The threat posed to businesses in Glenhaven Avenue is a worrying prospect, not just for the workers whose jobs are potentially at risk, but for the residents who rely on them.
It is important that small businesses, which offer a valuable service to residents, are given all the support they need to continue operating.But with 5,000 more homes needed in the borough before 2021, Hertsmere Borough Council is left in a difficult position.The worry is that, with such lofty housing targets, Borehamwood's infrastructure will come under increasing pressure and shops and businesses will be pushed out, leaving a town without the resources needed to serve the increased community.
