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.

HARROW PUBLIC TRANSPORT USERS ASSN.
(The official Passengers Committee for L.B. of Harrow)

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.

Pinner Panto Evening held on Thursday 24^th November was a great success with crowds of people filling the whole of Pinner’s shopping areas.  The Mayor of Harrow, Cllr. Rekha Shah, officially lit the Christmas lights on the two street Christmas Trees (sponsored by The Pinner Association) at 5pm, and the Bridge Street Christmas lights (sponsored by The Pinner Association) and the new High Street light decorations (sponsored by the Pinner Ward Councillors) all created a festive scene.

The school and youth group choirs and dancers, and the Merrydowners Morris, provided street entertainment, and there were many fairground rides for children of all ages.  The finale was a spectacular Fireworks Display in Pinner Memorial Park.   We wish to thank the Pinner & Northwood Business Club and all the Pinner businesses who sponsored this wonderful community event.

The Pinner Association were pleased to sponsor the Traders’ Fancy Dress Competition at Pinner Panto Evening 2016.  The standard of the costumes chosen by the many Pinner shops and businesses who took part was even better than ever and the Mayor of Harrow had a very difficult task to choose the winners.

The three “Winners” prizes of £75 sponsored by The Pinner Association were awarded to:

Pink and Rose – Bridge Street:

Andrew Pearce – Chapel Lane:

Visage – High Street:

 

Highly Commended Certificates were awarded to:
Friends, Pizza Express, Groomerz, Gibbs Gillespie, Dri Blow Dry Bar, Earth White and Robsons.

We wish to thank Cllr Rehka Shah, the Mayor of Harrow, who walked all around Pinner four times during the day, judging the decorated windows and Traders’ Fancy Dress competitions in addition to speaking with hundreds of people during the evening and having hundreds of photo’s taken.  Her warmth and delight in everything she saw and everyone she met did much to make the evening special.

 

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.
