'We have come together to use our collective voice to make the case for fairer funding' Leader Peray Ahmet & Barnet Leader Barry John Rawlings have written to Chancellor Rachel Reeves & Angela Rayner urging the Government to address funding shortfalls. bit.ly/4jKEz1W

It has been great working with Peray Ahmet and Haringey council in a common cause to benefit residents of both boroughs.

A legacy of 14 years of Conservative misrule is Barnet receives 20 per cent per person less than the England average in national funding. Barnet is working with neighbouring borough Haringey to engage the Government on how to make funding fairer. haringey.gov.uk/news/20250610/…

Julia Brown, chief executive of the Brandon Centre, speaks eloquently about councils needing more powers to deal with the adult gambling centres proliferating across the country. #barnetfullcouncil

Cllr Emma Whysall moves the motion for Barnet Council to back the campaign to empower councils to tackle the proliferation of gambling establishments #barnetfullcouncil #barnetlabour

Antisemitism is racism. No ifs or buts.

12.7% fall in violent crime with injury in Barnet. Thanks to the police and Sadiq.

We are appalled by today's attack at a synagogue in Manchester and extend our fullest solidarity to the victims, to their families and to the Jewish community. The horror of antisemitism must be rooted out in all its forms, wherever it rears its ugly head.
