Hendon Town Hall Registration Service Relocation

Introduction

London Borough of Barnet’s Assets, Regeneration and Growth Committee has agreed to move the Barnet Registration Service from its current location in Burnt Oak to Hendon Town Hall.

In order to facilitate this move, building work will take place at Hendon Town Hall to create additional work space and meeting rooms for the Registration Service.

A Listed Building Consent application has been submitted to the Planning Authority to enable the building work to take place at Hendon Town Hall.

The building work is estimated to commence in November 2016, and the Registration Service will look to move when the work is complete.

photocopy room will be modified to create a secure room for registrar records.

Hendon Town Hall First Floor (Committee Room 3)

Building work will be required to create new office space for Barnet staff on the first floor.
