Barnet Council is sharing practical steps we can all take to breathe cleaner air and lead healthier lives ahead of this year’s Clean Air Day, the UK’s largest air pollution awareness campaign, on Thursday 19 June.

As one of London’s largest boroughs – with a gigantic road network including major thoroughfares like the M1, A1, A406 and A41 – cars alone produce 431 tonnes of toxic emissions per year in Barnet.

Find out about Barnet's Shared Lives scheme: where an adult with additional needs is offered a supportive home, a short term stay or daytime support.

More than 1,000 Barnet residents have signed up for the council’s affordable tennis membership scheme, as part of a major transformation of the borough’s tennis facilities that has seen court bookings surge to over 60,000 annually.

The success follows a £1.3 million investment – £700,000 from the Lawn Tennis Association and £600,000 match funding from Barnet Council – to refurbish 41 courts across 21 parks to a high standard.
