Food Hygiene Assessments: Since 2008 Three Rivers District Council (TRDC) has given food businesses a rating of 0-5 stars depending on the results of hygiene inspections.

Rickmansworth: This weeks e-news from the local Liberal Democrats
Good News - Liberal Democrat-run Three Rivers is one of the local authorities allocated money from the High Street Innovation Fund. Our share is £100,000.

If you have any ideas about how this money should be spent to achieve its aims, please let us know. ........................................
