Save Your Local Business Support

I am now retired and help HIB out a couple of times a month on a volunteer basis
However I was a freelance business adviser/ mentor working for HIB and similar agencies throughout NW, South and central London for some 12 years. Without doubt HIB was the best - the most effective, easiliest to deal with from all sides and yet the nicest.
In my 12 years as a freelance I helped in well in excess of 1200 businesses to start up or stay in business - the majority of these still trading and most through HIB. This would not be the case without HIB in operation. Many such as me would agree beyond doubt.
Obviously these businesses bring wealth, confidence and well-being to Harrow for a comparitive small outlay. Why stop?
Harrow council is being tremendously short sighted and,without mincing words, stupid to even consider cutting their budget. The area will suffer without the services of HIB and any savings simply not cost effective.
