We are sorry we couldn't persuade enough people to support us to make a change in Mill Hill, but please rest assurred that we are here for the long term and will continue to work for our community. <div><br /></div><div>A special thanks to all our friends who delivered leaflets, contributed to printing costs, helped on polling day and helped us canvass.<br /><p></p><p>Although we didn't win the ward, we did manage to force the local Conservatives to do a U-Turn on the plan for a permanent fun fair in Mill Hill park. We just hope they keep their promises now!</p><p>Our team will continue to work for the people of Mill Hill and we genuinely believe that in 2026, after four years of a Labour council, Mill Hill will want to be represented by people who stand up for Mill Hill and who concentrate on our neighbourhood. The campaign starts today to win in Mill Hill in 2026. Please join the Lib Dems and help us build a team to win next time. </p><p><b>Richard Logue, Donna Pickup and Roger Tichborne</b></p><p>Your Mill Hill Lib Dem focus team and candidates in 2022</p></div>Rog Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08139705078907584931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342655646954582491.post-4709006217657931992022-05-03T07:29:00.003-07:002022-05-03T07:29:51.521-07:00Meet your Mill Hill Lib Dem Candidates<p><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvQQDAPXIHpdRjsX1qeC9XRIE6HspQipdcyKn8cFc7QC9jXpvDSYvFOe58jmlGdYG130IDdDdxXMMODC_t88w0s54R63K9QKGrvQH_vyEqqikQ4RQNMw4uZgytgQlLVcrEhWSJbz3AjX1nZbZowp8qMlv3v3Nb0xoFzLbtcqwgJ1d_bQDtIw641A/s400/LibDemlogo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="400" data-original-width="400" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvQQDAPXIHpdRjsX1qeC9XRIE6HspQipdcyKn8cFc7QC9jXpvDSYvFOe58jmlGdYG130IDdDdxXMMODC_t88w0s54R63K9QKGrvQH_vyEqqikQ4RQNMw4uZgytgQlLVcrEhWSJbz3AjX1nZbZowp8qMlv3v3Nb0xoFzLbtcqwgJ1d_bQDtIw641A/w200-h200/LibDemlogo.jpg" width="200" /></a></span></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;"><br />Richard Logue, Donna Pickup and Roger Tichborne </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: inherit; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">are standing in the local elections this Thursday 5th May for the Liberal Democrats in Mill Hill ward.

scheduled to take place on Copthall playing fields on Saturday 20<sup>th</sup>
August. You can find full details at </span><a href="https://www.51stfestival.com/"><b><span style="font-family: "Open Sans", sans-serif; line-height: 107%;">https://www.51stfestival.com/</span></b></a> - The website says "Subject to Licence", which is why it is of the utmost importance that residents are aware of this event and have an opportunity to express their views. It seems very strange to us that the website is running and tickets are available, without a licence being agreed for such a large event. We are concerned that the local councillors may have agreed to park the application until after the local elections on 5th May, to avoid embarrassing questions.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">The festival will take
place on Green Belt fields in Copthall (not in the stadium) and will run from <b>11am until 10pm</b>
according to details on the website. Tickets are on sale now. Artists featured include <a href="https://ra.co/dj/kennydope/biography">Kenny Dope</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dennis_Ferrer">Dennis Ferrer</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Residents will be familiar with the long queues for
buses to Copthall when Saracens play. This event will be on a similar size, but
as a far lower number of people attending are likely to be from NW7, <b>huge
crowds will be hanging around Mill Hill until the early hours of the morning,
having been revelling since 10am</b>,<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>waiting for transport home.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Whilst we are all for events and activities that are
good for local residents and the local economy, we were disturbed to learn of <b>an
article in the Enfield Independent</b> detailing the <b>damage caused to Trent
Park </b>the last time the festival was held there, resulting in Enfield
Council banning the festival from the Borough (</span><a href="https://www.enfieldindependent.co.uk/news/19528672.enfield-council-pledges-repair-trent-country-park-festival/"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">https://www.enfieldindependent.co.uk/news/19528672.enfield-council-pledges-repair-trent-country-park-festival/</span></a><span style="font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">)<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We are most surprised that the local Conservative
Councillors are so quiet about the whole subject. We know Barnet Council is
desperately seeking to generate cash from local parks and believe such events
to be most lucrative. Sadly, it will be NW7 residents who <b>pay the price with
traffic, noise and disruption.<o:p></o:p></b></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Your local <b>Mill Hill Lib Dem candidates</b> raised
the issue with Barnet Council as soon as we learned of the plans and were
simply informed that ‘discussions were ongoing’. We raised a series of
objections. We have not yet received the assurances we had hoped for that
residents would be properly consulted and listened to. If you want Councillors
who represent you and are willing to fight your corner when such proposals are
made, please <b>vote Lib Dem on May 5<sup>th</sup></b>.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">We are available to discuss any issues you think should
be dealt with. Please contact us by email at </span><a href="mailto:millhill@barnetlibdems.org.uk"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">millhill@barnetlibdems.org.uk</span></a><span style="font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: "Open Sans",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Please use your three votes for the Liberal Democrat
team who are fighting for your interests here in Mill Hill. <b>If you have a
POSTAL VOTE please use it now to Vote LIB DEM.</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>Rog Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08139705078907584931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342655646954582491.post-85180204608862184832022-04-17T04:46:00.003-07:002022-04-22T11:11:01.380-07:00Mill Hill's parks are under threat - Update<p><table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy2JS8qs-B9KDzqhTrqljzC8aKLD-gRIgv2fQrZ3eHFforUfJ2mwJpsH8i4jVXY0-u3lcHbRqsCUyT6mhycB7ExDXJq_Fi6nGH6IDZzBRvkuP9ItlHGkKcwtdZJlVrJL0EmgunfpyX4BcguEN7iy-hyLtnx5nT1ELkXOP2Lg1_Z_xdy0P_dRTBWg/s1600/barnet%20Tories%20park.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="739" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiy2JS8qs-B9KDzqhTrqljzC8aKLD-gRIgv2fQrZ3eHFforUfJ2mwJpsH8i4jVXY0-u3lcHbRqsCUyT6mhycB7ExDXJq_Fi6nGH6IDZzBRvkuP9ItlHGkKcwtdZJlVrJL0EmgunfpyX4BcguEN7iy-hyLtnx5nT1ELkXOP2Lg1_Z_xdy0P_dRTBWg/s320/barnet%20Tories%20park.jpg" width="148" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Conservative Facebook post</td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-size: medium;"><b>STOP PRESS.

