	Barnet Council : Nomensa - Humanising Technology
		Following a recent review of the Council’s corporate identity, Barnet established the need to redesign their website.
		Whilst refreshing the site in keeping with existing style guidelines, Barnet Council needed to offer improved online services and effective communication of their five key messages to its users.
		The result is a professional, dynamic website which has been recommended to all the councils as a best practice exmaple.

	letsrecycle.com - News and information for the Recycling and Waste Management Community
		Barnet became the first local authority in the UK to introduce a compulsory recycling scheme in early 2004 (see letsrecycle.com story).
		Still the only council in the UK to employ a compulsory system for recycling, Barnet is using provisions of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 as a legal basis for its compulsory scheme, and if the approach is ultimately successful other councils could follow suit.
		Barnet has said that most households joined in on the scheme after the initial letter, and as each phase of the compulsory system has moved on, more households have started recycling, leaving only the Totteridge household remaining.

		The controversial sale of Barnet FC's Underhill Stadium from the council to the club is to be investigated for a fourth time at the request of a senior member of Barnet Conservatives, bringing the total amount spent on looking into the sale to just under a quarter of a million pounds.
		Although council leader Victor Lyon said on Tuesday the issue of the sale was a closed book', some cabinet members have said they are dissatisfied with the previous three investigations and approached the external auditor, Price Waterhouse Coopers, with a view to securing another investigation.
		In February 2002 Barnet Council, a Labour administration at the time, sold the freehold of the stadium to Barnet Football Club Holdings Ltd, whose sole director is Barnet FC chairman Tony Kleanthous, for £10,000.

	edie news centre - Barnet residents must recycle or face fines
		In what is believed to be a national first, all those living in Barnet's 113,000 houses are now required by the council to separate and recycle their household rubbish using the local kerbside collection service.
		While some other councils currently have red and yellow card schemes in place to deal with those who refuse to comply with waste collection services, this is the first local authority in the UK to impose fines according to Alice Roberts, spokesperson for the Local Government Association (LGA).
		Barnet Council was set a recycling target of 27% for 2005/06 by the government, but this was raised to 30% through a local public service agreement.

	Livingstone withholds £1.5m from 'loony right' council \| Society \| SocietyGuardian.co.uk
		Barnet council has ripped out road humps in defiance of his transport safety measures, which have the force of law, withdrawn cycle lanes and increased the danger to pedestrians by introducing parking on pavements, Mr Livingstone said.
		The council's executive cabinet member for the environment, Brian Coleman, branded the claims as "absolute bollocks", insisting that the council's measures had widespread public support.
		Barnet is also accused of cutting its funding for cycle training in schools, failing to spend a £120,000 allocation from TfL it received last year for improvements to the London Cycle Network, and failing to bid for a share of this year's funding for the London Cycle Network.

	Fuel Management - Barnet Council Builds for the Future
		For the London Borough of Barnet this has resulted in a number of initiatives, in particular the operation and maintenance of its vehicle fleet operating out of the council's Mill Hill depot in North London.
		Whilst most of the fleet are currently diesel powered, the council is increasing the use of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) as a cheaper and more environmentally friendly alternative to unleaded petrol.
		Barnet already operates a small number of LPG vans and this is expected to grow to a significant fleet of around 50 vehicles by the end of March.

	Barnet: Club’s Survival On a Knife Edge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		In the middle of May, the Barnet council announce that a road - Priory Grove - was pedestrian access only, a decision that would have effectively rendered it impossible for the club to use their Underhill Stadium.

		Barnet chairman Tony Kleanthous and former director Graham Slyper have been called as witnesses to an audit investigation being undertaken by Price Waterhouse Coopers "as a consequence of detailed statutory objections made by electors".
		A statement on behalf of the Barnet directors suggests that the "aggressive tone" in correspondence sent by Price Waterhouse Coopers raised the question as to whether this was to be an independent inquiry or yet another witch-hunt instigated by local Tories.
		"Although no-one has accused Barnet FC of doing anything wrong, the club's name is associated with every inquiry and investigation and a certain amount of unfair mud sticks while this apparant hounding goes on at a cost to the club of several hundreds of thousands of pounds.

		Council leader Brian Salinger said he believed that the council-owned park in Montrose Avenue is the only option in the borough available to the club, which has seen previous attempts to build a new stadium at Underhill in Barnet and Copthall in Mill Hill, thwarted.
		Dennis Signy, spokesman for Barnet FC, said that it was too early to say whether this was the solution, but that the club was looking forward to receiving a feasibility study for us to assess exactly what is on offer'.
		She believes that there is enough space in the park for a stadium, and that the community, especially teenagers, could benefit from having the club in Burnt Oak, but she warned that development on the land may be restricted by covenants.
