Mill Hill Pocket Park delayed

I understand that Cllr Sury Khatri has stated in a Barnet meeting that he could not see any demand for the proposed Mill Hill Pocket Park to be located at the junction of Brockenhurst Gardens and the Broadway and that he had not been consulted. 

This is incredible considering that not only have the Neighbourhood Forum have been very much promoting this plan for a long time, even Cllr Khatri's own party have mentioned the Pocket Park proposals on their own leaflets!

Cllr Khatri's opposition to the scheme means that the Pocket Park is now delayed. This scheme would be a welcome addition to Mill Hill. This is really needed to deliver improvements to make the Town Centre more attractive and to encourage greater footfall and investors.

A polite email to Cllr Khatri, supporting the Pocket Park proposals for Mill Hill, copied to Jamie Cooke, the senior officer from Barnet involved with the Pocket Park proposals would really help. Their email addresses are: cllr.s.khatri@barnet.gov.uk and jamie.cooke@barnet.gov.uk
