The Heath Robinson Museum in Pinner opened to critical acclaim in October. It has brought new heart to the community, is a “destination spot” and is fast becoming a creative hub for the surrounding area with lots of activities for children and adults.

The opening times over Christmas and New Year are as follows:

The Museum will open Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays until Christmas when the Museum is open on Thursday 22^nd and Friday 23rd December. A lot of people are making their way to the Museum to buy  Christmas presents and cards at the Museum Shop –  there is a 10% promotion on products in the Makers Art range. This coming weekend of 16^th to 18^th December is expected to be busy!

The Museum and shop will then be open the weekend of 6^th to 8^th January (the last chance to see the Heath Robinson at War exhibition) and then be closed for building and “snagging” work until 19^th January.  Some activity workshops will continue over this time – please look at the Heath Robinson website www.heathrobinsonmuseum.org for more information.

Following Monday’s consultation meeting below is a summary of the options that were up for discussion.

Yet again the option of keeping the Car Park as is, was not one of the options available.

We are delighted that Mayor Kahn has announced that Harrow-on-the-Hill Station is at last to have lifts installed. He says that work will commence in 2017. This is long overdue and very welcome.

HPTUA, HAD, Harrow Council, Local Councillors and MPs and the Council Officers have been lobbying for this for over 30 years.

When these lifts are installed, with all Bus Routes from Harrow Bus Station being fully accessible, it will mean many more journeys will be possible for disabled and less-able-bodied passengers.

There is emergency work being carried out due to a burst water main. Traffic Lights are in operation.

Just a reminder that the High Street will be closed tomorrow late afternoon/evening and there will be extra congestion on Bridge Street. If you are driving, I would suggest you try another route.

A band of rain followed by heavy showers is expected to pass over the Hertfordshire and North London area this afternoon and in to this evening. Some of these showers may be very heavy. In areas which receive the highest rainfall some localised flooding is possible, either from the rivers and or surface water flooding. The showers are expected to clear tomorrow morning. We will continue to monitor the situation.

Just a reminder that the Christmas Lights are due to be switched on by the Mayor at 5pm on Pinner Pantomime Night (24 Nov 16).

The Pinner Association bought new lights for the Christmas trees in the High Street and Bridge Street last year and these have created a much better display.

We also provide the decorative lighting in Bridge Street and have been aware for several years that it really needs improving.  However, the existing lampposts are old and can’t take anything more elaborate due to the increased wind loading that would arise.  Harrow Council is planning to replace the lampposts in Bridge Street next year and we then hope to be able to consider purchasing new and better lights.

In the meantime, Pinner Councillor Steve Wright has organised much more festive lighting in the High Street which we hope will be appreciated by all.
