WELCOME TO THE WEBSITE FOR
THE BARNET GROWTH GROUP
OUR VISION
Barnet is a wonderful borough but it could be so much more. The Barnet Growth Group is an association of residents who support and champion proposals that will help meet the challenges our Borough faces.
The Group supports new high-quality housing that suit the needs of people across the age spectrum, and proposals that create jobs and wealth within the London Borough of Barnet.
Alongside this, we support measures that will improve our public realm and particularly those that encourage more people to visit our stagnating retail centres.
We also support proposals to prioritise sustainable ways of travelling through and around the Borough.
For too long, the debate about new development in the Borough has been dominated by people who don't recognise the need for change, and the need to cater for future generations.
That needs to change and fast,
Our Borough needs forward-thinkers.
It needs innovation and new ideas.
It needs a diverse range of voices making the case for growth, and those prepared to say yes in my back yard.
We know Barnet can be better, and the Barnet Growth Group will work to achieve that.
