The council has continued to use this funding to support community groups in the borough by offering them free equipment to carry out their own litter picking events.

The form ensures that Barnet Council can keep the Register of Electors up to date and identify any residents who are not registered so that they can be encouraged to do so. This will mean that once registered residents will be able take part in any future elections.

This initiative gives residents with project ideas the ability to attract funding from the community, council, businesses and foundations through one portal. We raised £350,000 for good causes during our original partnership, with more than 1,000 people getting involved and pledging money.

Barnet Council and GLL would like to apologise to customers for the extended closure of the pools at Finchley Lido Leisure Centre. In the interest of customer safety, the council made the decision to close public access to the pool in March 2019 to complete essential roof repairs, which were identified as part of a condition survey.

The event, which is sponsored by Oracle, recognises the outstanding contribution and impact apprentices make across London local government.

The Worshipful Mayor of Barnet, Councillor Caroline Stock, attended the event on Tuesday 3 September, which was at Middlesex University. See her have a go on the Motiview exercise bike, where residents can cycle – digitally – to wherever they’d like to go. Mohammed Facey, aged 82, who also tried it out on Tuesday, said: “I found the Motiview exercise bike easy to use. I’d like to use it again!”

You only need to register once – you do not need to register separately for every election, but you must register again if you’ve changed address, name or nationality. If you aren't sure whether you are registered to vote and on the electoral register please email ero@barnet.gov.uk or phone 020 8359 5577

New Barnet Leisure Centre, in the heart of the local community within Victoria Recreation Ground will operate as a cashless facility and features a range of new modern innovations. Residents can now enjoy access to a learner pool, 25m six-lane community pool, café, health and fitness suite, two studios, two health improvement rooms, a partnership library, outdoor tennis courts, a multi-use games area, and a new and improved area for children and young people.

Detailed plans are still being finalised, but the works are expected to start in November, and are likely to last up to six months. The council’s primary focus is on delivering a solution that best enables it to run its street scene services with minimum disruption. The council is currently exploring a number of changes to operations, including weekend working.
