Its been a busy few days - last night saw your local councillors and about 50 people at our Area Forum where - amongst other things, we discussed how to spend our "local "£20,000. There were lots of suggestions and we were able to agree on most of them - improving the area outside the library, providing "community" noticeboards, holding a "Give and Take" day, repainting Mill Lane rail bridge and providing winter hanging baskets in Mill Lane were all popular ideas.

We also discussed the proposals for the new Brent Cross/Cricklewood development (see our post on Friday 20 November) and the effect these might have on traffic generation in our area. One resident was particularly worried about extra traffic in Westbere Road and we were able to say that Camden's traffic officers have agreed to look at improving the traffic calming measures in Westbere Road. However what is worrying is that Barnet have recently resurfaced Lichfield Road and taken out the traffic calming measures there (and of course Lichfield is the northern end of Westbere Road) They are asking for comment/reaction to this change - so if you live that way or use the road, please tell us so we can pass on your comments or email Dean.Tomlinson@barnet.gov.uk ref CR/RS/Lichfield Road - before Dec 11th.
