The Tweets of The Week in The London Borough of Barnet - 1 May 2016

We didn't have a tweets of the week last week because to be honest, I didn't find any that were interesting enough to justify a blog! This week is a totally different matter. It seems that Barnet has suddenly become more exciting than the Wild West, Paris and

4. Our local Conservative GLA candidate Dan Thomas is most excited that first time buyers are "roaring back to West Hendon and Dollis Valley" - interestingly the picture that accompanies the tweet shows a house for sale in Dan's native homeland of Wales?
