“ As a former treasurer of the Methodist Scout Group I have many happy memories of the church and buildings of which only the two spires remain. I shall be sad to see them go BUT this is in the interests of reviving Barnet as an attractive place to shop and halt the further decline of the High St. The two Spires themselves have sentimental associations but no architectural merit . I can quite understand why the new owners want them to be replaced by a more inviting entrance. On this occasion It would be better for God to give way to Mammon. ”
