The Discover Barnet campaign by Barnet Council began on Monday and will run into the summer. The idea behind the scheme is to encourage residents to support local business owners to ensure Barnet’s high streets are able to overcome the damage the past year has done, and give them the support they need for a positive and thriving future. The Worshipful Mayor of Barnet, Cllr Caroline Stock, said: After the year we have all endured, Barnet’s high streets will only flourish if the local community embraces them and helps nourish them back to the vibrant meeting places and hubs they once were.
