Barnet Council Retention Schedule

This document sets out Barnet Council’s Retention Schedule. The retention schedule classifies council documents and sets how long they need to be stored before they can be destroyed. The retention schedule applies to all records irrespective of the format in which they are maintained or the format on which they are held.
Barnet Council is required by the Code of Practice on the Management of Records issued under Section 46 of the Freedom of Information Act 2000 to have and to implement a records retention and disposal schedule. This document sets out details about all the records created and kept by us.
The Schedule sets out best practice regarding record retention and incorporates Retention guidelines and legislation pertaining to the records themselves. It is a live document that will be amended and modified as and when retention details change, new information is kept, or regulations and legislation that govern information and its use are changed.
The Council stores a vast amount of information. The schedule creates best practice by:

  Identifying records that may be worth preserving permanently.
  Prevention of premature destruction of records that need retaining for a specified period to satisfy legal, financial, and other requirements of public administration.
  Allowing consistency for the destruction of those records not required permanently.
  Ensures the Council does not hold on to information or records for longer than necessary.

Data Protection Impact Assessments

A Data Protection Impact Assessment (DPIA) is one of the ways to find out what privacy risks people face when information is collected, used, stored, or shared about them. This helps the London Borough of Barnet find issues so that risks can be taken away or lowered to a level that is acceptable. It also cuts down on privacy breaches and complaints that could hurt the Council's reputation or lead to action by the Information Commissioner (the government watchdog).
The London Borough of Barnet makes DPIAs public in with its Data Charter and the 2018 Data Protection Act and UK GDPR.

The Local Plan is a collection of Development Plan Documents (DPDs) Core Strategy and Development Management Policies documents and Supplementary Planning Documents (SPDs) to deliver positive social, economic, and environmental outcomes and provide the overarching local policy framework for delivering sustainable development in Barnet.

Saracens Drawdowns

Barnet Council entered into a £22.9 Million Loan Agreement plus an amount for fees not to exceed £229,450 with Saracens Copthall LLP for the construction of a new West Stand as part of the StoneX Stadium (formerly Allianz Park Stadium) at Copthall on 29th January 2019. 
 
The new stand will also include a cutting-edge media centre to be used as a ‘Learning Zone’ outside of match days. The charitable Saracens Foundation will work with the council and other partners to use the facility to inspire and support young people and others who are struggling with mainstream education, or who are seeking to develop themselves personally to improve employment opportunities. 
 
Barnet Council has helped facilitate taking the project to this new phase, and releasing drawdowns from the loan funding at agreed stages and undertaking due diligence. Further tranches will be released as confidence grows in the evolving business plan. Interest is charged on the loan at 6% and the loan therefore provides a positive contribution to the Council’s Medium Term Financial Strategy.
 
The paperwork for each drawdown is published here and will be added to as further drawdowns are made.
