We would especially welcome any insight in whether there are some areas that are better than others- e.g. for quality of houses, being clean, low crime, environment, etc. And which part of PB is the nicest?

Thank you.

It is to dig out 8 inches of surface, then refill. During half term week, the section of road being resurfaced will be closed between 9am and 5pm. The following week, it will be 9.30 to 4.30pm. The Admiral Byng roundabout will be closed for 1 or 2 working days - which will close Manor Road, and the service road behind the shops for the 9/9.30am to 4.30/5.00pm period. I assume the phasing is such that those that live in roads from The Avenue to Mountway, will maintain a vehicle route to and from their home. Some drainage work is also being done at Admiral Byng. Its costing £200,000.]]> The work will be done in 3 phases from The Mountway to the Admiral Byng roundabout. It is to dig out 8 inches of surface, then refill.

Is it me or does anyone think this is an utter joke??? New Barnet is being included, so why cant PB, even if we had to be in a 7th zone? Just like the zones of the metropolitan line that extends to zone 9! We use oyster all the time for the buses, and it would have made sense that oyster was available on the train too. Seems to me totally unfair. FCC obviously have a good thing going at PB station & enjoy this little cash cow! Whilst we get a good fleecing! nice.

Anyone have any ideas on this?]]>

I'm a 3rd year Geography student at the University of Nottingham, who is currently completing a dissertation on social relations with the gypsy and traveller sites in Hertsmere.

As part of my project, I would like to get the attitudes of the public towards the current sites in and around Potters Bar, and potentially any more that may be created.

I am therefore looking for about 8 volunteers who will be happy to attend a short meeting at 8pm on Monday 14th December, at St John’s Methodist Church, Baker Street. Refreshments will be provided.

It will be really useful to get a wide range of views on this topic-of both men and women; people of all ages; and those who have no problem with the gypsy/ travellers sites, and those that do. In particular, I would really appreciate and encourage anyone who is a local resident near the Barnet Road site to participate, as this site is a special area of focus for my study.

If you are happy to take part, please do get in contact on 07929 441 274 or at ndonko@hotmail.co.uk. If you also have any friends or family that may be able to help, please encourage them to contact me too.

Thank you, and any help you can lend will be greatly appreciated.]]>

I run a small charity rehoming rescue dogs and I'm looking for volunteers who can offer short-term foster homes ideally in the P.Bar area where I'm based.

Volunteers must obviously be dog lovers with some experience of owning or looking after dogs. They must be at home most of the day and with no children under 10 years old.

All expenses covered such as food, bowls, leads etc.

If you think you can help, please contact me for more details.

“Tackling anti-social behaviour in Darkes Lane and the train station is one of our Parkfield ward priorities,” said Neighbourhood Officer PC Jonathan Singleton. “Local residents have told us this is of concern to them and as a result, we are working in partnership with British Transport Police (BTP) to tackle the problem.”

BTP Sergeant Neil McGrath said: “The operation in conjunction with the local Hertsmere Safer Neighbourhood Team was highly successful. Through our joint working and high visibility policing of the train station and surrounding areas, we deterred those thinking about committing crime or anti-social behaviour.

"This also reassured both commuters and members of the local community, particularly in Darkes Lane, The Walk and the High Street. We were well received with the local community and I look forward to building on both this relationship and working more closely with Hertfordshire Constabulary.”

Jonathan said: “This was the first time we linked in with BTP and it worked very well. We also made use of ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) and our Special Constables (volunteers with police powers) and used dogs to patrol other areas we knew young people visit to smoke cannabis, including Oakmere Park and Parkfield Park.”

He said: “Although we didn’t make any arrests, it was a successful operation in tackling anti-social behaviour and we had favourable comments from the managers of McDonalds, Subway and The Admiral Byng pub – who have all been victims of anti-social behaviour in the area. We will continue to run joint operations with BTP in and around the station as it has been highlighted as important to both residents and businesses in the area.”]]>

We're looking for anyone who wants to become involved in day to day management here.

Please get in contact with me if you'd be able to help out.

Why are you looking for people to help?
I'm going to university. Whilst I'd be happy to carry on with the technical arrangements and paying for the site I really think the site would benefit from someone in town who can encourage debate, promote the site and ensures everything is kept civilised!

What does this involve?
Very little work at all. It would just be nice if someone wants to help promote the site, encourage debate and as mentioned, keep it civilised.

Will I get paid?
Erm no. Just a wonderful warm feeling from volunteering. Surely that's as good as money?

What if no one wants to help?
Sadly I might have to close the forum (this isn't suppose to look so much like emotional blackmail - just reflects the realities of the situation).
