Tony told shopkeepers: “It will be a priority for Labour to cap rent rises to the rate of inflation for community shopping centres around the town. Labour has a plan to put the heart back into Hemel and we’ll be taking that message to Gadebridge, Bennetts End, Adeyfield, Woodhall Farm, Grovehill and Highfield.”
