The small numbers after figure labels refer to this key. They show how a figure was made, not how accurate it is. Open any figure to see its source, date and important limits.
Published council-wide context for councils linked to Hertford, not a finding about the whole place or a property.
These records are published for councils linked to known active postcodes in this place. The councils cover a wider area: a listed designation is not a finding that it intersects this town or any property. The list may not be exhaustive. AQMAs are management designations, not measured pollution concentrations, property exposure or clean-air charging zones. Absence of a designation is not evidence of clean air. Great Britain only; Northern Ireland mapping is not included.

Named records from the publisher’s mapped dataset intersecting the official Hertford settlement outline, including boundary contact.
These are named records in the publisher’s mapped 2021 Nitrate Vulnerable Zones dataset whose polygons intersect this place’s current official mapped settlement outline, including boundary-only contact. This does not mean the whole town or any property is in a zone. NVZ rules concern agricultural land management, not household restrictions or a measurement of nitrate or drinking-water safety. Absence of a listed record is not evidence of clean water. Historical/type and status labels are reproduced without interpreting their current legal force. England only; separate Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish regimes are not represented.
Dataset reference period: 2021. Imported 19 October 2026.
Original published categories whose polygons intersect the official Hertford settlement outline, including boundary contact.
These are original category codes and definitions from the retained Source Protection Zones (Merged) dataset whose polygons intersect this place’s official mapped settlement outline, including boundary-only contact. This is not a whole-town or property designation, a finding about a drinking-water supply, or evidence of contamination, water quality or risk. These definitions do not identify individual supplies. Dataset dates do not establish current legal status. Absence of a listed category does not establish that land or a property is outside a zone. England only; separate Welsh, Scottish and Northern Irish regimes are not represented. Precautionary groundwater abstraction and land-use designation at a postcode centroid, not an address-level finding or drinking-water quality result. Outside a mapped zone does not establish clean or unprotected groundwater. Welsh zones and the separate Scottish and Northern Irish regimes are not represented.
Zone 1 — inner protection zone, within a 50-day groundwater travel time of the abstraction
Zone 2 — outer protection zone, within a 400-day groundwater travel time of the abstraction
Zone 3 — total catchment, the whole area of ground needed to support the abstraction

Broadband and mobile connectivity
Ofcom publishes these fixed-broadband, full-fibre take-up and mobile coverage profiles for named local and unitary authorities, rather than for town boundaries. They are shown as wider council-area context for Hertford; availability figures are provider predictions, not measurements at every address.
These highlights come from complete all-premises and residential broadband profiles, both published full-fibre take-up measures, the complete 2G, 3G, 4G, voice, 5G and standalone-5G network-count profiles, and the premises and grid-pixel counts used as the mobile basis. View every published broadband, full-fibre and mobile value.
