My son has been doing a boxing class at Mill Hill Sports club in Grahame Park Way. The site also hosts cricket, Hockey, Football and Squash as well as the Mill Hill Music Festival. The management have informed members that the club will close in September. It looks as though more sports facilities for young people are being lost. The letter sent to members implies that Barnet Council may have put the club owners in an untenable position and forced the sale. I spoke to my sons boxing teacher last night who confirmed that the boxing class at the centre has no finished as a result of the sale.
The Barnet Eye will be sending FOI requests to Barnet Council later today try and ascertain the role of the Council. We will also be emailing local ward councillors for information. We will report back when we have more information. What is 100% clear is that young people are yet again being failed.

hi could you call the Times Series on 020 8359 5901 as soon as possible? We would like to run a story on this matter. Thanks!
.... i s'pose the big questions what will replace this public facility another school perhaps, or will News International be closing Wapping and moving to the suburbs...
Perhaps the Times Series could also find out why Barnet is actively supporting building over the playing fields at the Peel Centre - the Met want to sell the land for flats.
