Tenants and residents of the Sweets Way and West Hendon estates gather outside Hendon Town Hall.
It's a bright, warm Wednesday evening (13 May).
They want to hand petitions containing 200,000 signatures to Barnet Council leader Richard Cornelius.
They're protesting against the developer-led 'regeneration' of their estates.
They include children of families either compelled or evicted to move from secure council tenancies to private sector tenancies in other parts of the borough.
But private security guards bar the front door - as police look on.
Younger protesters and children vainly try to gain entry through a ground floor window opened by council staff.
Eventually, only a handful of protesters are allowed into the public building with their petitions.
