We hope you enjoy reading about Totteridge in former times. We have such an enormous wealth of history in Totteridge and Barnet. I never tire of looking at the old photographs of our area and seeing how much it has changed and we hope you find them interesting too. Speaking of history we are delighted to support the Whetstone Trough Appeal. Another subject close to our hearts is the Darlands Nature Reserve. The Darlands Charitable Trust is in the process of being granted a long lease. Eileen Eskenzi and myself have been appointed Trustees as well as Terry Bannister, Chairman of the TMA, two members representing the Mill Hill Preservation Society, Debbie Hobson, Cllrs Caroline Stock and John Hart. You will see that Dianne Murphy, Chairman of the Trustees has written an article covering the aims and endeavours of the Darlands Charitable Trust. There will be a public launch on 20th June, however please see local notices and our website for accurate information nearer the time. It is with much sadness that I inform you of the death of David Howard after a long illness. David had been chairman of the Federation of Residents’ Associations in Barnet (FORAB) for many years . He was a tireless and conscientious chairman, relentlessly passionate about Barnet and aware of every issue affecting the area. He will be sadly missed. For those of you new to the area, the Parish of Totteridge consists of approximately 1,980 households of which 200 lie within the Conservation Area. One of our main responsibilities is to protect the area from over development and our ability to do so requires your help in the form of the annual subscription. At just £5 per household, this amount goes towards our funds which may be required if we need to seek costly professional advice. We are of course also grateful to those residents who wish to donate a larger sum. It would assist us greatly if you would consider paying by standing order, however all subscriptions are welcome! I would like to thank the local businesses who have again supported us. Without their help we could not produce our Yearbook and hopefully you will consider their products and services in the future. We hope you will enjoy reading our Yeabook and look forward to seeing you at our AGM on: Thursday 27th June 2019 Kemp Hall, St Andrew’s School, Totteridge, N20 8NX Best Regards Kerin Conn [email protected] 7 ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING COMMITTEE Kerin Conn continued as Chair for this year and the committee remains the same as the previous year. We continue to meet regularly for CAP(Community Action Panel) meetings. We also attend the FORAB (Federation of Residents’ Associations Barnet) Committee and the CAAC (Conservation Area Advisory Committee). POLICING Every 3 months we meet with the local Totteridge Ward Police team to discuss various issues regarding crime and policing in the area. There has been an increase in car related crime in particular with reference to keyless cars. It is vital that if you have a keyless device you store it in an appropriate signal-blocking container. The police report appears later in the Yearbook. Our local ward policing continues to be carried out by PC A Toporowskyj, PC M Younus, PC M Thomas and PCSO D Morrow. PLANNING The committee continues to view many of the planning applications submitted to Barnet Council. If an application appears to contravene planning rules or is out of keeping with the area the committee will write to the Planning Department. We try to balance the interests of those who want to commence new projects with those residents who consider that they may be adversely affected by the proposed plans. LOCAL HOSPITALS The new state-of-the-art Breast Screening Unit was officially opened on 17th January at Finchley Memorial Hospital. Car parking at Barnet Hospital continues to be a problem especially as several neighbouring roads have been converted to CPZ. An offer from the council to build a multi storey car park was rejected and local councillors are now trying to find out how many spaces are planned. Online booking systems appear to have some problems. ROADS AND ROAD SAFETY Exiting from Waitrose car park has improved with the addition of the new lines on the road. Speeding is still a concern in particular along Totteridge Lane and Longland Drive. We are working with local traffic police to run speed guns at various locations. www.totteridgeresidents.org [email protected] 8 Annual Report by Theresa Villiers, MP preventing young people from being drawn into gangs and crime. The last time this kind of problem occurred, the rate of knife crime was brought down by the previous Mayor and his team at City Hall working closely with the Met police. I have been making the case for more police on the beat in Barnet and I am continuing my campaign to try to save Barnet police station. I recently asked the Prime Minister in Parliament if she would intervene with the London Mayor to save Barnet police station. During an earlier session of PMQs, I asked for more police for Barnet. The any thanks to TotteridgeHome Office subsequently announced a MResidents’ Association for further £172m would be made available giving me the chance to report on some to strengthen policing in London. Now of the work I have been doing over we need to ensure Barnet gets its fair the last 12 months to represent my share of that from the Mayor. constituents in Totteridge and the rest of the Chipping Barnet constituency. I have also asked a Home Office I would like to pay tribute to the TRA minister to confirm that stop and for the great work it does to protect search will be used to the full extent our local environment and quality of permitted by law. life. Antisemitism has been a cause of It’s been another very active year in grave concern over recent months and the constituency for me and I have been this is another issue I have spoken working on a variety of important local about in Parliament, demanding that and London issues.

I believe this would have been far too dense for local infrastructure to cope with, especially in the light of other building projects already going ahead in Whetstone.
