What is a Town Team?
We want to work with communities and businesses to improve Barnet’s high streets and create thriving town centres.
A Town Team is an independent group of local residents, businesses and community representatives who come together to make their area a better place to live and work.
Town Team members come from diverse sectors and backgrounds and are all volunteers. They have the opportunity to become ‘local experts’ in their area and to take a lead on the development of projects that can make positive long-term changes.

How can Town Teams help improve the local area?
Barnet’s Town Teams are involved in a range of projects from organising small and large community events to being actively involved in reshaping the borough’s high streets and town centres.
