Some of the committee members had a meeting with Harrow Council regarding the closure of Waxwell Lane Car Park and its subsequent development. Attached are the notes from that meeting.
Filming High Street, Pinner: Friday 8th February 2019 8 am – 1 pm
A Message from Harrow Film Office.
On February 8 filming will take place on the High Street, Pinner between 8 am and 1 pm. A film crew will be filming an actor walking down the High Street towards Bridge Street with extras in the background gesturing towards him in the promotion of a well-known restaurant brand.
In the interests of safety and to facilitate the filming, the Council have approved the use of Traffic Diversions during the filming period to prevent cars from travelling along the High Street. Diversionary route signage will be in place to divert traffic around the High Street for the holding duration time periods.
Stop / Go points will be positioned at the following locations; at the junction of Bridge Street and the High Street and further up on the High Street just before Grange Gardens. The film crew have been authorised to hold traffic for a maximum of 2 minutes only between 8 am – 1 pm to allow the filming sequences to take place. Compliance with the 2 minute holds will be closely monitored by a member of Harrow Council’s Highways department.
Under Traffic Order, all bays along the High Street have been suspended between the hours of 00:01 and 13:00 on the 8 February. As an alternative the public are advised to use the pay and display car park at Chapel Lane. To reduce the inconvenience the film company have agreed to support any disabled car user wishing to use the disabled bays along the High Street and filming marshals will be available in the morning to support this. Any planned deliveries to businesses along the High Street are being coordinated by the Location Manager in order to avoid disruption to business.
In the afternoon the film crew will be filming within the confines of a barber shop along Bridge Street and four bays will be suspended in the afternoon directly outside the property. There will be no disruption to traffic during this sequence. Finally, the Council have agreed use of Waxwell Lane car park as a filming vehicle compound all day on Friday 8 February and so the majority of the car park will not be available for public use. However, a row of 12 bays will be available for permit holders and disabled car users.
We do apologise in advance for any inconvenience this may cause you.
Kind regards
Harrow Film Office

We have received an email from the River Pinn project team.
“Dear All
We are pleased to announce that we have updated our dedicated webpage for the River Pinn project. Our webpage launched in October 2018 and instead of sending briefing notes via email every quarter we will be updating the information contained on this page:
Home Security Advice
A message from PCSO Lee O’Brien.
“Unfortunately, since the start of 2019 the Pinner area has suffered from a spate of burglaries. It is therefore important to be vigilant and assess your home’s security vulnerabilities.
Some of the main security measures we recommend are:
1. An intruder alarm system installed by an NSI or SSAIB affiliated company is an excellent deterrent. Most burglaries occur at the rear, so have an additional active alarm bell box fitted at the rear, as well as the front, to deter intruders approaching from neighbouring gardens or alleyways.
2. Most UPVC and aluminium doors have multi-locking handles. If you have one of these doors, it is vital that you lift the handle and lock it with a key. If you don’t have a multi-locking handle, surface mounted key operated locks can be fitted to the top and bottom. Wooden doors should have British Standard 5-lever mortice locks. A front door should also have an automatic deadlocking rim latch and a back door should have two mortice rack bolts, fitted to the top and bottom.
3. Side and rear boundaries should be a minimum of 1.8 metres in height. An additional diamond-style trellis topping is difficult to climb and provides a framework for spiky, defensive planting, such as climbing roses. Side gates should be level with the front building line, secure and the same height as the side and rear boundaries.
4. Low front boundaries should not exceed 1 metre in height, to allow natural surveillance and increase the chances of a burglar being seen.
5. A safe, fixed to a solid floor and/or wall will prevent valuables and sentimental items being stolen. Property marking and photographing valuables assists police to return stolen property. Timers or smart technology linked to lights and a radio will give the impression that somebody is at home.
6. Burglars often knock or ring at the door to see if a property is unoccupied before gaining entry to it, so if you think you hear someone at your door, please respond to it.
7. Consider purchasing a smart audio and visual doorbell such as ring.com, which provides CCTV coverage of your driveway / street and allows you to answer your door remotely.”
Attempted Car Theft – Pinner Area
We have received an email from the Safer Neighbourhood Team.
“Over the weekend of the 19th / 20th January we received reports of two failed attempts to steal a Land Rover / Range Rover from driveways in the Pinner area.
These and other high-value vehicles are often targeted by organised criminals who ship the vehicles abroad, never to be seen again.
It is therefore of the utmost importance to take the below proactive security measures to prevent the theft of your vehicle.
- Thieves are using sophisticated methods to steal vehicles with electronic keys – a scanner is used to locate the signal from the key. To prevent this, always keep the electronic key in a security pouch when not in use.
- Keys and ignition fobs should kept safe and out of sight and reach – the most common ways to steal a car or van is to take the keys or ignition fob, either when left in the vehicle or from your home through burglary. Try not to keep your keys in an obvious place such as the hallway or kitchen.
- Set the steering wheel lock if your vehicle is fitted with one. If not, use a bar type steering lock each time you leave your vehicle.
- Also consider using a gear stick lock.
No matter how many wheels your mode of transport has, you can get further vehicle theft prevention advice via this link: https://www.met.police.uk/cp/crime-prevention/theft-of-a-vehicle/.”
Waxwell Lane Car Park – Restricted Use Jan 2019
On Tuesday 22 January from 18:00 until Wednesday 23 January 18:00, only two disabled bays and 12 normal bays will be available for Parking.
This is because the rest of the car park is being used as a Filming Compound.
