“ Please leave the fields around Whalebones alone. There is little to no green space that side of Barnet and the woods and fields around Whalebones presents a valuable open space between Victorian Barnet and the more modern developments on the borders with Arkley. As Theresa Villiers, MP for Chipping Barnet, said: “We all recognise the need for more housing, but this does not mean that we should erode the character of the neighbourhood and encroach on historic green spaces like Whalebones in order to do it. Whalebones Park is the kind of land that it is crucial to protect." ”
