With, at one point, five sad looking, empty shops in the village, and then various closure rumours, it’s reminded us once again how vital a vibrant high street is for Chorleywood and wherever possible we should use it, or risk losing it.  Our motto that “Chorleywood is as good or as we make it…or as bad as we let it become,” applies to our high street as much as anything in the village.  So let’s engage with our shop keepers, old and new alike, and if there’s something we’d like stocked or think would work better, let’s suggest it? Let’s work with them to get the businesses that we want, that way we all win!
