A recording of an online Question Time event held by Barnet Council’s cabinet is available to view by members of the public who could not attend.

250 Barnet residents signed up to attend Barnet Council’s third Barnet Question Time and put questions to Council leader Barry Rawlings and cabinet members.

Questions covered issues ranging from traffic control measures and road safety, through to fixing potholes, library facilities, tackling fly-tipping, children and young people’s mental health support, affordable housing, and skills and work opportunities.
