Labour's Successful Fight to Save Community Shops

Hertsmere Labour Group, the Town Council Labour Group, Labour MEP Richard Howitt, along with Prospective MP Kelly Tebb and County Councillors Brian York and John Metcalf all united in their determination to ensure the survival of the Town's two Community Shops. This effort has now been rewarded.

First the Borough Labour Group, at the Council meeting in February, secured a promise from the Tory Leader of Hertsmere to match fund the Town Council's grant. We now look to him to make good his promise.

Now, and thanks to them, the Labour Controlled Town Council have decided to make a substantial one off grant to secure the Community Shop's; existence until more permanent funding can be found. By doing this the two shops will be able to carry on providing help and advice for all of our community.
