Barnet Council will not remove a controversial parklet in Hendon – despite opposition claims the move is “a no-brainer”.

The decision to allow the renewal of a licence for the space at 134 Brent Street came during a cabinet member on Tuesday.

    Maybe a decade ago ago I lived in a small town where the local chamber of commerce worked with the city to fight against the opening of a restaurant catering to a foreign ethnicity in a prime location on main street. This reminds me of that.

    Edit: Found this photo online, looks pretty popular despite what the counselor states.

        It was around 2018, in Canada, and wasn’t a pita shop.
