Blackhorse Lane Business Forum

The Blackhorse Lane area is undergoing unprecedented change and will be

facing a host of opportunities over the near and long term future. Businesses

will see temporary as well as permanent changes. The forum will initially be led

by significant businesses in the Blackhorse Lane area. Whilst changes may

affect individual businesses in different ways, the forum will act for the greater

good of the area for business as a whole, which will have a knock-on effect for

every business. Individual business issues such as relocation will not be

discussed in the main body of the meeting, though those that wish can discuss

informally after the meeting.
