The Tweets of the Week in the London Borough of Barnet - 13/10/2019

So what has been happening in the London Borough of Barnet, through the eyes of our local tweeters?


1. Tha saga of the long, slow death of the Railway Hotel in Edgware takes another sad turn. This is a story we've been following for rather too long. In what sort of world is this fine building left to rot.

2. One of the less visited parts of the Borough, Graham Park Parade looks set for new found fame!

The best chip shop & Chinese take away in the borough of Barnet, New Ocean Bar, at: 1 The Concourse, Grahame Park, NW9 is being used to film an advert today! Only plaice in the borough to get chips for £1.30; whereas most chippies are charging £1.80! @BarnetCouncil @Barneteye pic.twitter.com/3xbCUsZnpH

3. Hats off to the hard work of Mark Warren of the Mill Hill litter pickers for getting this story into the news and getting some action. An absolute storm of argument has since followed following an attempt by Hendon Conservative MP Matthew Offord to take all of the credit. Many local residents were very disappointed that Mr Offord neglected to mention the efforts of Mark Warren and let their feelings be known on both Twitter and Facebook.
