Barnet Council is providing free skips for Jewish residents to use over the Passover festival.

Before Passover, Jews must empty their homes of chometz any food products containing yeast for the duration of the festival, which runs from April 17-24.

Skips will be placed at 13 locations in the borough from 8am on Monday to noon on Wednesday.

The skips will be situated in Dunstan Road, The Ridgeway, Princes Park Avenue, Bridge Lane and Highfield Avenue in Golders Green; Wykeham Road, Shirehall Park and Bell Lane in Hendon; Purcells Avenue, Farm Road and Broadfields Avenue (x2) in Edgware; and outside College Farm in Regents Park Road, Finchley.
