“ Concerned about three new restaurants opening in the spires will it not take away the trade from the other new one at the front in the high road starting with C. Or are any of these proposed new ones already in the High Barnet high street now and just being moved to the spires. I thought we already had a very good selection of diverse restaurants already. Sorry to see that the market will be squashed into a much smaller space outside waitrose which means we will not be encouraging any new traders to Barnet like we used to have therefore people will not come to Barnet on the Wednesday's or Saturday's. Barnet is my closest shopping area and once upon a time I always shopped here but refuse to pay the parking as its far too expensive. It's ok to say that there are free spaces around Barnet but you try and find one when you need it. Solution would be to get the Spires management to review their fees to a more realistic affordable amount rather than have the parking places empty like they are at the moment on a daily basis. Or another idea could be if one spent we'll say £20 in a shop they would get free or part of the parking fee refunded by the shop in question. ”
