Residents encouraged to check their neighbours during the cold spell
Barnet Council’s Cabinet Member for Adults has called on residents to check on elderly and vulnerable neighbours and relatives during the current cold snap.
Councillor Sachin Rajput said: “With the cold weather set to continue over the weekend and into next week I hope everyone will consider taking the time to call on elderly or vulnerable neighbours and relatives.
“It could just be a quick visit to check they are stocked up on the essentials, that they are keeping warm and safe indoors and perhaps offering to clear their path of any snow or ice.
“The council is keeping in touch with the residents who we have regular contact with and our service providers will also be checking that the residents they are in contact with are okay.”
