Your town is changing without you knowing anything about it. We hope we can do something to retain the history and the spirit of the town of Barnet. It is important to keep the identities of the various London towns that have been swallowed up by boroughs. Some, like ours, The London Borough of Barnet, have taken the name of the town, using it to publicise various projects that are nowhere near where we live. The Bull Arts Centre could be sold, Barnet Football Club could lose their ground,The Torrington ( one of the best North London Music venues) closes down as could the golf courses at Oak Hill Park and Bethune Park. Our nearest police station to report a crime is Colindale and now the register office in Wood Street closes down and you will have to get wed in Burnt Oak. AND THE MARKET IS TO BE MADE INTO FLATS, which means we lose another part of our Barnet heritage. We used to have an Olympic size swimming pool in Finchley (it was used for water polo in the 1948 Olympics). Now we have a tiny pool that also has to compensate for the closing down of the indoor pool in Squires Lane. The old fire station in Leicester/Lytton Road is pulled down to make way for even MORE flats with one little advert in the local paper, that most of you probably never saw, informing you of the fact. People assumed there was a preservation order on the building, and most of those we spoke to thought it would be put to better use as a community youth club for kids who hang around outside a supermarket near you.