It has been a Conservative controlled council since 2002. Prior to that it was run by a coalition, where the Lib Dems were able to achieve many good things for our community. We have a month to win back Mill Hill. Labour has never won a seat in the ward and the Lib Dems had councillors throughout the 1990's until 2010. In the last Euro elections, the Lib Dems won convincingly in Mill Hill ward, the only elections where there was a fair system of proportional representation. If you want to see a better Mill Hill, the Lib Dems are the only party that will deliver it. </p><p>Your canditates are</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8buhvglaMUw8ZN4aS0Jq5UFIpRNt0fYRtYh4skr-4ZOXBnr-dUdu1LCcU2VdnPxnnmLSCPOlnISwUJmsmP1CYWDsDSLg7Eijqv9kMLfLI3l6PhPsmhZC1xgyYuHEvU08hP7VDj8qt7Pp24cEequIZcftQ8u8QlzqvYY9ti3zKKLR23aTJvBdBeA/s1024/MHLD.jpg" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="906" data-original-width="1024" height="283" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8buhvglaMUw8ZN4aS0Jq5UFIpRNt0fYRtYh4skr-4ZOXBnr-dUdu1LCcU2VdnPxnnmLSCPOlnISwUJmsmP1CYWDsDSLg7Eijqv9kMLfLI3l6PhPsmhZC1xgyYuHEvU08hP7VDj8qt7Pp24cEequIZcftQ8u8QlzqvYY9ti3zKKLR23aTJvBdBeA/s320/MHLD.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Richard Logue</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Donna Pickup</span></b></p><p><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Roger Tichborne</span></b></p><p>We are proud to have the opportunity to represent you.

These are the things we will be fighting for, if we are elected as councillors</p><p>* Value for money for Council Tax Payers - We will use our experience of running our business to make sure your money is not wasted.</p><p>* Fix potholes and roads properly - We live locally so we will make sure that contractors do road repairs properly. We will not simply fob off residents with excuses</p><p>* Protect the Green Belt - We will take protection of the Green Belt seriously. The Conservatives only take it seriously at election times!</p><p>* Work to improve public transport and cycling in Mill Hill - Twelve years after our local Tory MP Matthew Offord was elected promising step free access for Mill Hill, we will work with Network Rail and TFL to deliver it. Team member Richard Logue is an expert in Rail Infrastructure and we will use his expertise to get things done</p><p>* Make sure that the residents are listened to - The first thing the Conservatives did when they were re-elected in 2018 was to change the rules on public scrutiny of council meetings, making it almost impossible for residents to hold the council to account. We will make you voice heard and give you the opportunity to ask proper questions of councillors and officers at local meetings and forums.</p><p>We can only do this with your support! </p><p>Here is the key information - <a href="https://www.barnet.gov.uk/elections-and-voting/elections/local-government-elections-5-may-2022/local-elections-statement">WHO IS STANDING IN YOUR WARD</a></p><h2 style="font-family: nta, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 32px; line-height: 40px; margin: 1.04167em 0px 0.41667em; padding-bottom: 9px; padding-top: 6px;">Important deadlines for voters</h2><ul style="font-family: nta, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><li style="line-height: 24px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="https://www.barnet.gov.uk/elections-and-voting/how-vote/register-vote" style="color: #007078; font-weight: 600; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Register to vote">register to vote</a> by midnight, <strong>Thursday 14</strong><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;"> April 2022</strong></li><li style="line-height: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="https://www.barnet.gov.uk/elections-and-voting/how-vote/apply-vote-post" style="color: #007078; font-weight: 600; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Apply for a postal vote">apply for a postal vote</a> by 5pm,<strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;"> Tuesday 19 April 2022</strong></li><li style="line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;"><a href="https://www.barnet.gov.uk/elections-and-voting/how-vote/apply-vote-proxy" style="color: #007078; font-weight: 600; margin-top: 0px; padding-top: 0px;" title="Apply for a proxy vote">apply for a proxy vote</a> by 5pm <strong>Tuesday 26 April</strong> <strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px;">2021</strong></li></ul><p style="font-family: nta, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 0px;"><strong style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">Polling day: Thursday 5 May 2022, from 7am to 10pm.</strong></p><h2 class="jump-to" id="title-3" style="font-family: nta, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 32px; line-height: 40px; margin: 1.04167em 0px 0.41667em; padding-bottom: 9px; padding-top: 6px;" tabindex="0">Barnet's ward boundaries have changed</h2><p style="font-family: nta, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 18px; line-height: 24px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding-bottom: 5px; padding-top: 0px;"><span style="line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-top: 0px;">New electoral arrangements for Barnet Council will come into effect at these elections on 5 May.

We said that it was the time for our community to come together and support the efforts of Barnet Council, our key workers and our amazing community groups to get us through the pandemic. We felt that this was the sensible and responsible thing to do. A lot of water has flowed under the bridge since then. Many of have been disappointed that whilst we made sensible sacrifices, those at the heart of power were not leading by example. Our remit has always been to focus on our community in Mill Hill, but we cannot ignore the fact that the amazing community response we saw locally was not reflected by our national leaders. We note that our local MP, Doctor Matthew Offord took time to<a href="https://www.matthewofford.co.uk/news/matthew-asks-urgent-question-met-police-conduct"> criticise the Metropolitan Police yesterday</a>, but has not said a word about the parties in No 10. Whilst we also deplore the appalling culture of racism and misogyny that has been exposed in the Met, we are disappointed that our MP seems to think anything goes in Downing Street and that the rules don't apply to the Prime Minister and his friends. In Mill Hill, people were on their doorsteps clapping NHS workers, whilst the Prime Minister partied away. Surely Dr Offord has something to say on the matter?<p></p><p><b>What has happened in Mill Hill since our last newsletter?</b></p><p>Closures and openings.</p><p>Abbey National and Barclays bank have closed, leaving The Nationwide as the only financial institution left on the Broadway. </p><p>Several well loved restaurants and food outlets have been lost, including Cannons Fish and Chip Shop, Bob's Cafe and Leyla's.

<p></p><p>We were disappointed that our feedback that Barnet Council should also address the issue of neglect of other wooded areas and parks in Mill Hill has been ignored.

Regular park users well know how a previous planting further up has been left to get overgrown with brambles and briars.</p><p>We are sorry to report that there has been a spate of vandalism and window smashing.

Our team has pointed out for over a decade that there is no reason that the entrance on Bunns Lane Car Park could not be opened and a bridge installed with lifts. Although this is not perfect, it would at least mean that people with access issues could use the station, as a precursor to a full lift option from the bus station. The platform bridge will be required.Team Member Richard is an expert on Public Transport and has helped draft many of the local requests to get funding for the project.

