About the Hertfordshire Local Information System (HertsLIS)

The Hertfordshire Local Information System website, formerly known as the Hertfordshire Observatory, enables access to a wide range of data, information and intelligence relating to the county of Hertfordshire. Content includes economic development, community safety strategies, community and corporate plans, area profiles, socio-economic data, demographic data, crime and policing statistics and much more. The audience for the site ranges from large multi-national corporations to local SMEs. From students working on projects to professional researchers, from those providing services to Hertfordshire citizens to the general public and individuals from home and abroad who have an interest in the county and what it offers. Please note that some documents might still refer to the Hertfordshire Observatory.

The website is in a state of transition as we make regular changes to the site to ensure it meets the needs of its various users. To help us to achieve this objective, user feedback is important so it would be most useful if you would take a few moments to complete the feedback questionnaire. To access the questionnaire, please follow the website user feedback link shown at the right of this page.
