Our Village
Exciting news! Not only is our AGM on Wednesday, 18th May, but it’s the day that Lords are officially taking over the running of the Post Office. Sadly this means we’ll no longer be seeing the lovely, welcoming Kaye each day. We wish her well and send our most grateful thanks to Kaye for her friendly and efficient service, providing an important connection for us to be able to send gifts and cards to loved ones we weren’t able to visit in the last two years. We should also, once again, thank Tilak Patel, MD of Lords, for kindly providing the floor space for the Post Office booth and more importantly for generously agreeing for Lords to take over the running of the Post Office counter themselves, including the notorious PO accounting system.
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!
