On Monday 22nd October at 6pm, the world premiere
of a new film, Barnet - The Billion Pound Gamble will be shown at the
iconic Phoenix Cinema in East Finchley. The film has been made by acclaimed US
film director Charles Honderick and exposes the chaos being wrought by the
policies of Barnet Council.
Local residents are interviewed and explain just
how difficult life has become. A family with a child suffering severe
disability tells how no appropriate accomodation has been provided for eleven
years. Users of day centres explain how cuts to transport have affected them and
how they get charged £1.20 for a cup of nescafe. Local traders tell the tale of
how the parking policies have forced them to the brink. Award winning film
director Ken Loach explains how outsourcing destroys local economies. A host of
experts explain how the One Barnet programme is doomed to failure, it is a
Billion Pound Gamble, where private companies will pick up fat cheques, local
residents will get shoddy services and local taxpayers will be left to pick up
the bill.
The film also features shocking scenes filmed
inside the Town Hall as uncaring local councillors dismiss the concerns of
residents and laugh as important decisions, which will cause misery for
thousands, are passed without proper debate.
The official trailer for the film has been released
today and can be viewed on the film website - http://www.billionpoundgamble.co.uk
