I am trying to trace a missing link in my family tree and wonder whether your readers can help with information regarding Sarah Jane Bent, who I believe had two sons and passed away sometime between 1960 and 1963 in the Borehamwood area.

Council has set a precedent with development

1:24pm Friday 29th January 2010

Shame on you, Hertsmere Borough Council, for supporting the greedy “garden grabbers”. You have set a precedent in the area by approving the development of a three-bedroom detached house in the garden of 15 Mornington Road, Radlett. The building is to be crammed against neighbours’ boundaries, with no rear garden of its own. It is to be in the style of a chalet, clad in timber and therefore totally out of character with the surrounding buildings.

Get your money back

1:28pm Friday 29th January 2010

Sadly Music In-Tuition, which started life above a shop near the station in Borehamwood, is no more. If you were a student who signed up to the compulsory automated payment by credit card, write to your credit card company and they will make a claim as preferential creditors. Thanks to all the dedicated teachers who have stuck with it over the years.
