This years Christmas Light switch on was a great community event. Thanks to all of you who came along.

We managed to dodge the end of the Arsenal game and had a celebration of carols and lights.

We would like to thank Nick Hornby, author and local residents for switching them on and the St Joan of Arc Church Choir for fantastic carol singing.

The event, was supported by the Council and local traders .

Cllr Terry Stacy said “The sense of community at the barn grows stronger every year and we are pleased that the Christmas lights have proved to be so popular. They really do make our small local shopping parade feel like Christmas.”

Local councillors have joined residents in a bid to save a historic statute on the Highbury Quadrant Estate. The statue called ‘neighbours’ was erected 50 years ago when the Estate was built. The statue is in a poor condition and is in desperate need of repair. Laura Willoughby has supported a petition collected and signed by local residents calling for the statue to be repaired.

Cllr Laura Willoughby, said: “This statue is a much loved local landmark and residents want to see it protected. The statue has been there since the estate was built 50 years ago and it’s starting to show its age. The statue needs to be repaired urgently and the local Lib Dem councillors are committed to making sure that happens.”

Rebecca Hodgson, Chair of the TRA said: ‘Restoring The neighbours statue is an end in itself - it really does need some attention - but it also symbolizes the TRA’s aspirations to reinvigorate a sense of neighbourliness on Highbury Quadrant. We have a rich history of community activity on the estate, and real potential for a future that lives out the community spirit of those first residents - but translated into a 21st century context.’

Okay I know you may not even have bought yours yet but we thought that before you do we would remind you that we can recycle real trees. This year we are aiming to recycle (compost) more Christmas Trees than ever.

Christmas tree collection arrangements this year will be as follows:

Residents in street facing properties (those on the green box / weekly clear sack recycling scheme) can place their Christmas tree out on their normal recycling collection day. It will be collected by a separate collection crew later in the day and NOT by the normal recycling / green waste / food waste vehicle.

This service will be in place for two weeks from Monday 5th January to Friday 16th January. We will review the position then, but at present, any remaining Christmas trees after that date will be collected by the normal commingled/garden waste recycling vehicles and will still be composted.

HfI have their own arrangements for collections and HfI estate residents should contact their caretaker to have their tree collected.

There are four public Christmas tree recycling sites open between Saturday 3rd January and Sunday 18th January. These are:
