Barnet - an age friendly borough? not until you are over 87 years of age.

Here are just a couple of snippets of the typical council puff that spurts out of the Town Hall. 




Reality for one elderly motorist was not friendly. The council fought him all the way, over a PCN issued whilst he was having medical treatment, to the point where he had to take a half day to travel into the centre of London to argue his case in front of an independent adjudicator, one who isn't motivated by the need for revenue.


Given that most parking meters have long been removed in Barnet and that a trip to the nearest suitable shop (during which time you get a PCN) to buy your parking time using PayPoint makes the elderly, who are likely to be less mobile, walk further, doesn't strike Mr Mustard as age friendly.

Well done Mr Stellman for standing your ground.

The end.
