RESOVLED that:

 

Council notes that 62% of Barnet residents voting in the EU Referendum voted to remain in Europe.

 

Council also notes that whatever is in the final Brexit deal, it will have implications for local businesses, our local economy, public services including our local NHS, local partners including Middlesex University, local jobs and our residents including circa 29,000 EU citizens and their children living in Barnet.

 

Council notes that it is not clear whether there will be a soft Brexit, hard Brexit or no deal at all.

 

Council therefore calls on the Government to give the British people, including Barnet residents, the best possible deal.
