Barnet Council is to receive £55.7m in government support as part of its financial plans to close the council’s budget gap for the next year.

The Leader of the Council, Cllr Barry Rawlings, received notice on Thursday afternoon (20 February) of the decision by the Ministry of Housing, Communities & Local Government that the council’s application for ‘exceptional financial support’ was granted.

A landlord has been ordered to pay £37,000 in fines and costs after Barnet Council inspectors found 18 tenants including children and infants, sharing a house in Edgware.

The home, in Fairmead Crescent, Edgware, originally built as a three-bedroom linked terraced house had been converted into eight bedsits and was being operated without a licence.

The result of yesterday’s by-election in the Burnt Oak ward has been declared at Barnet Council Headquarters, in Colindale. 

The seat was won by Labour Party candidate, Charlotte Elizabeth Daus. 

This means the political composition of the Council is now 40 Labour, 19 Conservative and 3 members who are not part of a council political group (and one vacancy in Finchley Church End Ward).

The turnout for this by-election was 17.3 per cent.
