This morning, I met with #Barclays to discuss the closure of their Barclays Local in Alexandra Palace Library. I expressed my deep disappointment at their withdrawal of this service, especially in light of the closure of all Barclays branches in Hornsey & Friern Barnet since I was elected in 2015.

Great to stop by Swallow House in Hornsey on Friday. I caught up with residents about healthcare challenges, how they can make sure they are receiving what they are entitled to, and improvements they would like to see in the local area.
