Squatters open Friern Barnet Library

A group of squatters have reopened Friern Barnet Library for public use after Barnet Council ignored an 18-month campaign by local residents and closed it down in April with plans to sell it off to private developers.
Local campaigners were initially wary of the squatters activists and their methods and unhappy at the council for immediately entering into negotiations with them, but have subsequently warmed to them and their effective approach.
