| "The Balloon Seller at Mill Hill" by John Robert Reid RBA in 1898. |
The Focus team of Donna Pickup, Richard Logue and Roger Tichborne are all local residents, involved with the community and local schools. If you want to stay in touch with us and know what we are doing.
We hope you didn't miss us too much last week. We were all rather tied up in organising the festivities in Mill Hill Broadway (More of that later) and the World cup to put together a newsletter. Today we have a bumper issue to make up for it.
Planning Update
We keep an eye on all new planning applications submitted to Barnet Council. Here are details of a few that have generated local interest submitted since 1st June.
The team would like to see feedback as to whether resident think that a cafe is an appropriate
addition to a cemetery site.
This plan seems to suggest that a living space is constructed in the rear garden of
no 1B Millway. The building has toilet facilities.
number of comments of support, although interestingly most are from people who
don't live near the development. We would suggest that all local residents be aware
of the proposal
Great local Dog walks
Finchley Vets have put together a list of great places for a dog walk in the locality. They are also great places to go for a walk without a dog! We are pleased to see Arrendene Open Space in Mill Hill featured. Here's what they say!
"Now this area is a hidden gem... Across the road from Mill Hill Park you will find Arrandene Open Space. We admit, not the catchiest name around, but what a beautiful walk. Your dog will love the open spaces with tall grass and the woodlands either side of the many paths. You will also enjoy the views when you reach the peaks. There are so many different routes to take around this area, so you may need a few visits to find them all. Keep an eye out for trees with Jumpers, we’re not sure who is responsible for this act of kindness but several of the trees have jumpers knitted around them, we have found four so far. How many will you find?" Click here for the whole article
Burnt Oak Listed as Londons worst High Street by the FT
As good neighbours, we were disturbed to see the Financial Times naming and shaming Burnt Oak as the worst High St in London.
The loss of its shops has sent Burnt Oak into a negative spiral, as its residents travel further afield to work and to spend their money. on.ft.com/2KuSf5g #FTRetail
Long term residents will remember when Burnt Oak had a department store, a cinema, a thriving market and a great Chinese restaurant. It is a sad indictment on Barnet Council and the local councillors that such a thriving high street has been allowed to rot. We must not let the same happen to Mill Hill. This means keeping up pressure on the council and our local councillor to work for our community.
Scratchwoods park is starting to resemble a council dump. This video we took earlier shows the extent of the mess.
This is unacceptable at a local park. We highlighted this to @BarnetCouncil last week. Hale Ward councillors @Laithe_Jajeh @elliot_simberg please sort out this mess at Scratchwoods pic.twitter.com/HBj6q8WMVT— A Better Mill Hill (@ABetterMillHill) July 8, 2018
An amazing weekend – The Mill Hill Summer Music Festival
There was an amazing summer festival in Mill Hill last weekend. Put together by Mill Hill Music Complex, Vibe Market and The Mill Hill Neighbourhood forum and supported by a stack of great local musicians.
