Pinner’s Act of Remembrance
Happy Diwali.
The eagled eyed amongst you might have noticed on the 2 November that the festive lights were on in Pinner. If you are wondering why!
We thought this year it would be good idea to have then up and switched on for the start of Diwali.
May we wish you a Happy Diwali.
The lights are planned to stay up until the 5 January 2022.

New Stream in Pinner Memorial Park
We are very aware of the new stream in PMP originating from a man hole cover. We have been in touch with Harrow Council and one of our local Councillors.
This week a site visit was undertaken by staff of Harrow Council to ascertain what remedial action needs to be taken.
Dove Of Peace – Peace Gardens, Pinner Memorial Park.
This morning, new chippings were put on the Dove of Peace, this afternoon they were scattered.
Parents, could you please ensure that your youngsters don’t play on it and remove the chippings.
Thank you for your understanding.
WHY?
This is in readiness for the Mayor of Harrow lays a poppy wreath at the Dove of Peace in the lead up to Remembrance Sunday as a mark of respect to all those that have fallen in conflicts around the world.
It is on the official war memorial register.
London In Bloom – Pinner Station
This year for the first time ever, Pinner Underground Station gardens were entered into the London in Bloom Competition.
Since 2017, gradual progress has been made cutting back overgrown plants and shrubs, such as the lavender. Those of you that have been regular commuters might have spotted the changes.
One of the volunteers attended a zoom award event earlier this month. We have been awarded with a Level 2 award. Well done & thank you to the volunteers that give up their spare time, it’s appreciated.