We just thought we'd post a short message to all of our friends in Mill Hill. The Covid19 crisis is a challenge for our community unrivalled since the second world war. Many businesses are struggling, many neighbours are going to be having financial difficulties.<br />
<br />
Barnet Council has a huge challenge on their hands. They are having to cope with extraordinary demands, whilst suffering staff shortages. The staff have been magnificent and unlike the rest of us, who are in lockdown, face daily risks.<br />
<br />
At this time, it is important we support each other, neighbours, businesses, council workers, and emergency services. There are some things we can do, which will make a difference.<br />
<br />
* Support local businesses. If you can order locally, do. This will make the difference. Local firms pay local taxes and employ local people. They have a loyalty to their staff that multi nationals may not.<br />
<br />
* Support Council workers. Don't throw litter away, clear up after your dog, don't engage in anti social behaviour. In short, don't make extra work for the Council<br />
<br />
* Support the Police. Reporting neighbours to the Police when you think they are going out too much is a waste of police time. Unless you know where people are going and that they are definitely acting in a highly irresponsible manner, then don't waste police time. Do you know that they haven't been asked to urgently attend to locked down friends, relatives and other members of the community? Let the police deal with the important things in Mill Hill.<br />
<br />
* Support your neighbours. Speak to them (at a sensible distance) let them know you can help them, or if you need help don't be afraid to ask. Be considerate. Play music at a reasonable level. Not everyone has your amazing taste and may not appreciate it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Mill Hill Town Square Public Drinking Area</span></b><br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, Mr John Gillett of the Mill Hill Neighbourhood forum has submitted an application for an alcohol and entertainments licence, to transform the 'Town Square' (area next to Boots on Brockenhurst Gardens) into a licensed public drinking area. Mr Gillett is proposing regular events in the space. The team at ABetterMillHill support the usage of the space for events, but we believe that Mr Gilletts proposal is flawed. We suggest a 7pm curfew on all events as part of the licence, to ensure neighbours are not subjected to noise and disturbance into the night. Our experience of events shows that it can take up to an hour and a half to clear the square and remove equipment etc. A 7pm limit would ensure that for all but very special occasions, no disruption would occur after 8.30pm. We also believe that this would encourage revellers to use local restaurants and the Bridge Pub (strangely Mr Gillett was unaware that there was a pub on the Broadway when questioned by the committee).<br />
<br />
Mr Gillett has suggested that this would prohibit the use of the space for live football screenings, etc, which can go on until 10.30pm. Our view is that if such events caused noise and disturbance until midnight, this would not be good for Mill Hill. Our view is that in the event of exceptional circumstances, a Temporary event notice should suffice. These cost a mere £21 and can last a week.<br />
<br />
We also have other concerns about the way the proposal suggests that the space is managed. As Mr Gillett suggested that there would be regular events for Children, we have suggested that all organisers of such events in a public space should be DBS checked. We believe this should be a fundamental part of the proposal. We would also like to see event organisers trained in safeguarding issues. We hope that Mr Gillett will concur and Mill Hill can move forward with a united front, having ironed out these small concerns of local residents. We are not seeking an argument with the Mill Hill Neighbourhood forum on this. </div>
<div>
<br />
Barnet Council have deferred the decision on the application for five days pending consideration.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>A response from A Better Mill Hill team to Mr John Gillett.</b><br />
<br />
At the Barnet council licensing committee meeting, during his submission, Mr John Gillett of the Mill Hill Neighbourhood forum publicly criticised the team at "A Better Mill Hill" by name for advising residents to contact us if they had an issue with reporting a pavement issue, pothole or other council infrastructure problem. Mr Gillett stated that this would stop people following the proper procedure and was in some way a troublesome proposal.<br />
<br />
Team member Donna Pickup said "It is a shame that John seems to have misunderstood our leaflet. Many older residents and other residents who have issues with IT are not able to use the<a href="https://www.barnet.gov.uk/your-council/contact-council/report-it-now"> councils Report It system</a>. We included the advice in our leaflet, so that we could help anyone who didn't understand the process for getting problems fixed. We would have thought John would support this initiative". Donna added "we are happy to report any problem for residents who can't report issues themselves. For those that can, but simply don't understand the process currently, we are happy to help them, so they can sort it out for themselves in future". We hope that John will support our efforts to get all such problems in Mill Hill properly reported. We would be more than happy to hear his suggestions for enabling people who cannot deal with the Councils IT systems. </div>

<b>Richard Wilkinson - A clarification by Roger Tichborne</b><br />
<br />
This newsletter, along with several other Mill Hill publications have been promoting the signposting website put together by Richard Wilkinson, a retired local resident. The site has several pages which contain links to various websites etc of interest to local residents, such as transport links, restaurant reviews and local sports clubs and music venues etc. Have a look, its really rather useful<br />
<br />
<a href="https://millhillbroadway.org/"><span style="font-size: x-large;">https://millhillbroadway.org/</span></a><br />
<br />
Whilst Richards site has been met with appreciation and received much traffic, a rather vicious campaign was waged against Richard this week on social media, with hundreds of messages posted on twitter by a single individual, inviting people to publish Richards address and other personal details in an effort to 'expose'' him. Rather disturbing claims were also made that various local organisations had been contacted to try and locate Richard. If these were true, it is clear that someone was trying to get local bodies to breach GDPR rules and disclose personal information.<br />
<br />
I met with Richard at Mill Hill Services club on Friday for a beer and he was quite bemused by all of the fuss. Richard, like many people who do not wish to have a high social media profile, used a pseudonym to set up the site. Anyone viewing the site will realise that this was not for any malicious intent as the site has no editorial content or opinion, but simply because he didn't want anyone bothering him. He is not active on social media and was concerned about 'cold callers and salesmen'. Given the level of harassment he would have received this week, he feels rather vindicated in this decision.<br />
<br />
When Richard first discussed his plans with me, I offered to let him use some of the website development tools that I pay a subscription for, which make putting together such a site easy. I have done this with quite a few other bands/artists/organisations etc over the years, with far less controversial results. I have also given him a hand with a few formatting issues when he got stuck. Much as I would love to take credit for an excellent site, Richard did all of the work and it is very much his baby.<br />
<br />
If anyone has any concerns about his site or the content or feels that there is anything misleading on it which you want to discuss with me, please DM me at my <a href="https://twitter.com/barneteye">@Barneteye</a> twitter handle. Richard has firmly stated that he has no interest at all in discussing anything with anyone who has posted malicious tweets about him.<br />
<br />
I invite the person responsible for the campaign to state clearly and concisely what issue they have with Richards site, why they feel he should be 'exposed' and what content is on the website that could possibly justify such a campaign. Should anyone really be that interested, there are people who were at the club who can confirm this, as we didn't meet in the secret basement, although I sincerely hope that the club and its members will not now become the target for a hate campaign as well.<br />
<br />
As with all of the content on this newsletter, we have been promoting the site as we think it is a useful resource for people in Mill Hill. We promote many things in Mill Hill, some that members of are team are involved with and some that they are not (such as the Jazz Club, St Keirnans Gaelic Football club, Mill Hill Village and the Rugby club) as we think they are good for the area. We hope people find these links interesting and useful.<br />
<br />
I will leave the last word to Richard "I hardly think the story would make a very gripping Sherlock Holmes film". </div>

