Thursday is the day that we round up the local news. Here is our pick of the local stories.

Barnet Council

Barnet Council think you are throwing too many spuds away and are here to help.  As is our tradition, we are offering a free pot noodle for the best recipe for cooking potatoes. We have a wicked recipe for Patatas Bravas when we have friends around for a Tapas evening!

1 in 4 potatoes in the UK is thrown away (WRAP 2020). To help reduce potato waste at home, we’re hosting special #SaveYourSpuds events and workshops in north London. Find out more at: https://t.co/G7IEoHsDJS@KeepBritainTidy #Barnet #FoodWaste pic.twitter.com/1Y5uZt467E
