A MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR THIS PAST YEAR HAS BEEN A DIFFICULT ONE FOR OUR LOCAL BUSINESSES, WHO HAVE HAD TO FACE SO MANY CHALLENGES DURING THE PANDEMIC. I AM THEREFORE DELIGHTED TO SEE OUR TOWN OPEN FOR BUSINESS AGAIN AND REALLY HEARTENED TO SEE SO MANY OF OUR LOCAL RETAILERS, RESTAURANTS AND CAFES WELCOME CUSTOMERS ONCE MORE. I AM ALWAYS CONSCIOUS OF HOW FORTUNATE HARPENDEN IS TO HAVE SUCH A WIDE VARIETY OF PLACES TO SHOP, EAT OR RELAX IN, PARTICULARLY THE MANY INDEPENDENT BUSINESSES IN THE TOWN PROVIDING THEIR OWN UNIQUE BLEND OF PRODUCTS AND SERVICES; IT MAKES HARPENDEN A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE, WORK IN OR VISIT. I WOULD LIKE TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO JOIN ME IN HELPING TO SUPPORT OUR TOWN’S BUSINESSES BY VISITING OUR SHOPS, CAFES AND RESTAURANTS TO PICK UP OUR ESSENTIALS, SEEK OUT THOSE SPECIAL GIFTS, PICK UP A COFFEE OR BITE TO EAT OR BROWSE FOR THE LATEST FASHION. SEE YOU THERE!

WITH BEST WISHES. CLLR MRS NICOLA LINACRE TOWN MAYOR OF HARPENDEN
