Welcome to the seventh
Town Guide published by
Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council.
Our first Guide was published in 1950 when this Authority was known
under its original name of Elstree Parish Council. At that time
the Parish consisted of 2195 acres and had an estimated population
of 9000.
In order to attract more residents to the rapidly expanding Borehamwood,
the Guide boasted that a ‘moderate rainfall and excellent
sunshine record combine with an invigorating  atmosphere
to provide a most healthy climate’.
The second Guide celebrated our centenary in 1994 by which time
the town had nearly 30,000 residents, and the third guide celebrated
the Millennium.
Throughout those changing times this Council has acted as the ‘grass
roots’ Authority.
We feel that Elstree and Borehamwood Town Council is already leading
the way into the next one hundred years by providing many community
services, local events and activities to the benefit of all in an
efficient and cost effective manner.
We hope you will find this Town Guide useful to keep as both a souvenir
and a handy reference source.
