Byelaws are local laws made by a council requiring something to be done (or not done) in a specific area.
Many byelaws in North Hertfordshire were revoked in 2018 because they were either obsolete as they dealt with issues which are no longer relevant, or they had been superseded by current legislation. Information on the Revocation Byelaws can be found below.
For parish and town council byelaws, contact the relevant Parish Council.
