Flower Boxes Replanted – Summer comes to Pinner
Have you noticed that the Flower Boxes on the street railings around Pinner, Pinner Green and Cannon Lane have been planted up for the summer? Harrow Council staff do the gardening, but the Northwood & District Business Club organise local businesses and societies to sponsor the annual cost of providing these attractive additions to the street scene. The Pinner Association are pleased to be able sponsor eight of these flowers boxes every year.
Following a request from The Pinner Association, Harrow Council have also kindly planted up the split wall at the Pinner High Street War Memorial, and this is looking very pretty with dainty multi-coloured petunias and pelargoniums flowering in the June sunshine.
Donation to Harrow Foodbank.
I
f you have ever wondered how the monies collected by Pinner Association are spent. This is just one of the things we get involved in.
How many people reading this are aware that there are 2000 food banks in the UK and that this year alone they have handed out more than one million food parcels to those in need? If you have seen the Ken Loach film “I, Daniel Blake” you may have some insight into the problems of the homeless and the hungry.
Sadly, in the London Borough of Harrow, Harrow Foodbank, seeded by the Trussell Trust, is running three centres for the distribution of food.
The Pinner Association, acutely aware of its role within the charitable sector, is about to make a donation of £1000 to Harrow Foodbank. Donations are sorely needed from community associations and the general public as there are very few if any large corporate donors in the Borough.
The Pinner Association is proud to be of help in this way and hopes that other organisations will be keen to follow its example.

Pinner Fair 2017
On Wednesday 31st May 2017 Pinner again hosted one of the oldest street fairs in the country. Roads were shut and buses diverted from the evening before to accommodate the many colourful fairground attractions that made up the 682nd Pinner Fair.
There were large rides and attractions all along Bridge Street, in the upper High Street and part of Marsh Road. People from all over the area were in Pinner and were having a great time.
The cloudy weather did not keep the crowds away. Some intrepid fair-goers braved the heights and must have had a great view!
The dodgem cars in Marsh Road displayed the style of driving of that hopefully we do not usually see in that road.
Pinner Fair is organised by the Showmen’s Guild in liaison with Harrow Council, to which they pay a large fee to cover the road closures, removal and replacement of street furniture and the street cleaning after the Fair has been packed away on Wednesday evening. It is amazing that all the huge rides and attractions are folded up and driven off overnight, leaving Pinner to become the quiet suburb that we all love for another year.
Pinner certainly would not be the same place without its annual Fair.

Flower Boxes
You may have noticed that all of the flower boxes around Pinner are looking totally devoid of flowers at the moment.
We have been informed that shortly after Pinner Fair these will be replanted.
