A PRESSURE group hoping to stop plans by Barnet Council to privatise some of its services is showing a film highlighting their points next week.

The Barnet Alliance for Public Services (BAPS) is showing The Big Takeover at the Greek Cypriot Cultural Centre in Britannia Road, North Finchley, from 7pm.

The groups argues that privatising council services benefits only the companies taking on the contracts, but Barnet Council says privitisation is the best way to save money and run services more efficiently.
