The Familiar facade of the launderette may soon disappear from the parade of shops along the Avenue.
A planning application has been submitted for the premises to change usage to veterinary consulting rooms. The application, made by Walton Lodge Veterinary Group Ltd. can be viewed at East Herts Online Planning, ref 3/12/1964/FP. If you have any comments to make on the planning merits of the application write to Tom Ayres at EHDC, Wallfileds, Hertford or email him via planning@eastherts.gov.uk by Thursday 10th January.
In 2011 the The Hertfordshire Primary Care Trust refused an application for preliminary consent prior to inclusion in the pharmaceutical list. The applicant, Ms Sharief, appealed against the decision and the panel recommended the application should be granted and the appeal against the decision of Hertfordshire PCT to refuse the original application should be allowed.
So it seems the launderette will be going but what will replace it, vets, pharmacy or perhaps something else. Send us your thoughts, ideas and any wash day memories.
