The Post welcomes voluntary contributions. We believe that local people are the best placed to tell their own stories. And, as a small team, we rely on your submissions. If you live and work in Barnet please do pitch a story to us.
We will discuss your article idea with you before confirming if it is something we’d like to include.
Please read the submission guidelines below before emailing us at [email protected].
