“ You have to have free parking for some time in the Town as so many people have children and need to come to Barnet by car. I live not far away in PB and come to Barnet for playgroups where I get free parking whilst attending playgroup. But if there was free parking elsewhere after playgroup I would stay longer and actually do some worthwhile shopping here instead of driving to a large supermarket with a free car park or retail park on the way home instead. It is essential to get people back in to Barnet and buying! By doing this we can make money and make Barnet an attractive place for people to come and spend their cash as well as a Town where people want to go out and socialise in the evenings too. The Spires has just increased their parking charges so I will NOT being going in there anymore.... so please sort this out and get Barnet trading as the Town it should be by having free parking! ”
