Barnet Council Environment Committee examined various options for  the future of Street Scene in September 2016. Barnet UNISON was highly critical of the options appraisal and recommended the full in-house provision and rejection of continued management by Barnet Group and outsourcing. The Committee recommended a further report on the in-house option. Subsequently, a report to the Committee May 2017 recommended “the Street Scene Delivery Unit services including; recycling and waste, street cleansing, and green spaces maintenance (Lots 1-3) to revert to a full In–House service.” This was later approved by the full Council.
