Weekly roll-up
The week in Dacorum · 2026-W31
27 July 2026 – 2 August 2026. Daily briefings stay live and noindexed unless the desk also filed a named story that day.
2026-W31 in Dacorum ran from 27 July 2026 to 2 August 2026. This page is the indexed week. Daily weather-and-crime briefings stay up as live follow pages; they are not the paper.
What the desk actually filed starts with Bovingdon Market closed in 2022. The airfield is a film studio now. Bovingdon Market is not Dacorum’s Saturday morning.
Also on the file: Tring Reservoirs: four lakes, a canal summit, and a serious bird list.
Taylor Wimpey is back at Homefield. The parish minutes are the public record is still open. Read the serial, not a weather paragraph.
