The Tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 02/06/2019

Welcome to our weekly roundup of the finest tweets in the London Borough of Barnet. There are some crackers this week. In this feature we feature the best of this part of our local social media scene. As ever we advise our readers to follow any of our tweeters who tickle your fancy, don't forget that you can also block those who don't!


1. If you follow the many and varied Twitter feeds of Mill Hill, you may have drawn the conclusion that there are some rather odd people, who spend too much time obsessing on Twitter. There are however some really great people doing really good stuff and at the front of the queue are the Mill Hill Litter pickers

Let’s say hello to all our new Mill Hill Litter Pickers, it’s great when the community comes together for such a worthwhile cause, it’s wonderful to see so many first time pickers and so many bags filled, look forward to seeing even more of you next month! #millhill pic.twitter.com/btqX47m7H3
