Just can't keep away

Having spent just one day in the Hendon office I just had to get back to Borehamwood yesterday.

Suruchi and I headed over to the office in Drayton Road to find out what was going on.

After just three minutes of being in the office and with coats still on, we were greeted by no less than three visitors.

After catching my breath, with notepad and pen in hand, I hit Shenley Road.

Speaking to shopkeepers in the high street it is worrying to hear some of the fears small business owners have about surviving the economic crisis.

With competition from bigger stores, rents and rates just some of the woes I heard the air of concern is really palpable.

Let's hope that measures taken by the Government and business support groups help the much-loved smaller stores ride the storm.

Do you own a business in Borehamwood and do you think the Governement and council are doing enough to help?
