Welcome to our Barnet Question Time page

As part of our ambition to be an engaged and effective council, and our refreshed approach to community engagement, we have launched a new series of events that give the public direct access to the Leader of the Council and our Cabinet. These Q&A sessions are an opportunity for Barnet residents and business owners to ask the questions that matter to them or simply tell us what you think about the borough and how we can improve.

Details of sessions will be posted here as they are organised, and you can also view previous events below. There will be a mix of virtual and face to face events organised over the coming months.

For an hour the council’s political leaders were grilled on a variety of issues affecting young people, from council finances and tackling the cost-of-living crisis, through to sustainability and dealing with the vape epidemic.
