Conservatives outlined the support they were providing to residents and businesses during the coronavirus pandemic – including an extra £1 million to help low-income families with their council tax. But Labour leader Cllr Barry Rawlings told the Tories it was time they “woke up and smelt the Fairtrade coffee” as he urged greater action to protect the environment.

Photos showing the rubbish problem at the Welsh Harp Reservoir (Images: Leila Taheri) A volunteer is calling for a “concerted effort” to clean up a local beauty spot blighted by littering and fly-tipping. Leila Taheri says thousands of bags of litter have been collected from in and around Brent Reservoir – also known as the Welsh Harp – but despite the best efforts of volunteer litter-pickers, the rubbish keeps on piling up. The Welsh Harp is owned by the Canal and River Trust, with Barnet Council and Brent Council among the organisations involved in its management.
