  • Chipping Barnet Team Parish Profile
    Chipping Barnet Team Parish Profile November 2013 Team Overview Location Chipping Barnet is a multi-layered collection of communities that does not reveal its true self at first, or second, glance. In civic and political terms, Barnet (of which Chipping Barnet is a part) is a borough on the northern edge of Greater London. Economically the population covers the socio-economic spectrum, from affluent Hadley and Arkley, to the deprived Whitings Hill and Dollis Valley Estate. The Parish of Chipping Barnet is situated at the extreme southern tip of St Albans Diocese, to the point where London diocese parishes exist between us and our cathedral. Culturally and socially, the church urban fund (www.cuf.org.uk) places us 289 out of the 339 parishes in the diocese, which puts us among the most deprived of parishes. We are ranked around 8000 out of the 13000 parishes in the UK - a “relatively deprived” parish in national terms. The Church Urban Fund identify lone parenthood and child poverty as the two key concerns, and, as mentioned within the individual church sections, we actively support the Chipping Barnet foodbank and the Winter Night Shelter scheme (which offers food and a place to sleep for homeless people throughout the winter months). The Team Rector has a significant civic role as well as the more usual pastoral activities. As well as sitting on the governing body of the two Queen Elizabeth Schools, there are ex-officio posts on the trustees of four locally endowed charities. For example, the Hyde Foundation owns the historic library building in the centre of the Barnet conservation area and has the disbursement of the rental on the property to support the education of young people who live within the boundary of the old parish of St John the Baptist and that of our neighbours in Monken Hadley.

It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.
