We have received the following notification from Harrow Council.

“This is to notify you that Waxwell Lane car park is being hired as a filming unit base on Thursday 5^th July and Friday 6^th July 2018.  A commercial is being filmed in a quiet cul-de-sac in Pinner.

We have agreed that a row of bays in the car park will be made available to permit holders and disabled car users.  The film company have also agreed to release bays if they are not in use.

We do apologise for the inconvenience and we would advise members of the public to utilise the Chapel Lane car park as an alternative parking option.

Please do contact me should you wish to discuss, I’m happy to help.

Kind regards

The second public consultation on the council’s proposed additional development at the Grove Estate was held on 26^th June.  The information boards on display at that consultation are:

Grove Estate 2018 June Consultation Boards (6MB)

These are still proposals being worked up by “Homes for Harrow” and no planning application(s) for any of these new buildings have yet been submitted to Harrow Council’s Planning Department. 

The proposal is to build on three sites within the boundary of the current estate:

 South Site – behind Cannon Lane and Hereford Gardens – site currently trees:   Three Storey Townhouses – 3 x 4B/6P Townhouse – 4 x 3B/6P Townhouse – Total = 7 Dwellings

East Site – very close to the fenced boundary with Pinner Village Gardens – will be clearly on view from the park:    Four to Six Storey Flat Block – 9 x 1B/2P Flat – 1 x 2B/3P Flat – 4 x 2B/4P Flat – 5 x 3B/4P Flat – Total = 19 Dwellings

North Site – facing onto Grove Avenue – site currently grass / shrubs:  Bungalows – 3 x 1B/2P Bungalow – Total = 3 Units

We will post more information as it becomes available or if any planning application(s) are submitted for these proposed developments.

 

Yes, I know that it is hot and the only thing that you want to do is relax in the shade.

Have you thought of running a half Marathon? 

The Harrow Half Marathon organised for its second year by Harrow AC is taking place on Sunday 16th September 2018.  

The turning point for this is going to be the top of the High Street in Pinner … where we are likely to have a water station.  

If you are interested visit http://harrowhalfmarathon.co.uk

 

Traffic Lights will be in operation between 25 – 29 June near the entrance to Little Common.  This is so that essential gas works can be carried out.

The residents of 12 Haywood Close would like to send a Big thank you to every one who attended their recent Open Garden Day.

They had 234 visitors in 3 hours and raised a total of £1682 for the various charities that the NGS support, this included £350 from plant sales for Breast Cancer now.

Additional car parks can be found in Chapel Lane, Love Lane and Waxwell Lane. These are all pay and display Car parks.

I have spoken to the organisers. The Majors of Harrow, Hillingdon will be there as well as other dignitaries.

They look forward to welcoming you.

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.
