Andrew Dismore, the Labour London Assembly member,who has just been formally notified of the decision said: ‘Boris Johnson has ignored all the objections submitted to the Council and to himself. He has ignored the petition signed by over 1500 people. He has ignored the representations of the ward’s Labour Councillors and myself, as the London Assembly member. ‘He couldn’t even be bothered to make the decision himself , delegating it to his chief of staff. ‘The Mayor has said he won’t intervene - and Barnet can take whatever decisions it wants for itself. ‘This is disastrous news for the local residents, whom Barnet thinks it can ignore. They face years of more heavy lorries more pollution , more noise, more bad smells, more intrusive light, more pest infestations and more risks to road safety. Barnet Council should be ashamed- and so should Barnet Conservative Cllr Rutter, who in supporting her Party before her ward residents has allowed this terrible decision to happen. She should resign’. For further information call Andrew Dismore 07957 625 813 Kind regards Stamo
