“ As far as I can see there will be absolutely no benefits for Chipping Barnet from letting this monstrosity be built. The traffic is awful as it is and will log jam with a 100 extra cars a day joining or turning off St Albans Road from or into Bruce Road. The Barnet Society even admit the traffic situation is a worry..... we must not allow this worry to become real. The infrastructure cannot sustain a massive hotel in a small site at an already congested junction. The knock on effects of people driving around will be awful from the pollution and noise. Car doors slamming all day and night, taxis waiting with engines running.... it all spells disaster. Think about it.... how can any traveller even get to the hotel? Not by foot from the tube if they have lots of luggage....buses struggle up the high street as it is due to congestion... so they will be in private cars or taxis. No thank you.
Also cited is ‘offering employment or apprentices to nearby residents’...Absolute nonsense. The phrase ‘clutching at straws’ comes to mind.
