Fly-tipping is a nationwide issue and cases have increased across the country in the last year compared to previous years. Barnet is also experiencing an increase.

Fly-tipping is illegal disposal of rubbish and includes leaving rubbish on the street, in public areas or in an alleyway. If it’s not put in a bin or taken to a disposal site but left for someone else to clear up, it is illegal.

The cost for a year of bin collections will be held at £70 for one bin and £50 for each additional bin. These are the same charges as last years’ service. Residents who sign up in time for the start of the service will receive around 23 fortnightly collections.

Barnet Council’s plans for transforming rundown buildings on The Burroughs and Church End in Hendon, including provision of a new library, enhanced public spaces, and facilities for Middlesex University, have been put forward for review in a public consultation launched today (26 February).

The announcement by Prime Minister Boris Johnson on Monday (22 February) of the relaxation of COVID-19 lockdown restrictions comes at a time when reported cases and deaths from the virus have dropped significantly across Barnet and the rest of London. We should all be proud of the sacrifices that we have made during lockdown, which have no doubt saved many lives. I thank all of you who have done so much to keep others safe at this time.

Work on installing network starts this month (February 2021), with Barnet Council partnering with internet service provider Community Fibre to rollout the gigabit fibre pilot scheme. This will see installation of an alternative network to existing telephone lines, to serve Grahame Park with new faster, affordable, and more reliable internet connections.
