Update on Bridge Street Gardens, Bridge Repair
I was speaking to Graham who is the gentleman currently repairing the bridge in Bridge Street Gardens.
Assuming that he doesn’t have to deal with other emergency repairs; he hops to have the Bridge & fencing repaired next week.
I was very lucky to be able to take a rare photograph on the bridge.

Well done to all of the organising team that made this happened. It was great to see so many people turn out and support the event.

Midsummer D’Lights Community Event – Friday 21st June 2024
Dear Watch Member,
This Friday, 21st June between 5pm – 9pm, a new community event is taking place in Pinner. Organised and presented by Pinner Business Club, Midsummer D’Lights is an evening street party event being held to promote independent businesses in Bridge Street, Pinner.
Whilst watching and listening to the live music and dance acts performing throughout the evening, you can enjoy locally made food and drink available from the many food stalls and cafes staying open until late in the evening.
Please come down to show your support to local businesses whilst enjoying the atmosphere and festivities on what will be a beautifully warm summer’s evening.
You will also have the opportunity to chat to officers from the respective Pinner and Pinner South Safer Neighbourhood Teams about any local concerns you may have regarding anti-social behaviour and crime in the area. The Pinner Association will also be there so do pop along to chat to them.

Protect Yourself from Holiday Fraud
Dear Watch Member,
This year hasn’t brought us the best weather so far. So you can’t be blamed for wanting to escape to somewhere warmer. And finding a bargain makes booking a holiday even sweeter.
Unfortunately, criminals want to sell you fake holidays. They’ll use genuine selling sites and social media to advertise. They create fake ads to trick you into sharing your details or sending money. From a caravan on the coast, to an all-inclusive trip abroad, they’ll try to trick you no matter where you want to go. But you can make a few checks to reduce your risk of getting scammed.
- Carry out thorough checks before you pay. Look at reviews online. Research any privately advertised holidays carefully. Check that any travel agents or tour operators you’re dealing with belong to a reputable trade association.
- Is there an alternative payment method? Where you can, pay using a debit or credit card. This could offer more protection if you need to dispute the goods or services.
- Consider if you’re willing to take the risk. If you can’t be sure it’s genuine, think about whether you can afford to lose the money.
For straightforward impartial advice to protect yourself from becoming a victim of fraud, please visit the Take Five website.

Pinner midsummer d’lights evening Friday 21 June – Can you help?
Pinner Business Club need volunteers to Stewards between 4pm and 10pm, with the actual event programme running 5pm-9pm.
Interested Contact [email protected]
Stewards will be needed between 4pm and 10pm, with the actual event programme running 5pm-9pm. Types of stewarding roles needed are:
-
- Helping with set-up 4pm-5pm
- Pavement patrols and general visitor support and advice along both sides of Bridge Street between 5pm and 9.30pm as people disperse
- Traffic points support – zebra crossings in Bridge Street and generally managing pedestrians at the road junctions of Waxwell Lane, Love Land and Chapel Lane.
- Helping with clear-up after 9pm
- Plus of course singing and dancing along to the bands!
Please email [email protected] to let them know what you would like to be assigned to and what sort of timings would suit you. It is fine also to suggest two different time slots over the period if you want to go off and have something to eat and come back refreshed for another stint. We will accommodate whatever everyone can manage! This is very much a trial event as having a musical street party like this has not been done in this way before, and it is a really important opportunity to highlight Pinner’s businesses and attract more visitors not just for one event but for the long term.