<b>The Lib Dems are now officially the most popular political party in Barnet</b><br />
<br />
Last week we saw the announcement of the Euro election results. This gave voters their first opportunity since the Council elections last year to express their views about the state of the political parties. Barnet had a higher than the national average turnout and the Lib Dems topped the polls. In London the Lib Dems were by far the largest party and returned the most MEP's.<br />

Advice from the police will be given where required <br /><br />• In the event that a children's area is provided it will be monitored by stewards (who are DBS checked) at all times and signage will be displayed requiring parents/ legal guardians not to leave children unattended <br /><br />• The stage to be supervised by stewards at all times when a performance is taking place <br /><br />• Music will remain under the control of the event manager. <br /><br />• A point of contact will be advertised for residents to contact the event manger if they have any issues, such as noise disruption. <br /><br />• A member of the Mill Hill Neighbourhood Forum shall be present at all times the town square is being used for the purpose of this premises licence. As such, anybody in this supervisory capacity will have been DBS checked and will be fully briefed on his/her responsibilities to promote the four licensing objectives.</i><br />
<i><br /><br />• There will be no external promoters solely running events using this premises licence <br /><br />• Barnet Police Licensing team will be notified by email of any event to be held in conjunction with this licence where alcohol will be sold at least 5 clear working days prior to it taking place. • Activities involving live or amplified music between 2000 hours and 2300 hours will take place no more than once per calendar month (This has been requested to protect the residents nearby from regular noise disturbance) <br /><br />• The DPS of this licence must ensure they complete a written authority for those selling alcohol where they do not hold their own personal licence. A copy of this must be kept in the event log book. <br /><br />• The person in charge of the event must maintain a log book at each event which will contain the following; <br /><br /> 1 - The full premises licence (or certified photocopy) 2 - Details of all the stewards working that event including their contact details 3 - An itinerary of the event with times and names of persons participating where applicable 4 - Any incidents reported to the event manager <br /><br />A full copy of the agreement can be seen attached to this report in Annex 2. <br /><br />4. Representations <br /><br />The Licensing Team have received 14 valid representations from members of the public and one from the Mill Hill Ward Panel (containing the details of 10 members). These representations relate to the licensing objectives of the prevention of crime & disorder, the protection of children from harm and prevention of public nuisance. <br /><br />Responsible Authorities <br /><br />The Licensing Team have not received any representations from any of the responsible authorities. <br /><br />The representations can be seen attached to this report in Annex 3. <br /><br />5. Attaching conditions <br /><br />The operating schedule, which is part of the application, includes certain additional steps that the applicant will take to protect the licensing objectives. These will become enforceable conditions, should the licence be granted. Additional conditions may be attached to the licence if the committee thinks it appropriate. <br /><br />The Committee must have regard to all of the representations made and the evidence it hears, and is asked to note that it may not attach conditions or reject the whole or part of the application merely because it considers it desirable to do so. It must actually be appropriate in order to promote the licensing objectives. <br /><br />In relation to conditions, the statutory guidance at chapter 10.8 states that “The licensing authority may not impose any conditions unless its discretion has been engaged following receipt of relevant representations and it is satisfied as a result of a hearing (unless all parties agree a hearing is not necessary) that it is appropriate to impose conditions to promote one or more of the four licensing objectives. </i><br />
<i>Full Copies of the Councils Statement of Licensing Policy, the Statutory Guidance to the Act and the Council’s Guide to Good Practice at Licensed Premises will be available at the Licensing Sub Committee hearing or in advance if required. </i><br />

After a six week trial we have learned a great deal about which days work best for a weekly market in Mill Hill town centre and have received valuable feedback from residents about the types of stalls they would like to see in a regular market. The market aims to return if possible after a rethink and further discussions with interested stall holders who are unable to commit until later in the year. We would like to thank the local community for their support.</span><b></b><i></i><u></u><sub></sub><sup></sup><strike></strike><br />

<b>European Elections</b><br />
<b></b><br />
This Thursday we have elections for the European Parliament elections. This may well be your last opportunity to send the Government a message. We strongly urge all voters in Mill Hill to vote and to cast your vote for parties with a clearly defined position. If you support the remain position, this is clearly the Liberal Democrats.Rog Thttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08139705078907584931noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5342655646954582491.post-36101527023181245172019-04-28T09:14:00.004-07:002019-04-28T09:14:54.302-07:00Mill Hill Focus #55 - Weekly news round up & Local Sports summaryWe hope all of our readers survived the storm last night and there was not too much damage to your gardens!<br />

This is not because it isn't well loved or well used, it is because the council has decided to rebuild the site without a diving pool, which threatens to end up to 50 different activities on the Copthall site. Please click through and sign this petition. I know all about the great work they do. My daughter was a member of the diving club and I saw the great work that the coaches and staff do. We need such facilities, it keeps our young people happy and healthy.</span><br />

I remember watching filming of 'Man Without a Past' in our road in 78 (age 11), then walked down to Mill Hill to see Bodie 180 the Capri in Partingdale Lane. I got Ed Bishop's autograph and asked Bodie if his Gun was real, he put it to my head and said "what do you think?" 😀 <a href="https://t.co/IsVwjhowk8">pic.twitter.com/IsVwjhowk8</a></div>

We spoke to Richard again today. Have a look at his site and then read on! He wants some feedback from people in Mill Hill. <br />

Richard told the team "The response has been quiet phenominal. I really didn't expect too much interest, but the emails I've sent have been really positive. I had expected a couple of hits a day, but thanks to kind people mentioning the site on social media, we've been seeing hundreds every day. Not surprisingly the home page is the most popular. I was surprised that the next most popular is the local history, then the business/services directory. I thought the eating out directory would be most popular, but I guess most Mill Hillians already know the restaurants in the town centre. I'm not really a social media person, so I was pleasantly surprised. I have had a couple of enquiries from people wanting to advertise but this is not really what I'm trying to do. I just want a handy web page which has all the info on it, without lots of personal opinions or views. Apart from the cost of the website registration, I just do it in my spare time when I'm bored, so I feel it would be a bit cheeky to take peoples money. I only look at the mails etc once or twice a week, when I am sitting down to do something on the site. I'd like more on the local history and a photo gallery, but that is to come in the future. Please drop me an email if you have any feedback or want something listed. Sorry if it takes a while to get back to you or add in your changes".<br />
<br />
So if you have a suggestion for Richard, please let him know (but don't expect a speedy response).<br />

