The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) has no current plans to re-open a driving test centre in Hemel Hempstead. Previously, Hemel Hempstead was a part time test centre with a very low demand.

There is adequate testing provision at the surrounding centres in Luton, Watford and St Albans.

If the Council or local Government now have potentially suitable locations for the DVSA to operate a limited service from and share details of those with the agency, it will consider all options. Any potential location would need to broadly mirror the terms shared previously.
