A row has broken out between Barnet LBC and Unison over the financial health of the council's new trading company, Your Choice Barnet.
Following a meeting between Barnet Unison and Your Choice Barnet – which council officials described as ‘confidential' – the union claimed the company was projecting an end of year deficit three times larger than in its initial estimate. Unison officials claimed they were told the company, a spin-off from Barnet's adult services department, would reach a £700,000 deficit by April 2013.