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: x-large;">By Bhavini Kalaria,</span></b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The 29<sup>th</sup> March 2019 has come and gone, and whilst Parliament has rejected the majority of options before it, and the main parties try and come to a resolution which can garner enough support to get through Parliament we await (presently) further confirmation on whether the UK will have another longer extension to Article 50, the mechanism by which the UK was to depart the European Union.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The end game for Brexit remains unclear. The possible scenarios lie anywhere between a “no-deal” Brexit through to some kind of Norway-style deal where the UK will be a part of the European Economic Area. In all cases, businesses trading with the EU, or employing staff from any of the EU 27 countries, in receipt of EU funding will want to take some immediate practical steps to be ready for Brexit (deal or no deal). <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="background: white;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">If the UK was to have a transition period as envisaged under the Withdrawal Agreement, then largely the compliance culture will remain the same. During the transition, the UK would be out of the EU, but not represented on EU bodies and would have the same obligations as another EU member. It means remaining within the single market (that is allowing freedom of movement of goods, people, capital and services), customs union (applying the same tariffs). No deal means leaving without an implementation period, and no agreement across a myriad of different areas and sectors – including trade, immigration, borders, and the European Court of Justice.<br /><br /><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif;">(iii)<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 7pt; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;"> </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">contact any organisation that moves goods to ensure that all safety and security declarations can be made<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;"><b>Step 2: Check your contracts where you are trading or doing business with businesses or individuals based in the EU.</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Where the UK doesn’t negotiate an alignment of regulatory and health & safety standards, then your goods or services will not have the same recognition and status as they do currently. Additional regulatory steps can add costs and may make what is now a legal transfer of goods or services, into an illegal one. In this situation, any commercial agreement may become economically unviable or illegal.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">As a business you should look at your contracts to see whether there are any provisions which will help you to terminate the contract and re-negotiate should your business need to. You should consider whether there are any express provisions dealing with Brexit and what scenarios this covers, and if not whether your force majeure, frustration or material change clauses can be relied on. You may want to consider whether the ability to bring the contract to an end exists too.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The likelihood that a contract can be brought to an end because it is uneconomic is limited and generally will not be a good enough reason to trigger a material advance change clause.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">You should consider taking legal advice on your contract if you believe that there is a risk that your current contractual arrangements will be affected.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Step 3: Check your responsibilities as an employer of EU staff members<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">One of the key issues for the Brexit Referendum was immigration – and it is highly likely that the freedom of workers to move and stay here without applying for a visa will end. The UK has reached agreements with Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Switzerland. Outside of this we will need to await final details.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The Home Office has issued guidance to EU Citizens to apply for a visa under the EU Settlement Scheme. You will need to check whether your staff members have the right to stay and work in the UK after the Brexit deadline expires. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">If you are an employer you will need to consider whether you need to apply for a sponsorship licence to enable you to employ members of staff from the EU, and There is no guarantee that your business will be eligible to apply for a sponsorship licence and so taking early guidance and Brexit proofing your business now will be key.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Step 4: Check whether your regulator can provide licences and certificates which will be recognised by the EU<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">It is not clear at this stage whether UK </span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">regulatory agencies will be able to provide licenses and certificates that will be recognised by the EU for goods and services that are exported to the EU. It all depends on whether reciprocal recognitions stays or goes.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">In any event if your business holds licences to trade or work in the EU – you should look at the licencing requirements now and contact your relevant regulator so you can get the most up to date guidance you are able to.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<b><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Step 5: Check the impact on your group structure if you have an office in any of the EU27 country<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Many companies benefitted from the recognition afforded to them under the existing regime to be able to set up and operate in any of the EU27 countries. Freedom of establishment is something which will be affected without any express agreement and if your business operates an office outside of the UK you will need to consider your existing structure to see whether you will need to either get additional licences, re-incorporate or re-establish back in the UK. This is especially relevant if you have members of staff and need to look at sponsoring them.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">There are a myriad other issues which arise out of multiple locations, and you must seek advice on the where your business is rightly considered to be located and if there are follow on tax implications. There will also be an impact on current litigation, and the ease with which debt can be recovered.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 8.4pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: #442b52; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">The key issue is that without some sort of reciprocal treatment the future effectiveness of your group structure must be looked at and you should take immediate advice on the impact of Brexit before the Brexit deadline.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; margin: 0cm 0cm 8.4pt; text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="color: #442b52; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Step 6: Consider data protection<o:p></o:p></span></b></div>
<div style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="color: #442b52; font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">Even if we leave the EU, where a business is dealing with European Citizens, the data belonging to those citizens will have to be dealt with in compliance with the standards set by the General Data Protection Regulations. By and large, the Data Protection Act 1998 works well, and compliance with this should mean that even as a third party country, the UK will meet the necessary standards required. Nevertheless, if businesses have not considered how they are protecting data – it would be wise to do so now.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 11pt;">There are numerous other areas that businesses will need to consider and specific industries such as food, fishing, pharmaceutical, transport and finance will have specific rules which will apply. All businesses are encourages to start preparing for any Brexit scenario by reviewing their current operations, contracts, people and licences.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Welcome to this weeks news round up. This week we have a short interview with Mill Hill Resident, Richard Wilkinson, who has just launched an excellent new website for Mill Hill residents. Unlike this website and several other local blogs, it does not carry opinions or views. It is, as Richard describes it a "Signpost website".<br />
<br />
Richard is a long term Mill Hill resident, who retired last year. He is an avid walker and photographer of the local flora and fauna. He has put together a site, after being inspired by finding a useful local information site on a visit to Australia a couple of years ago. Like the local litter pickers, Richard is another example of the local people who want to do their bit for our neighourhood.<br />

<br />
Us - Hi Richard, can you tell us why you put the website together<br />
<br />
Richard - I retired late last year and I have some time on my hands. I don't do twitter or facebook but I am an avid browser of the internet, mosty local history, photography and walks. Many towns have websites that pull together all of the local history, transport etc and I thought Mill Hill could use one. A couple of years ago we stayed in St Kilda's in Melbourne and they had a great website that made it easy to find out where to go and what to do. I thought it would be nice to have something like that for Mill Hill. I also quite fancied learning how to design websites. It gives me a chance to put some of the pictures I take of Mill Hill to good use (Ed Note: Richard has been sending us his pictures for a year to use on our website, so you may have seen one or two before). I will eventually have a gallery for them. <br />
<br />
Us - What have you put on the site?<br />
<br />
Richard - There are three main sections at the moment. There is a How to Get to Mill Hill section. This has details of the local train and bus services. I thought this would be useful for people visiting Mill Hill or staying with family, who want to get out and about. There is a restaurant guide. I considered doing reviews, but decided that a link to Trip advisor would be better and more objective, so you can see the list and if one grabs you, then you can get the Trip Advisor review with a click. No point re-inenting the wheel. Again for people new to town, I think this will be useful. Then there is the local history and services. Originally, this was just going to be the services and churches etc, but I found some great sites of local pictures, and thought I'd add that as well. I am going to add a local businesses page as well soon. This will just be local tradesmen etc.<br />
<br />
Us - How did you get into website design?<br />
<br />
Richard - I thought that a signposting site would be useful for Mill Hill, I had time on my hands, and thought a course in web design would be interesting. The site was a good project to put what I learned to a practical use. I wanted to simply put together something that I would use if I was a visitor to the area, or had just moved in.<a href="https://www.u3a.org.uk/" target="_blank"> The U3A have all sorts resources that helped me get up to speed</a>. <br />
<br />
(Ed note: IT courses can be found on the London directory <a href="https://www.u3alondon.org.uk/?page_id=3027">https://www.u3alondon.org.uk/?page_id=3027</a> )<br />
<br />
Us - Have you got involved with the Mill Hill Preservation Society or the Neighbourhood forum, as you seem a pretty community minded guy?<br />
<br />
Richard - No, the Preservation Society is mainly concerned with conservation of the Green belt, which is important, but doesn't really interest me particularly. There is some interesting info on their website, especially the historical info and walks. As for the Neighbourhood forum. I went to a public meeting a year or two ago, it wasn't my cup of tea. I am not really a "committee person". I'm not criticising anyone, I just wanted to do something practical and deliverable without having to sit around in meetings and committees for years.<br />
<br />
Us - How do people get in touch about the site?<br />
<br />
Richard - If people see something that is clearly wrong or could be better there is a contact form. I don't really want to get into discussions or form a committee to improve it. It's just a bit of fun. If someone finds a new picture website or something like that, they can let me know.<br />
<br />
Us - Anything else to say to Mill Hill?<br />
<br />
Richard - Yes, if like me you are recently retired and widowed, checkout U3A. It's good to have something to do. I've been working on the site for about six months in my spare time, working out how to put it together. I think it will take another year to get it how I want it. I do a couple of hours a week work on it.<br />
<br />
We wish Richard well with his efforts.<br />

