Councillors are also encouraging motorists to other forms of sustainable transport for the day, while raising awareness of the various benefits that active travel, such as cycling and walking, have to climate change, health, the air we breathe and the local economy.

A Service of Commemoration for Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II was held this evening, Sunday 18 September, at St Mary’s Church in Hendon followed by a minute’s silence observed at Hendon Town Hall.

A landlord has been ordered to pay £24,000 in a fine and costs after Barnet Council inspectors found he had been housing five tenants in a dangerous property.

They discovered issues including damaged doors and an insecure front door at the House of Multiple Occupancy (HMO). Officers reported an overbearing smell and a first-floor landing blocked by so many items that a tenant had to climb over them to enter and leave his room.
