The Tweets of The Week in the London Borough of Barnet - 11/02/2018

It's Sunday so it's the time for the Tweets of the Week


1. A recurring theme. The neglect of a grade II Listed building that is much loved by the Edgware community

3 weeks after I notified @HistoricEngland & @BarnetCouncil about this 1st floor window being left open, & still nothing has been done. Can you imagine the damage from cold, wet and pigeons? #RailwayHotelEdgware - Grade2 listed building. @Barneteye @BrokenBarnet @ReasonableNB pic.twitter.com/0iyreY2pro

2. And whilst we are in Edgware with Superfast72

The abandonment of #Edgware by @BarnetCouncil continues. It's getting filthier and filthier by the year. I'm surpised shops chains aren't suffering. Not a nice place to visit these days unfortunately. pic.twitter.com/9jQIfBjSL1

6. Thanks to Twitter I now know that we have the worlds biggest bingo club in Cricklewood!

7. And I also found out that Finchley Lido was a venue for the 1948 Olympics. Sadly the Borough had none for the 2012 version
