We have instructed Hallmark to close as they are a non-essential business and were not granted permission to reopen.
Card Factory will be told the same if they too reopen, unless government requirements say otherwise. https://t.co/0DMW4fagDP

Good News. We have been informed that the paid garden waste collections are due to restart week commencing 11 May 20. There will be a refund of £9 (not certain if that is per bin or household)
The council are currently working on a plan to open the recycling depot – exact date unknown.
Weekly Round up
As we enter our eigth week of lockdown, here is a summary of what has been happening.
Whilst we may not be holding committee meetings due to the current situation, committee members are busy looking at all of the planning applications being submitted and answering emails/phone calls to do with this area. It’s a case of out of sight but not out of action.
The new answer to “how are you” when shouted across the street is “I’m surviving”
For those worried about shopping in busy supermarkets don’t forget you can Google the shop and get an indication of how busy they are.
On a business front.
Camillia’s lingerie might be closed but they are still operating on-line
Jafvans have reopened their Harrow office. Their hours are Monday, Wednesday & Friday 9am to 2pm. Having spoken to them, their hours might expand depending on demand.
We understand that Ideal Fish Bar will be re-opening its doors on Thursday 7 May – watch this space as we obtain more information.
If there are other local shops that are open that we might have missed from our page or shops that have changed their opening hours; please let us know by emailing [email protected]
We might be staying home but our appreiciation can still be seen.
Dear Watch Member,
As the weather starts to become warmer (although not in May according to the weather forecasts!), people confined to home are spending a lot of time in their gardens using gardening tools and leisure equipment, which are often left out or stored in outbuildings.
Burglars tend to target sheds, garages and outbuildings at this time of year looking for valuable power tools, bikes and other expensive items.
We recommend that everyone takes some basic security measures to make sure their gardens and outbuildings are secure. Leaving tools and gardening equipment lying around in your garden can attract thieves, as they are valuable and could also be used to break into your home.
Locking tools away in a shed or garage when you are not using them and making outbuildings as secure as possible, with strong locks or even an alarmed padlock, will help keep your property safe. Dusk till dawn security lights in your garden will make your home even safer, along with locking windows, doors and garden gates and making sure your fences are in a good condition.

While we settled down to the inevitable of the lock down being extended, and resigned ourselves to a necessary evil of limiting our freedom. We have a change of leader at the helm of The Pinner Association.
Christine Wallace who has been chairman for the past three years has stepped down having completed her term of office. We would like to thank Christine for her stewardship of The Pinner Association, a task she has undertaken with a great sense of responsibility to do our best to maintain and enhance the amenity of all in Pinner. As Chairman of the Association she has taken a particular interest in planning matters and the upkeep of parks, open spaces and allotments. Christine is to continue to cover “Planning” and “Environment” for the Association as a Committee Member. She will also continue to be our representative on Harrow Council’s Conservation Areas Advisory Committee.
Due to the fact our AGM was postponed, Julie Waller has agreed to be Acting-Chair until such times as we can safely hold our AGM.
