Barnet Council has today launched the ‘They’ve had the COVID-19 vaccine, will you?’ campaign which features three faces from different Barnet communities who have had the vaccine.

Barnet Council discovered the property was an unlicenced House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO) after being called to the scene in Hall Lane by the London Fire Brigade.

Hadley Highstone is a Grade II-listed plinth-mounted stone obelisk, located at the junction of Kitts End Road and the A1000 in Chipping Barnet, and dates back to 1740.

It is also important to stress that while violent crimes are still being committed, London remains one of the safest cities in the world. The Metropolitan Police have established a number of different initiatives to keep our borough safe, including the specialist Predatory Offender Units to arrest and charge those who carry out violence. While we continuously work on preventative measures to stop these crimes from happening, we hope that women and girls of all ages across Barnet find this booklet useful. 

Now it has been transformed into a large scale vaccination centre, run by the Royal Free London, to vaccinate thousands of people in the fight against COVID-19.
