Welcome to the web site of the Barnet Residents Association. For a flavour of what we do, look at our newsletters -- the latest is the newsletter for January 2010.

Age Concern Barnet

Members may be interested in the work and services of Age Concern Barnet, a charity which provides opportunities and support to anyone over the age of 55 in the London Borough of Barnet. Their web site is at www.ageconcernbarnet.org.

They run exercise classes, befriending, a handyperson scheme, computer lessons and at the moment they are also running roadshows about distraction burglary, and a photography competition.

Local Development Framework Consultation

We have sent a response to the Council as part of their consultation on the Local Development Framework. We are generally pleased with the document, but have some specific concerns. Read the full response.

Barnet Market

Barnet Market is now back on the original St Albans Road site.

Annual General Meeting 23rd June 2009

We held our Annual General Meeting on Tuesday 23 June 2009 at 8pm in The Wesley Hall, Stapylton Road, Barnet, EN5 4JJ.

Following the formal business David Howard of New Barnet Residents Association led a discussion on the controversial Asda/Tesco plans for new stores in New Barnet, with particular reference to how community groups can galvanise public opinion to influence the planning process.

Conservation Area

The Barnet Residents Association is concerned that Barnet Council is allowing inappropriate alterations to shop frontages in the High Barnet conservation area. For details see The Management of High Barnet Conservation Area.

About Us

Barnet Residents Association (BRA) covers the High Barnet and Underhill wards in the London Borough of Barnet. A map showing the exact area can be seen on London Borough of Barnet’s website – see Links.

BRA aims to watch and safeguard the interests of residents in the area covered. We take an interest in matters in the area which might affect residents such as parking and road safety, local transport and more generally the plans and activities of the local Council. We look at planning applications for major projects which might affect people generally, although we do not have the resources to look at all small planning applications.

Our exact terms of reference can be seen in the Association's Constitution.
