Hertsmere CA, Hertfordshire / Middlesex

Hertsmere is a council area. It forms the lower tier ('district') in a two-tier system of local government, with the Hertfordshire council area forming the upper tier. The name "Hertsmere" was coined by combining the common abbreviation of Hertfordshire ("Herts") with "mere", an archaic word for a boundary, referencing the fact that the council area straddles the Middlesex - Hertfordshire border.
