SANITARY CONVENIENCES
There are 70 male and 68 female public conveniences adjoining the highway and
within the curtilage of the Council's parks and open spaces, hand washing facilities
are provided at 47 male and 47 female conveniences. The use of conveniences including
hand washing facilities is free in the Borough.
The convenience at Glebe Land on the North Circular Road has been enlarged and
modernised during the year and new conveniences have been built at Bittacy Park.
The sanitary fittings in all the public conveniences have been thoroughly descaled
and cleaned by a firm of specialist contractors and it is anticipated that this will now be
done annually.
SEWERAGE AND SEWAGE DISPOSAL
The system of sewerage in the Barnet area is partially separate and partially
combined, whilst the rural areas of Arkley and Totteridge are unsewered. Treatment and
disposal is partly at the Greater London Council (East Middlesex) main drainage works,
Deephams, Edmonton and partly at West Hertfordshire main drainage works, Rickmansworth,
Herts.
Apart from isolated cases, the Friern Barnet area is entirely sewered. Only a small
area exists where there is a combined drainage sewerage system. Treatment and disposal
is at Edmonton.
The whole of the Finchley area has a separate sewerage system and is sewered.
Treatment and disposal is at Edmonton.
In the East Barnet Area there is a separate sewerage system except for the older
development in Monken Hadley area where it is partly combined. The whole of the
district is sewered and treatment and disposal is at Edmonton.
The Hendon area has a separate sewerage system except for small areas of old
development which are partly combined, and these are being eliminated as housing redevelopment
projects progress.
In the Hendon Wood Lane area, which is not sewered, a scheme has been implemented
by the Council to eliminate cesspool drainage. Treatment and disposal is at the Greater
London Council (West Middlesex) works, Mogden.
