Lets start by casting our minds back five years to 2016. What were the tweeters of Barnet getting concerned about? Have a look, it is quite interesting - http://barneteye.blogspot.com/2016/09/the-tweets-of-week-in-london-borough-of_25.html
So enough of that fun. On to September 2021.
1. Five years later, and the Railway Hotel in Edgware is still in a terrible state of disrepair. Sadly five years of inaction from Barnet Council and a total lack of interest by the local Edgware Councillors has seen it in an even worse state.
Grade II listed Railway Hotel Edgware is at risk & needs urgent action one week on from another fire. Site visit & photos 17.9.21. Broken windows, flytipping & holes in roof. @BarnetCouncil Can Urgent Works Notice / Untidy Sites Notice (S215 of Planning Act 1990) be issued? #CPO pic.twitter.com/c3BFW0ol6M

2. On a more positive note, Boost Barnet are still around doing great work!

One of our BOOSTers has started as a volunteer at the British Heart Foundation. Another BOOSTer started on Monday as a part time cleaner in one of Barnet's schools.

3. And the Golders Green Police are still fighting the good fight!

5. Funny to think that back in 2016, the National Instititue for Medical Research was still standing, a well known landmark with it's green roof. Now the area is better known for the lack of enforcement by Barnet Council on the local developers, leading to dangerous road conditions
Today at 14.20, yet again @Barrattplc have not washed lorry wheels and the Ridgeway is caked in mud. When will @barnetcouncil and @CouncillorsMill take action? pic.twitter.com/Kg760ZGpVm

8. It was great seeing this amazing machine over Hendon earlier this week
Just made it home in time to enjoy the sight of a #Spitfire executing a fly-past over the #RAF Museum in Hendon to commemorate #BattleofBritainDay. What a fantastic sight! pic.twitter.com/kEISgWpT0D

9. RIP Jimmy Greaves - A legend
RIP Jimmy Greaves, England's, Tottenham's and Barnet's greatest. Quicksilver finisher (ruthless but with panache), bringer of TV bonhomie, and entertaining and enlightening in his books whether "Funny Old Game" or "The Heart Of The Game". Do him proud today, Spurs, as he did you. pic.twitter.com/zZK5LFx2V9

10. Great to see live music back at one of our favourite local grassroots music venues. Even better to report a full house
