“ The spires are part of our heritage in Barnet. The version without them is hideous - no character at all.
Shops have disappeared from the Spires due to the rents being too high.
People are disappearing from shopping in Barnet High Street due to the lack of interesting shops and the fact that the parking is only payable by phone nearly everywhere.
For the forseeable future I shall continue shopping in Enfield instead - a vibrant centre which encourages the shopper. ”
