On Monday 22nd October at 6pm, the
world premiere of a new film, Barnet - The Billion Pound Gamble will be shown
at the iconic Phoenix Cinema in East Finchley. The film has been made by
acclaimed US film director Charles Honderick and exposes the chaos being
wrought by the policies of Barnet Council.
Local residents are interviewed and
explain just how difficult life has become. A family with a child suffering
severe disability tells how no appropriate accommodation has been provided
for eleven years. Users of day centres explain how cuts to transport have
affected them and how they get charged £1.20 for a cup of Nescafe. Local
traders tell the tale of how the parking policies have forced them to the brink.
Award winning film director Ken Loach explains how outsourcing destroys local
economies. A host of experts explain how the One Barnet programme is
doomed to failure, it is a Billion Pound Gamble, where private
companies will pick up fat cheques, local residents will get shoddy services
and local taxpayers will be left to pick up the bill.
The film also features shocking
scenes filmed inside the Town Hall as uncaring local councillors dismiss the
concerns of residents and laugh as important decisions, which will cause misery
for thousands, are passed without proper debate.
The official trailer for the film
has been released today and can be viewed on the film website - http://www.billionpoundgamble.co.uk
