For those who aren't so keen on walking, try this easier event.

As well as the above slideshow, Mr Greenacres will also be showing the latest in our series of slide show presentations. If you thought you knew Finchley, think again, this armchair tour will take you to places you may not know existed - all on your own doorstep. This presentation will focus on buildings and spaces in or around our town centres without venturing too far off the beaten track but never fear, there are still treasures to discover.

The presentation will take place Saturday 25th May, 2pm at Trinity Church Centre as part of the Trinity in May Festival. Each event will look at different locations, the primary purpose to show good walking routes.

The Future of Transport in Finchley

 March Meeting - The Future of Transport In Finchley

The Finchley Society, Environment and Transport Committee, March meeting at Avenue House will be a discussion evening entitled The Future Of Transport In Finchley. We Have invited a panel of experts to field your questions and, we hope, stimulate a lively debate on all aspects of local travel. 

Nowadays the motor car is often regarded as an indispensable accoutrement of modern

living. But is it so absolutely necessary? And what is the true cost? There are now over 150,000 cars in the borough, more than 10 times the number that we had 50 years ago and we now have more cars here than homes. Without doubt cars have brought about huge changes to the face of Finchley in the last half century. Our once practically empty roads are now often jam packed and fume filled. Pollution is now at dangerously high levels. Priority has been given to motor traffic at all costs, and as roads have expanded, greenery has disappeared.

 But what about more sustainable forms of transport? Are we here in Finchley doing enough? Have we joined the Mayor’s ‘Cycling Revolution‘? Could we be walking more? What about new technology like electric cars and hydrogen fuel cells? Are we planning a public transport infrastructure for future generations. Is the Council doing enough for sustainable future transport? If you have any views or questions, please come along for what promises to be a interesting and stimulating discussion evening.

The Future of Transport In Finchley, Avenue House
Thursday March 21^st 2013 7-30pm for an 8-00pm start.

Please submit specific questions or queries in writing by 15^th March
