It's Sunday so here's our selection of the weeks finest Tweets in the London Borough of Barnet.

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


1. Ever wondered what the site of Brent Cross shopping centre looked like in 1928

Brent Cross in 1928..the shopping centre now sits to the right of the sewerage farm, & the car park is where the Johnson's Photographic factory is. Note also the wibbly- wobbly River Brent, before it was put in a concrete conduit.

2. This is worthy of note. I think we all owe Jeff (and his colleagues) a note of thanks for their efforts and bravery keeping us safe over the years

3. I'm sure that all of the readers of this blog are none too keen on sex offenders and would love to see this scumbag locked up. If you see him, please call 999

4. Good to see Cricklewood residents care about their community

Someone sprayed graffiti on our Cricklewood signs under the bridge. Thanks to everyone who came along, we cleaned off not just the graffiti but the rust spots and dirt that come from being under the bridge. Bit of elbow grease and they’re good as new.

5. There is a traffic survey in Mill Hill. Over a bank holiday?

There is a traffic survey being conducted on Bunns Lane, presumably as part of the Pentavia development planning application. Interesting that the camera is placed under Bunns Bridge before the junction with Flower Lane, which is the quietest section pic.twitter.com/c09Pc8L8EU
