Following the resignation of Councillor Ammar Naqvi, a by-election will be held for one councillor in the Burnt Oak ward on Thursday 13 February 2025. Polling stations in Burnt Oak will be open from 7am-10pm.

In among the cherished time we spend with family and friends, the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day is usually a period for reflection and planning as we make resolutions and look to the new year with hope.

As I reflect on the past year, I’m reminded of all the people I’ve met across Barnet who serve their communities and who work together to make this borough the great place it is.
