"The public inquiry into the West Hendon Estate has come to an end.

"The inquiry, which lasted eight days, looked into Barnet Council’s use of compulsory purchase orders (CPOs) in the West Hendon regeneration scheme, which will order people to sell their homes to make way for 2,000 new flats.

"Overseen by inspector Zoe Hill, the inquiry heard evidence from council officers, developers, architects, tenants and councillors at Brent Cross Holiday Inn and Hendon Town Hall.

"Protesters marched to the town hall last week to show their support for tenants who face being moved out of the estate."
