Barnet Labour Council Leader, Barry Rawlings said: “I am proud that we represent wards throughout the borough, from Colindale to Barnet Vale, Childs Hill to Underhill. That’s because we care about all of our borough.
“I want to thank the residents of Barnet Vale for their support. Their backing inspires us to keep on changing Barnet for the better.”
Barnet Vale resident Sue Sullivan said: “Sue Baker is a pillar of the Barnet community. I know she will serve us well.
