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.

Membership is only £3 (single) or £5 (family) for a year. Members get three newsletters per year plus regular emails about events in the area. To join, see below.

To be alerted when a new newsletter is published on the web site, subscribe to the web feed.

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

SPACES

If you live in any of the following roads in High Barnet, you may be interested in joining your local group SPACES, which represents residents in matters relating to planning and traffic, and tries to support the friendly atmosphere that has been a feature of the four roads over the years:

• Alston Road
• Calvert Road
• Puller Road
• Sebright Road

See their web site at www.spacesbarnet.co.uk for details.

High Barnet Green Home Zone

Do you live in High Barnet? Would you like to save money on your heating? The High Barnet Green Home Zone people will do a free survey of your house or flat and show you what to do. They are not trying to sell you anything - it's run by volunteers trying to stop global warming and you may as well take advantage of it. Details on their web site at www.greenhomezone.org.

Not the "Residents' Association of Barnet"

Note that the Barnet Residents Association is a completely separate organisation from the Residents' Association of Barnet (see also their branch in New and East Barnet). As an organisation, we did not back particular candidates in the local elections, and we only cover the High Barnet and Underhill wards.

Barnet Market

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

For more information about the Friends of Barnet Market see their web site at www.fobm.co.uk.
