The tweets of the week in the London Borough of Barnet - 5/7/2020

The pubs and restaurants are open. The Sun is shining. But what have the Tweeters of Barnet been up to?

1. Many thanks to Barnet Rebel for solving this conundrum

Those two lines merging into one between 'barnet' and the trees represents the M1 that begins/or ends in the borough. The trees represent the greeness of Barnet. Told to me by a former Barnet CEO.@Barneteye @logueys @MHHistSoc pic.twitter.com/7H9CIjtvuz

2. Dramatic scenes in Edgware. Funny how many 'derelict buildings in the Borough get burned to the ground"

Crews were faced with a well developed fire at a disused golf club in #Edgware A derelict clubhouse and the driving range were destroyed by the blaze #thisweek https://t.co/5KDlea6ucS pic.twitter.com/OIPnxM43TP

7. We are keeping an eye on progress at the new Brent Cross West station, courtesy of some fine local tweeters

Space is reserved for future 8-car platforms on the Dudding Hill Line at the station.

LB Barnet want to extend 'West London Orbital' beyond Hendon to terminus track near RAF Museum;
other trains could use Silkstream flyover to reach Mill Hill Broadway MML slow lines. pic.twitter.com/OsakTlaWDX

10. My personal favourite tweet of the week

Massive thank you to @MillHillMusicCo for letting these two feel normal again for the afternoon and dance in their favourite studio. They’ve missed their in-person lessons so much and we can’t wait to be back here with @erna_jumpup soon #Frozen2 pic.twitter.com/b7iHRY3YoU
