Today at our first Concert in the Park. Harrow Steel transported the audience to Jamaica. For once the weather obliqued as it was dry, sunny and the temperature up to 28C.
Next week we have Simply Gray playing at 2:30pm at Pinner Memorial Park 4 August 2024.
Bring a picnic and a chair.
There will be a cash collection to help offset the cost of the concerts
Thanks to William Herd for allowing us to use his video.
It’s that time of year, the wait is over.

There will be a bucket collection to help off set the cost of the concerts.

Experts have revealed a rise in scams of QR code since self-ordering in restaurant became the norm during the pandemic.
People may think they are ordering a round of drinks/food but could actually be giving away their debit card information to fraudsters.
According to NordVPN around 77% of Brits use QR codes – but 72% do not check before scanning them. The security giant reported that over 3 million people have been directed to untrustworthy websites after using the QR code.
Worryingly, 1 in 6 (16%) fell prey to fraudsters and had their data stolen.
Here are a few tips to help you stay safe from scams:

Congratulations to the “Green Team” at Harrow Council and the Peace Garden Volunteers. Pinner Memorial Park is one of six green flag parks in Harrow to retain it’s flag.
The other parks who keep their Green Flag status are:-
The application for approval of the “Construction Logistics Plan” for the development of flats on a part of the Tesco Pinner Green car park (reference PL/1276/24) has been refused by the Local Planning Authority (London Borough of Harrow) for the following reason:
“The temporary access on Cuckoo Hill has not been agreed with the Highways Department and no visibility splays have been submitted showing safe entry and exit to and from the site. Therefore the submitted details have failed to demonstrate safe access to and from the site for construction traffic contrary to Policies DM1 and DM43 of the Harrow Development Management Policies Local Plan 2013 and Policies D14 and T7 of the London Plan (2021).”
