What we can offer: We can help you explore the possibility of setting up a new street market, by giving you information and connecting you with other areas that have established successful markets for you to learn from   Where people want to hold local events on the high street, we can provide information and, where appropriate, support to make these a success including helping to navigate the licensing and approval system

We want to work with communities and businesses to improve Barnet’s high streets and create thriving town centres. A Town Team is an independent group of local residents, businesses and community representatives who come together to make their area a better place to live and work. Town Team members come from diverse sectors and backgrounds and are all volunteers. They have the opportunity to become ‘local experts’ in their area and to take a lead on the development of projects that can make positive long-term changes.

There are currently Town Teams (or similar groups) in Chipping Barnet, Cricklewood, East Finchley, Edgware, Golders Green and Whetstone and we are working with businesses, residents and community groups to set up Town Teams in other areas.

We want to make it as easy as possible for established Town Teams to secure the resources that they need to deliver local improvements. This includes pointing them towards and encouraging them to bid for external funding opportunities as they arise. By bidding for external funding themselves (with support and advice from the council) it should enable Town Teams to develop greater local ownership of projects, and to come up with new ideas for how to improve the local town centre.
