Dacorum Borough Council, a public authority functioning at a sub-central government level, has spearheaded a procurement process titled "Meanwhile Uses Arts Strategy." This initiative is focused within the services category, with a particular emphasis on transforming vacant spaces into vibrant cultural hubs across Hemel Hempstead, Tring, and Berkhamsted. The contract, already in the award stage and completed, was officially signed on 24th February 2025, with a duration spanning from 1st April 2025 to 30th September 2025. The primary goal is to boost cultural footfall by utilising arts and creativity, thereby making Hemel a premier destination for arts and culture.