The team have also been working with Hale Councillor Laithe Jajeh to try and get a clean up of Scratchwoods. We showed the problems to Laithe a few weeks ago and he is doing his best to get the Council to come up and clean up the mess. It is important to work across the community to resolve such problems. We will report back when the problem is cleared.<br />

<i>Donna and I took part in yesterday’s March for a People’s
Vote. We’ve always enjoyed the anti Brexit marches but this one was
special from the outset. As soon as we got on the tube at Finchley
Central we found out most of our fellow passengers were going on the
March and were delighted to discover Donna was carrying a big roll of
Bollocks to Brexit stickers! Lots of good humour marked the start of the
day and this was to continue right the way through.</i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i>We
were expecting a huge turnout but we weren’t prepared for the sheer sea
of humanity that greeted us when we got to the Dorchester Hotel to meet
with our fellow Liberal Democrats. </i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i>We
must have waited at the Dorchester for two and a half hours before we
finally got underway. As we turned into Piccadilly the crowd stretched
far ahead of us and we weren’t any way near the actual front of the
March. We met with fellow Lib Dem Sachin Patel and his partner and
marched the whole way through to Parliament Square. We didn’t reach
Parliament Square until after 5pm. Police have estimated the numbers
marching to be between 1.5 to 2 million. It was certainly the biggest
March I’ve ever been at.</i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i>On
our way home the tube was packed with fellow marchers, still waving and
smiling at each other. This morning listening to the BBC you would
never know the whole thing happened.</i></div>

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Dangerous pavements. </span></b><br />
<br />
We are concerned about the poor state of many pavements in Mill Hill. This one, outside the synagogue is of particular concern, given the elderly and disabled people that regularly visit. We believe these bodged jobs are simply not good enough.<br />

This is our 50th edition of the Mill Hill Focus newsletter. We hope that you are enjoying it. Our newsletter brings a round up of all the latest local news for Mill Hill. We have a regular round up of local planning schemes of note and other events in the locality.<br />
<br />
Our aim is to promote a better environment for everyone in Mill Hill and to work to bring the communty together. We also love to bring pictures showing the many beautiful landscapes from our neighbourhood. We welcome feedback from all locals.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Pentavia Scheme</span></b><br />
<br />
This week sees a major event that we urge all residents to participate in. The prospective developers of the Pentavia site are holding a public viewing of their plans.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
<div dir="ltr" lang="en">
Meadow Residential invites you to view proposals for an exciting new development planned for the Pentavia Retail Park in Mill Hill on 9th & 12th March. Read below for details:</div>
— Pentavia Homes (@PentaviaHomes) <a href="https://twitter.com/PentaviaHomes/status/1101482086563749888?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">March 1, 2019</a></blockquote>
<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
<br />
We believe that the size and scale of this development is unsuitable for the site. There are many reasons why we believe that this is not the right scheme. <a href="http://abettermillhill.blogspot.com/2019/02/pentavia-update-developers-are-getting.html">We detailed them HERE</a>.<br />

<br />
The biggest problem for local people is that they are caught in the crossfire of a war between Barnet Council's Conservative administration and the Labour Mayor. The Barnet Administration antagonised the Mayor by passing a motion declaring him an enemy of the people. As a result, the London Mayor has used every tool available to beat the local authority and we suspect that Pentavia will be the latest example. We need to move away from playground politics, to a system where all parties work together for the good of local residents and the wider needs of the city. A scheme such as this will benefit nobody as it will potentially cause gridlock on the roads and a blight on the landscape. We believe that it will have a devastating effect on traffic an A1/A41 and flows at Mill Hill Circus. This could affect TFL bus routes 113, 186, 251, 221 and 240. We hope the Mayor takes note of this and the polluting effects of the congestion.<br />

There have been a few things of note going on in Mill Hill this week. <a href="https://abettermillhill.blogspot.com/2019/03/mill-hill-focus-49-mill-hill-news-round.html">We dedicated a special edition to the latest news on Pentavia earlier this week</a>. This week the Barnet Times revealed that<a href="https://www.times-series.co.uk/news/17466390.a-new-study-reveals-the-most-built-on-boroughs-in-london/?ref=fbshr&fbclid=IwAR1RfE4facjjVhS71f9Xsk4uqi6QTadQ_2sJcQ9SF2G72Ng7T1MBb2tdWt4"> The London Borough of Barnet is the 5th most built upon Borough in London</a>. It seems that the idea of our neighbourhood is rapidly becoming nothing more thana memory. This is why we need community. <br />
<br />
Here is the rest of the news<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Barnet Copthall Leisure centre Travel Plan</b></span><br />
<br />
Capita have released the travel plan for the new Copthall Leisure Centre recently. We are disappointed that there is little in the plan to encourage modal shift to walking and cycling. We believe that having a target of 47% of journey by car is a hopelessly outdated target for an urban development. <br />

This week, they have paid for a wrap around on the Barnet Times local paper. The advert makes no mention of the issue which concern many people and have resulted in a huge number of objections.<br />

