The Tweets of the Week in The London Borough of Barnet - 20/12/2019

It's that time of the week again for us to view the our corner of paradise through the eyes of our local tweeters.

Don't forget to follow any that tickle your fancy.

1. We start with a tweet that exemplifies British humour when faced with things that really are rather poor

Thanks Raymond Fraser - New public toilets on Daws Lane. Finally the council have listened.@ABetterMillHill @Barneteye @MPSMillHill @BarnetCouncil @TheNW7Hub pic.twitter.com/EoBy9XmKNL

2. Once again pub champion Mark Amies, a regular feature on BBC London Radio talking about London history has been putting in a shift for the campaign to sort out the sorry tale of The Railway Hotel in Edgware

Right. But I am going to say this, and leave it there, but the owner/leaseholder has clearly been breaching planning for some time now (see below), so why hasn't Barnet done more, earlier? They clearly have no respect for the law. pic.twitter.com/RnlPkGHBFB
