Barnet Council is consulting on introducing a 20-mph zone and other road safety measures around North Finchley between the High Road, Woodhouse Road and Friern Barnet lane. This is to be welcomed as the area is currently used as a rat run by many motorists and is used by many families and children walking to the numerous local schools in the area. It will also make the area safer for cycling, help to improve air quality, and reduce the number of accidents in the area. We are encouraging as many people as possible to complete the questionnaire that the council has produced seeking views on the proposals, which can be found on the Engage Barnet website, along with more information about the scheme:
