To mark the 20th anniversary of the 7 July terror attacks on London, we will be holding a minute’s silence at Full Council in remembrance of the 52 lives lost, the hundreds injured and all those survivors whose lives were changed that day.

Thirteen volunteers cleared 220 metres of invasive plant species from the Silk Stream in just one of over 20 environment-enhancing events taking place during Barnet Climate Action Month (BCAM).

They also collected around 12 bags of litter from the river, as well as removing a bike, trolley, strimmer and a large piece of wire mesh.

Violence against women and girls is not just a woman's problem. We're asking everyone to challenge harmful behaviours against women, and learn how to safely intervene.
