The Mayor of Harrow, Cllr Ghazanfar Ali, will be at the top of Pinner High Street at 4.45pm on Thursday 25th November to officially turn on the lights on the Pinner street Christmas trees. The Pinner Association will be providing both of Christmas trees, at the top of the High Street and at the top of Bridge Street, again this year and we are very grateful that the Mayor will be coming to turn on their lights in a short ceremony which anyone in Pinner is very welcome to attend.

There is no “Panto Evening” being held in Pinner this year, so there will be no entertainments, attractions or other stalls in either the High Street or Bridge Street on the evening of the 25th November.

A BIG thank you to Caroline and Geoffrey who had to jump through many hoops to organise this.

To our members, we are sorry that The Villager magazine is delayed this month. We have had a few technical issues getting this edition out.

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.

On Wednesday 27th October 2021 the Mayor of Harrow, Cllr Ghazanfar Ali, laid a poppy wreath at the Dove of Peace War Memorial in the Peace Garden in Pinner Memorial Park in memory of all those who have fallen serving their country or as a result of conflict.

The Dove of Peace was designed in 1995 by pupils of Nower Hill School for the Peace Garden which was created in that year to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the end of WWII.  It is an officially registered war memorial:  https://www.iwm.org.uk/memorials/item/memorial/11098

The Peace Garden is an area for quiet contemplation within Pinner Memorial Park, which itself was purchased for the community by public subscription as an enduring war memorial and amenity for Pinner at the end of WWII.

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.

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.
