Weekly roll-up
3 August 2026 – 9 August 2026. Daily briefings stay live and noindexed unless the desk also filed a named story that day.
2026-W32 in Dacorum ran from 3 August 2026 to 9 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 Ashridge in high summer: monument queues, bluebell memories and a 5,000-acre public estate. Ashridge is 5,000 acres of Chiltern woodland, common and chalk downland, with a Gothic Revival house at Little Gaddesden and a 1832 monument to the Canal Duke on the ridge.
Also on the file: The 35-minute question: commuting from Dacorum to Euston.
Taylor Wimpey is back at Homefield. The parish minutes are the public record is still open. Read the serial, not a weather paragraph.
Environment
The National Trust woods above Berkhamsted and Aldbury are Dacorum’s greatest outdoor asset. They are also busier than they look on a Tuesday in February.

Transport
Hemel, Apsley, Berkhamsted, Tring and Kings Langley live on the West Coast Main Line. When the timetable coughs, the borough stops.
