EAST FINCHLEY FESTIVAL - 23RD JUNE 2013

Tomorrow, Sunday, the East Finchley Festival will be held in Cherry Tree Woods, opposite East Finchley underground station.

Weather permitting, this promises to be a great family and community event.  The festival has been running for many years and has two performance stages, one at each end of the park, with various acts and live music going on all afternoon.  There are plenty of attractions for children and stalls serving delicious food from around the world and, most importantly for some, there is the "drinks tent"!

The BARNET CPZ ACTION team will be together with our own stall for the last time before our Court day on 2nd July, so do come along and meet us (in case you haven't already) and join in the fun.  There is likely to be a film crew there who are documenting the parking problems generally, so we want to show we are a force to be reckoned with!

We would especially welcome any of our supporters to come along and give us a hand for an hour or so on the stall.  Any help would be very much appreciated, so let us know if you can come and give a hand with our games and lucky dip.

You can find out more about the East Finchley Festival on their Facebook page.  https://www.facebook.com/East.Finchley.Festival.

Please note that the Northern Line has planned engineering works in operation, but replacement buses are available.

We hope you can come along.

The Final Push - New Leaflet

We are currently in the process of urgently distributing our new leaflet, reminding people of the trial on 2nd July and making a final appeal for funds.   Barnet CPZs cover a huge area, so in case we don't get to you or your neighbours here's a copy which you may want to print and stick in your window, forward to your Neighbourhood Watch Officer,  Community Group or anyone you know living within a controlled parking zone.

BBC 1 Documentary Makers Want To Hear From You

The campaign to overturn Barnet's unfair CPZ parking charges will feature prominently in a documentary TV programme being made for BBC 1 about parking.   The programme makers will follow the campaign in its final stages up to the trial of the legal action on 2nd July and want to hear of the experiences and views of Barnet residents.  

They are urgently looking for a number of contributors to appear in the programme.  Perhaps you could explain how you and your family have been affected by the charges?  Or how you have campaigned against them?  The programme is being made over the course of the next few weeks and the makers will be able to meet you at a time and place convenient for you. 

If you might like to appear in the programme, please email us at barnetcpz@gmail.com for more information.
