Will take a wander down later and give my opinion.

It might also be worth bearing in mind that the Bircherley Green estate includes shops fronting Railway Street - from Cactus to Lloyds Bank and the premises above.
I noticed yesterday that Cactus were having a "closing down sale".Statistics:Posted by newcomer — Tue 17 Jun, 2014 9:03 am

I'm trying to work out why Diageo ( a big drinks co) is owner of Bircheley Green? have I got this wrong? I'm sure the Hertford Illuminati will be able to answer..
Lots of large companies use their cash funds to finance other ventures. Equipment financing is very popular for this.Statistics:Posted by xnetco — Thu 05 Jun, 2014 1:50 pm

And, maybe being pedantic, the proposed Waitrose at Little Amwell is almost as far from Ware as Hertford is. They might have pitched this as "moving" the Hertford store, but I believe that was just posturing to put added pressure on the District Council in order to to free up Diageo. They even said they hoped to retain a presence in Hertford (so not moving at all).
I would bet a tidy sum that there'll still be a Waitrose in Hertford ten years from now. And a more appealing Bircherley Green too.

"Reports that say there's -- that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things that we know that we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns, the ones we don't know we don't know."
My guess is that Waitrose and maybe others in BG are putting some pressure on the authority (and possibly now the owner) regarding the local amenities including the car park as sub-standard facilities for their needs and are looking at options which the council couldn't afford so taking them out of the equation. The situation with the bus terminus is interesting - now its up to the owners (and Waitrose) to do a cost benefit analysis on whether its worth ripping it apart and renovating or Waitrose moving to Ware - if they move then the owners have an awfully big plot of land with sweet FA to occupy it except a bus terminal and cafe. I really couldn't see a lot of the others hanging around if there's not the footfall for Waitrose. Some interesting negotiations to be had!
