Chipping Barnet in north London is very much a blue-versus-red battle. I headed to a nail bar to find out how voters are feeling. But this time it is looking like an even tougher fight for her, because two years ago Labour had a major victory in the local elections, winning control of Barnet Council from the Conservatives.
She added: “That’s why I’m fighting so many of these anti-car proposals like building on station car parks and expanding the Ultra Low Emission Zone.”Nationally, Labour has promised to make roads smoother and safer, which might resonate in a borough known for its potholes. But on Whetstone High Road voters told me they were concerned about the cost of living.
