Traders angry at council plans to introduce parking charges in East Barnet will be speaking on the issue at a residents' association meeting this evening.

A petition of more than 3,000 signatures has been gathered by shop owners in the village after Barnet Council announce it wants to introduce charges to the Church Hill Road car park.

Tonight’s meeting, organised by the East Barnet Residents’ Association, will also be attended by the ward’s three Conservative representatives from Barnet Council.
