Area Leaders Wanted!

The Pinner Association is in need of a new Area Leader, the link between our many Collectors and our Membership Secretary. As there are too many Collectors for one person to handle, Pinner is divided into five areas.

Not only is it an essential task – without the Area Leaders The Villager could not be delivered – but it is also an interesting task, and I can vouch for this, as I was one once. I got to know many local people, whom I may not otherwise have met, all of whom, are of course, most charming or they would not have volunteered to be Collectors in the first place!

If you are already a Collector you will be aware of your Area Leader’s existence because of the thrice-yearly visits with the magazines and the wherewithal to collect the subs. Why not move up the hierarchy and become an Area Leader?

His or her duties involve delivering the Villager magazine three times a year to the Collectors, ensuring that all the subs are eventually collected and keeping a record of the subs, which the Collectors will have paid into the Bank. (You do not have to handle the money.) Having a computer is an advantage. Also a car is really essential as distributing several hundred Villagers can be a weighty task. That said, one Area leader has trained her Collectors to collect their Villagers from her!

Volunteers should form an orderly queue outside Jill Cock’s house at any time, but possibly phoning 8868 5795 or emailing [email protected] might be easier.

 

Waxwell Lane Car Park


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 5th July and Friday 6th 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.

Grove Estate Development – Consultation

The second public consultation on the council’s proposed additional development at the Grove Estate was held on 26th 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.

 

Harrow Half Marathon

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.
