The Tweets of The week in The London Borough of Barnet - 13/01/2019

Every Sunday we put together our selection of the best tweets in the London Borough of Barnet. Here is this weeks selection. I must say that this is one of the best selections we've had for many a moon! Don't forget to follow any tweeters who tickle your fancy!

1. This is my favourite tweet this week. It's official Burnt Oak is "not that bad"! It must be true, the Sun says so!

Even The Scum did a piece on us (Burnt Oak is next to Colindale) and although they're clearly trying to fins problems with so many Romanians, every paragraph seems to end with 'actually, it's not that bad'https://t.co/0NNLNJzlrj

4. Whilst there are many differing views as to whether Cannabis should be legal, if you live next door to a cannabis factory, you are very likely to be at risk. This tweet from the Colindale Police tells you what to look out for and what to do. I think this is probably one of the best uses of Twitter by a public body that I've seen. Well done guys

What to do If you suspect?
If there is a property on your street you suspect of being a cannabis factory you can contact us via 101 or go online to https://t.co/WLyxwLFogd and contact your local team or you contact crimestoppers anonymously. #communitymatters #communitypolicing pic.twitter.com/OTWSgNbdMn

5. If you are interested in local wildlife and our environment, this is a very interesting tweet with a link to a great blog

New blog post up about the first 12 days of the month! Featuring visits to RSPB Rainham Marshes, RSPB Arne, Totteridge Valley and Poole and Baiter Parks. Enjoy. https://t.co/0nfT0A1XQk #londonbirds #dorsetbirds pic.twitter.com/aryUp8qlC5

6. This weeks historical Tweet of the Week! I didn't know there used to be a vineyard in Finchley

Finchley Central looking over what was Claigmar Vineyard off Squires Lane/Long Lane. There's a train by the bridge and I think there was a goods/wagon yard where Finchley Central station car park is now. The now demolished Railway Hotel was opposite the station on Ballards Lane. pic.twitter.com/9yqweAv8xS

7. I rather hope one day Mark Amies receives a peerage for his work trying to protect and document our local heritage. I am pleased that he simply doesn't give up when he sees something is wrong

I took these photos of the Grade II listed #railwayhoteledgware this morning. Yesterday I was assured by @HistoricEngland that @BarnetCouncil Conservation Officer had told them the roof was being secured. That is clearly nonsense. I was also told the last visit to site was 2017. pic.twitter.com/ZOkaVOK9li
