Pinner Tube Station – Did you know?

 

 

 

 

Did you know that we have volunteers that help maintain the gardens at Pinner Tube Station?

 

 

 

In their own words:-

Since taking over doing the donkey work last year, and in consultation with TfL they have been involved in some heavier work:-

  • reducing the height of shrubbery to provide clear camera site lines; 
  • ensuring the PINNER signs were not obscured;
  • cutting back foliage so that it did not go too far beyond the garden boundaries to provide a trip hazard;
  • clearing overgrown foliage to expose “buried” treasures

and some more pleasant work:-

  • moving plants to positions where they would be better appreciated;
  • planting new plants to replace fatalities;
  • planting bulbs (some of which are showing now).

In my discussions with Donal, I also agreed a longer term strategy:-

  • move “prickly” plants to the back of the border and softer plants to the front;
  • increase the number of fragrant plants (it seems the passengers love the lavender, but most of this is tired and dying)
  • aim to create a low maintenance border (replace rampant shrubbery with more restrained plants).

Thank you to the volunteers that help make Pinner a more pleasant place.

 

Eid in The Park

Eid in The Park is being held in Pinner Memorial Park either on the 15th or 16th June.  This is to celebrate the end of Ramadan.

From the information passed to us by Harrow Council who have granted permission for the park to be used:

  • The expected attendance is 400 people.
  • A large marquee will be erected on the 13th and will be marshalled overnight by accredited security officers.
  • A PA system will be used for approximately 1 hour for the prayers. The event will run for approx. 3 hours in total.

Pinner Fair 30th May 2018 – Traffic Restrictions and Diversions

Just a reminder that from about 15:00 on  29 May until about 8:00 on 31 May. The following buses will be diverted down West End Lane

183, H11, H12 & H13.

Vehicle traffic restrictions will also apply see below:

As I can’t find an official notice, I’m assuming that the following roads will be closed or have restricted access:

No access to vehicles

  • High Street
  • Bridge Street

Restricted Access

  • Love Lane
  • Waxwell Lane
  • Elm Park Road
  • Marsh Road
  • Chapel Lane
  • Station Approach
  • Paines Lane
  • Church Lane
  • Grange Gardens

If you are going to the fair, I would suggest that you use public transport or walk as parking will be restricted in the area. I haven’t been able to find out which car parks will be available.

 

Film Crew comes to Pinner

Waxwell Lane Car Park will be closed to the public next week as it is being used as a film compound.

The film is called ‘Blinded by the Light’ and is based on a book ‘Greetings from Bury Park’ written by Sarfraz Mansoor.

Waxwell Lane will also have buses shuttling the crew etc. to the location so expect more traffic.

You are being advised to park in Chapel Lane Car Park.

 

Mobile Friendly Website!

Good news. Having posted a selection of events on the new notice board in the High Street Gardens, I thought I should try and get our website mobile friendly so that you can check out “What’s on” from your mobile phone.

We now have a mobile friendly website.

If you find anything wrong – please email me on [email protected] or leave a comment. I will do my best to sort out the issue.

I know this works with Android phones as that is what I have tested it on.
