A council is eager to discover the views of members of the public on a development that will change the face of Borehamwood.

Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council will be holding a meeting at the Ark Theatre in Borehamwood next Monday to discuss Hertsmere Borough Council’s Elstree Way Corridor Area Action Plan.

A new draft of the plan for more than 800 houses and associated infrastructure has been drawn up following public meetings last year and Hertsmere Council is consulting residents on it.

The town council is holding the meeting, which will start at 7.30pm, to provide council tax payers with an opportunity to hear the facts and make up their own minds.

This will be a pilot and, if successful, the town council is hoping to create a Town Planning Forum, like the Town Transport Forum, that will meet a couple of times a year and will be an arena for members of the public to discuss new develpments.
