The Rickmansworth High Street pedestrianisation has received backlash from both business owners and councillors.
Some Rickmansworth businesses have claimed High Street is being “destroyed” by pedestrianisation measures after a six-month consultation closed this week.
Manager of Hob hair salon, Natasha Knight, said: “There has been no consideration of businesses when the council decided to close the street to cars. It hasn’t helped us at all, everyone is feeling the struggle of decline in business. Alison Love, owner of F.L Dickins, said: “I have been at the shop for 40 years and have never seen it this quiet. My grandad started the business in 1949 and we have seen a lot of change in the high street, but this hasn’t helped at all.”
