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


                                                                                                              
  PRESENTS
 The Future of Transport in Finchley 
 
Thursday 21st March 2013 at 7-30pm
Avenue House, 17 East End Road, N3 3QE
Join us for a Future Of Transport In Finchley discussion evening at Avenue House. We have invited a panel of experts to field your questions and stimulate a lively debate on all aspects of local travel. 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? We now have 150,000 cars in the borough, more than 10 times the number we had 50 years ago. Our once practically empty roads are now jam packed and fume filled, pollution is at dangerously high levels and priority has been given to motor traffic at all costs. 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 Mayors 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 an interesting and stimulating discussion evening. Please submit questions in writing by March 15th.
