Increase in crime concerns local traders

Crime was second only to the contentious issue of parking as a major concern for local traders at the North Finchley Business Forum held at Trinity Church on 1 December.

Parking – the live rail of local politics

I’ve fought the temptation to write too much here about the issue of Parking – mainly because it is one of those issues that seems to polarise people.

Community Safety & Cleanliness in Finchley

I’ve now had the minutes from the North Finchley Business Forum meeting the other week. You can download the whole thing here if you like (PDF file).

It doesn’t contain [...]

Open Gaming Day – Saturday 29th October

I’ve had an email from Mike Berry of Leisure Games on Ballards Lane about an Open Gaming Day at the shop on Saturday 29th October. On the day, a couple of members of the Finchley Games Club spending the day at the shop playing games and encouraging customers to join in. There are several objectives: [...]

North Finchley Business Forum – a few points that came up

Last night, I was at the North Finchley Business Forum meeting, hosted jointly by Barnet Council and a company called North London Business. It was interesting, and (up to a point) very positive. It is the first in a series of meetings – the next one is pencilled in for late November (details to follow [...]

Cutting the cost of cutting carbon emissions in Finchley

Just a quick note to plug the Energise Barnet project. It’s a collaborative buying scheme that helps with the purchase of domestic solar panels and provides help with insulation. They’re currently bidding for some funding from the Pitch Pledge Party – one click from you on the website will help support their case – vote [...]