<br />
The scheme was rejected by Barnet Council due to the size and scale being out of keeping with Mill Hill. <a href="https://publicaccess.barnet.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=neighbourComments&keyVal=P1BG4KJI0CJ00">The application received 686 objections and 4 supporting comments</a>. <a href="https://www.london.gov.uk/what-we-do/planning/planning-applications-and-decisions/public-hearings/pentavia-retail-park-public-hearing">If you want to object, details are on the GLA website</a>.<br />
<br />
Focus team member Roger Tichborne spoke at the Barnet Council planning hearing. Here is the text of his speech to the committee that resulted in the rejection of the scheme by Barnet, which resulted in the Mayor of London taking over the scheme.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have been asked by a group of over 20 independent Mill
Hill Residents, all of whom asked permission to speak tonight, to represent them and put across their
objections. The Barnet Cycling Campaign have also
allowed me to speak on their behalf.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">
It is recognised in the Council report, and all residents are of the opinion that the scheme is not in
keeping with the existing nature of Mill Hill and does not meet the councils planning
brief requirements. The Barnet Cycling Campaign believe that the proposal is
against the planning brief and Mayor’s Transport Stragey. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">
As a business owner, it is clear that the scheme will do
nothing to increase provision of low cost housing for local people on the wages
typical in Milll Hill’s health, social care, industrial and service sectors,
meaning a key aim of the London plan is not fulfilled </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">
The number of households this scheme adds to the area, over
700, in excess of 2,000 residents, will
put severe strain on already overstretched local facilities such as Schools,
medical centres and local green space. Parking in surrounding streets will all
be affected negatively, along with congestion caused by large numbers of residents
having to drive to and from the already overly congested Mill Hill
Circus/Fiveways corner to turn around for access to the site largely during
rush hour. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">
The increased building area and hardstanding will increase
water run-off and therefore worsen drainage issues and surface water problems,
with no proposed mitigation. These are already evidenced by frequently seen large
and dangerous pools of water by Bunns Lane Bridge creating traffic hazards
during times of heavy rainfall.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">
The application gives scant regards to the realities of the
situation regarding local schools. The site will not be in the catchment area
for Mill Hill County High, the nearest co-ed secondary school, which is heavily
oversubscribed. </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: large;">
Of the local buses, the 221, as my son who attended school
in Finchley found, is overloaded during rush hour as is the 113. The stated aim of increasing cycling will not be achieved,
noted by the Barnet cycling campaign who said </span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;">
“that the development in Pentavia Park does not fulfil
either the planning brief or the wider aims of Barnet Council and the Mayor of
London in terms of cycling. In particular, we can see little</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;">
evidence of paragraphs 1.2, 1.3, 5.12 and 6.6 being met;”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;">
They added that no routes from
the site are suitable for disabled riders and that the scheme</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;">
“…is not likely to help the borough achieve any modal
shift towards cycling and might</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;">
indeed send it the other way.”</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;">
It is also likely that residents will be regularly
exposed to extremely poor air quality on entering and leaving the buildings.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
</span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-size: large;">
In summary, we urge the committee to reject this scheme
and send a strong message to the developer that Mill Hill Residents will keep
objecting until such time as they put forward a scheme that is in keeping with
the localilty and works for Mill Hill, not just for their narrow financial
interests. If developers are not prepared to respect the views of residents,
then the council or London mayor should use CPO powers to safeguard residents
interests, as happened with a South London football club site, and build homes
for key workers at an appropriate density.</span></blockquote>

These are all key points you may want to raise in any objections you wish to send to the Mayor.<br />

Welcome to this weeks news letter for Mill Hill.
If you have some news for us, please ping us a message at our Twitter account <a href="https://twitter.com/ABetterMillHill">https://twitter.com/ABetterMillHill</a>.<br />
<br />
It has to be said that Mill Hill has been absoultely glorious this week. Our morning strolls around the parks and open spaces have been a joy to behold. Although we don't as a rule plug local businesses, we have been thoroughly enjoying our smoked salmon and chopped herring bagels in Yummies to round off the walks this week. They seem to be the ideal breakfast treat to round off a brisk walk! <br />
<br />
As ever there is plenty of local news to share.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Feargal Sharkey backs our campaign to keep local streams clean and safe</b></span><br />
<br />
We are delighted that legendary Undertones frontman and Barnet resident Feargal Sharkey has pitched in to support our efforts to keep the streams of Mill Hill safe and clean. Yesterday, we were alarmed to see clear signs of pollution on Folly Brook, which runs parallel to the footpath that links Burtonhole Lane in Mill Hill to Totterridge.<br />
<br />
Yesterday we posted this tweet warning dog walkers of the potential risks from whatever the contamination is. We are working with waterways expert Laurence Bard, who runs the Pond Life waterway maintenance company and is an expert in such matters to get the contaminents identified. Mr Bard has also notified the Environment agency.<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">

*** Dog Walker Hazard Alert ***<br />
We advise all dog walkers to keep dogs out of Folly Brook. It appears to have become contaminated. We are arranging for this to be tested, but in the meantime advise caution. We also advise washing hands after opening gates etc <a href="https://t.co/wl7Li6c9u3">pic.twitter.com/wl7Li6c9u3</a></div>

As well as being a superb musician, Feargal is also passionate about waterways. Having seen our post, he chipped in with some very useful advice. <br />
<br />
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en">
<div dir="ltr" lang="en">
It looks like sewage foam, suspect someone has a miss-connected sewer somewhere which is dumping into the river. Start from that point and walk upstream looking for an outfall or a pipe going into the river. Once located report to the EA, although they’re unlikely to do anything.</div>

<script async="" charset="utf-8" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js"></script>
We went back and had a look but much of the brook is inaccessible and there are very few houses on the route, so were unable to ascertain if this was the cause of the problem. We have been walking the route for over 40 years and have never seen this before so are rather perplexed as to where the contamination could be coming from. Until the source has been identified, we advise that dogs be kept on leads and all hands are thoroughly washed if opening gates etc in the vicinity. The big worry is that this stream feeds Darlands Lake and Dollis Brook etc. As there is a possibility that this is a wash off from the neighbouring NIMR site, we are sure that Barratts, as a responsible developer will be keen to ensure that the source is identified ASAP and look forward to their assistance in tracing the problem.<br />
<br />
We will be keeping you well informed. Please make sure anyone who uses the path is aware.<br />

