Keep Clitterhouse Green

As you may know, the proposed plans for Clitterhouse Playing Fields were unanimously approved by Barnet Council, despite 82% objections.

The application was then referred to the Secretary of State (SoS) because Sport England had objected. However, our MP did not want to get involved and the SoS did not call it in. An opportunity for some levelling-up in Cricklewood was lost.

Our Keep Clitterhouse Green campaign to protect the playing fields continues. 

We are now crowdfunding to determine whether the application can be taken to judicial review. We think there are strong grounds but it is not for us to say. Money raised will pay for solicitors and a barrister to prepare a legal opinion so we can assess best way forward. 

It would be great to have your support.  You can donate via GoFundMe.

A Plant-astic Opportunity!

We’re looking forward to seeing you there! We need as many volunteers as possible to help.

We will be planting on the grassy island in The Vale furthest from Claremont Road.

Please bring along trowels / gloves / spades if you have them!

Tea / coffee and biscuits will be available on site — outside 207 The Vale.

We’re excited that the Mayor of Barnet will be visiting the site on Saturday at 11:30 am.
