REJECT the Council accommodation review – STOP the move to Colindale, NO to the £50million squander
PROTEST AT THE COUNCIL MEETING: TUESDAY 26 JULY, 6pm
Hendon Town Hall, The Burroughs, NW4 4AX
Tory Barnet councillors and Capita are planning to move council services from the North London Business Park and Barnet House into a new purpose built accommodation in Colindale.
This will cost Barnet residents £50 million and no savings are expected for 50 years while Capita, it is believed, will receive a 14% fee!
The council has not fully secured or identified the resources needed to make this work. At time of massive cuts, including making 46% of library staff redundant, this will make cuts to front line services even worse.
This decision for new accommodation will be as dangerous and costly as that to sell off Mill Hill depot when no alternative had been secured. Now vehicles servicing Barnet are to be stationed further away in Harrow and at Abbots Road, creating more traffic and more pollution. The location in Colindale is remote, and the access to it will be as difficult and frustrating as are the Barnet’s call centre and website.
PROTEST AT THIS WASTE OF £50million
