightmare on Elstree (and Hertsmere)!
We, The Elstree Peoples Liberation Front (aka Elstree Revolt) are delighted to present our debut video "Nightmare on Elstree (and Hertsmere!)" to the world. Please share so that we can get our message across.
All around Elstree and the Borough of Hertsmere, the good people are waking up from the nightmare of self-serving and oppressive rule from the Council leadership and those who govern us.

Good comrades of Hertsmere
Our Conservative-run Hertsmere
Borough Council is committing environmental crimes against our Borough, and our planet. Its “Planning for Growth” document (2018) proposes to build on Green Belt sites all around Hertsmere...
These will be destroyed to build 8,000 houses. The local population will increase by 25% putting huge strain on services.
Our woodland, trees, farms, golf courses, sports fields & pastures are to be bulldozed. Our precious wildlife & biodiversity face decimation. Animals, birds and insects will be murdered or displaced. Thousands of trees will be felled in the "Hertsmere Chainsaw Massacre."
The HPLF will do all it can to protect them.

This Hertsmere Chainsaw Massacre stinks of hypocrisy.
In September 2019 the Council passed
a Climate Emergency motion to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050.
Aside from being 20 years too late, and well past the "tipping point" that scientists
claim condemn our planet to apocalypse,
destroying our Green Belt makes it
impossible to meet these targets anyway.
Bats are a Protected Species and
inhabit many of these targeted sites.
The HPLF is Angry…
And so is Batman.
Nearly 600 trees have been chopped down recently in Hertsmere. Many in "error".
But there is hope. The People are resisting.
Ancient Oak Trees in Ely Gardens, Borehamwood have become a cause célèbre. Neighbours and campaign groups suspect ulterior motives for their proposed felling, such as cost cutting, or clearing them...to make way for the latest batch of Container Homes.
The Council are threatening to chop them down, citing "property damage" [Cllr Seamus Quilty-Environment Portfolio Holder]. This is based upon flimsy evidence that was hidden. Residents are rising up to defend the trees. Through protests, petitions and direct action.
The Hertsmere Peoples Liberation Front stands in solidarity with them…
And with anyone else who is prepared to resist...
To defend our Borough... our planet... and our children's future.
We Are No One. We Are Everyone.