The area which most residents will be interested in concerns their delivery drivers. Here is what it says<br />
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>Delivery Drivers</i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i>This document sets out the measures that will be put in place to ensure any noise or disturbance from delivery drivers is kept to a minimum at all times. In relation to the numbers of delivery drivers, the precise number cannot be known until the store is operating. However, based on other similar stores there would typically be 2-4 drivers operating during the day (until 6pm) and 6-8 drivers during the busy evening period (between 6pm and 9pm). After this time, the trade would reduce,and the number of drivers would likely revert to 2-4 until closing time. The delivery drivers will only be making short stops and will be out delivering pizzas for most of the time. Therefore, it is very unlikely that there would be more than 2 (or at the very most 3) needing to park near the store at the same time. The delivery drivers would utilise a mixture of mopeds, electric mopeds and cars. There is a rear yard area which can be accessed directly off Goodwyn Avenue. This can be used by the delivery drivers of the proposed hot food takeaway. This area could accommodate a number of mopeds.Only delivery drivers using electric mopeds will usethis rear yard area to ensure there is no noise from the running of engines. The drivers using cars or non-electric mopeds would utilise on-street spaces on The Broadway or Goodwyn Avenue. During the later hours the drivers using non-electric mopeds or cars would always aim to park along The Broadway wherever possible as there would be a high level of existing activity to the front of the store.</i></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><i>In line with the permitted opening hours, the takeaway will be open to customer collections and deliveries between the hours of 11.00 and 23.00 Sunday to Wednesday and between 11.00 and midnight Thursday to Saturday. No hot food deliveries will be made from the unit outside of these hours. The delivery drivers will undertake a training programme, code of conduct training and compulsory basic training to ensure that they are respectful to any neighbours, the customers of the takeaway and other road users. At all times during the store’s opening hours, a manager will be on duty. The manager will be a visible presence within the store, ensuring effective staff management and management of delivery drivers as well as customers. In addition to this, signs will be posted within the store and at the rear of the building to remind delivery drivers of their responsibilities to ensure noise and disturbance is kept to a minimum. Such signs will inform delivery drivers that they must switch off their engines once parked, ensure they do not slam car doors, play music loudly etc. These measures will be further enforced by the store managers</i></span><span style="font-size: large;"><i> </i></span></blockquote>
The team at A Better Mill Hill believe this plan to be hopelessly inadequate to protect the interest of local residents. We are urging all local people to post objections and ask for the following conditions to be applied, to reduce noise, pollution and disturbance.<br />
<br />
<br />
1. All deliveries under 1 mile must be made using biccycle deliveries, as most environmentally responsible delivery services are seeking to do, unless the size of order precludes this.<br />
<br />
2. All deliveries which are of a size, distance or volume too large for a cycle courier, should be delivered by couriers using electric cargo bikes.<br />
<br />
3. If there is a requirement for car or moped deliveries, these vehicles should be electric.<br />
<br />
4. Delivery drivers in cars must not play music at any time when parked or waiting in Mill Hill Broadway. This will be a written into contracts as a breach of terms of emplyment and any driver caught breaking these rules will be dismissed.<br />
<br />
5. All local residents affected by noise will be given a hotline number to senior Dominos Pizza representatives so that any breaches can be reported easily and dealt with immediately.<br />
<br />
We believe that these measures will provide a degree of mitigation of disturbance that would make the operation bearable for local residents.<br />
<br />
There is also major development planned for IBSA house on the Ridgway. If you live around this area, you may want to check this out as it is likely to affect you.<br />

Welcome to our first newsletter of the New Year. Let us start by wishing all of our readers a happy, healthy and propserous New Year. 2019 promises to be a year of change for not only our nation but our local community. There are several large planning applications under consideration that are likely to have a major impact on our community should they be passed.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Pentavia Retail Park Development</span></b><br />
<br />
This is now with the Mayor of London, who has taken over responsibility for the planning decision. You can read why in this letter sent by Mayor Khan to Barnet Council. You will note that Mayor Khan seems to be keen to realise the potential of the scheme to increase social housing in Barnet. As this is not part of the existing scheme, we are mildly confused by this.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Andrew Dismore retires from politics.</span></b><br />
<br />
Our local GLA Representative and former MP for Hendon, Andrew Dismore has announced his retirement from politics. The Team at A Better Mill Hill wish to thank Mr Dismore for his efforts for residents from his election as MP in 1997 to his work for the GLA. Whatever your politics, Mr Dismore has always been recognised as a hard working representative, who was exemplary in his dealing with casework for local people. We wish him well for the future. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.andrewdismore.org.uk/home/2019/01/11/dismore-announces-decision-to-step-down-from-front-line-politics/"><b>Mr Dismore said:</b></a>
<br />
‘I have today notified the London Labour Party that I shall not be
seeking reselection as the Labour candidate for Barnet and Camden in the
2020 London Assembly elections.<br />
‘It has been a privilege to represent Labour over the years, to have
been involved in so many campaigns, and to have been able to help so
many constituents with their concerns and problems.<br />
‘In 2012, winning Barnet and Camden’s London Assembly seat for Labour
for the first time enabled me to expose Boris Johnson’s many
shortcomings, fighting his cuts especially to the fire brigade and
police. Winning for a second time meant I could at last back a Labour
Mayor of London in supporting our services, building new homes, and
taking on the battle over Brexit.<br />
‘However, after almost 40 years in elected politics as a Labour Party
councillor, MP and now Assembly Member, it feels the time is right to
stand down at the May 2020 London elections. My decision is not on
political but personal grounds. After so long a time in front line
politics, I would like to help and encourage someone else to have the
opportunity of representing the people of Barnet and Camden.<br />
‘Needless to say, I will continue to serve the two boroughs for the
remainder of my term of office. I will also do all I can to support
Labour’s new candidate for the 2020 Assembly election to retain the seat
for Labour and to re-elect Sadiq as Mayor.’<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">Fr Eamon Raftery passes away.</span></b><br />
<br />
Members of the local Roman Catholic community are mouring the unexpected passing of Fr Eamon Raftery, Priest at The Church of The Sacred Heart and Mary Immaculate in Mill Hill. Fr Raftery has been a well liked member of the Parish Pastoral team since arriving in 2016. He passed away unexpectedly on Sunday 6th January. His funeral details are to be announced. <a href="http://shmi.info/snotes/20190113_fr_eamon.htm">There is a full obituarty on the Sacred Heart website</a>.<br />
<br />
Fr Eamon was a wise priest and his <a href="https://barneteye.blogspot.com/2018/12/environment-monday-are-we-generation-of.html">writings were recently featured by the Barnet Eye blog</a>, speaking about the environment and our responsibilities. Fr Eamon suggested an answer to the question "Who are our neighbours" which was most thought provoking. <br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<i>"They aren’t just the people living next door that are
in a ‘space’ near us, but who will come after us, who are neighbours
in
‘time’. We should not take more from the earth than that we need. We
must decide not to be thieves of earthly resources - energy,
food, water, trees, paper - using them more than necessary, or
wasting them, because this means taking them away from those coming
after us."</i></blockquote>
Rest in Peace Fr Eamon.<br />

Belmont childrens zoo on the Ridgeway has applied for planning permission to build accomodation for workers at the establishment. This has attracted 13 local objections and one neutral comment. The Mill Hill Preservation Society has objected. We note no comment from The Mill Hill Neighbourhood forum has been made. <a href="https://publicaccess.barnet.gov.uk/online-applications/applicationDetails.do?activeTab=neighbourComments&keyVal=PIAN23JI0FY00&neighbourCommentsPager.page=1">More details on the Barnet Council website</a><br />
