The Tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 26/08/2018

It's Sunday, it's a bank holiday weekend, so it's raining. What better way to spend it than reading the Tweets of the Week! We have a few crackers and a few conundrums!

Don't forget to follow any tweeters who tickle you fancy

1. We start with a conundrum. Great to see the Police conducting crime prevention exercises in Burnt Oak, but why are Barnet Council not participating, when Brent are? Especially as the station is in Barnet?

Officers on patrol today at Burnt Oak Station alongside Brent Council, @LondonFire, @MPSBrent and @MPSBarnet to tackle antisocial behaviour in the station and the local area. Pop in and say hi 👋 #optungsten pic.twitter.com/GTb5HMxiqH

2. Many locals will doubtless be saddened to see the sorry fate of The Saprrowhawk pub. For many years a great venue for live music and weddings. Thanks to the Mill Hill Historical Society for the story of how it was named

3. This is a story we've covered. It seems to me like the whole thing is being blown out of all proportion. I would suggest that the schook would be sensible to simply forget about it and move on.

6. Another great tweet from Samuel Levy, our local wildlife tweet of the week. I often pass Samuel on my walks with the mutts in the Totteridge valley. Should really say hello!

Today I finally reached 100 species for the year in the Totteridge Valley. It was quite unexpected! Enjoy! #londonbirds #rbnLNDhttps://t.co/ykhigpUyUp pic.twitter.com/i0AJ64YY5w
