The Thursday Local News Roundup - 10/10/2019

Every Thursday, the Barnet Eye takes a look at the local news stories that have caught our eye. Here's our pick.

Huge Mill Hill Flytip in the news

If you caught ITV London news last night, then you'd have seen the appalling story of the UK's largest flytip at the back of Pentavia retail park. This is a huge, rotting, fly and rat infested pile of rubbish, some of which contains asbestos and other dangerous items. The land is owned by TFL and the Highways agency. We believe that they should make every effort to identify the source and prosecute anyone who uses illegal flytippers. That is the only way to stop this

One of our members being interviewed on national television last night, talking about the mega dump in Mill Hill #millhillflytip

Hadley FC out of the FA cup

A great run in the FA Cup came to an end for Hadley FC on Saturday. They lost 3-0 away at Havant  and Waterlooville, a team several rungs higher in the league structure. The team had amazing support from the travelling fans. If you missed out on the fun, why not join us on the terraces on Saturday!

The @HadleyFC supporters @HadleyBricks making most of the noise so far here today. About 60-70 supporters have come down to the South Coast to support their team today pic.twitter.com/YL5JetUa5G

Marsh Drive residents update

The residents of Marsh Drive, the last block standing on the West Hendon estate are suffering appalling conditions as the building has been allowed to deteriorate. Whilst most reasonable people would be appalled, the leader of Barnet Council, Daniel Thomas has told them that this is all perfectly satisfactory. We disagree.

Marsh Drive is the only block still standing on the West Hendon Estate and it’s been allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. We are forced to live with rodents and pests - cockroaches have bitten our children and invaded kitchens making them unusable pic.twitter.com/OLYzjcJMZy
