The Pinner Association
– The Voice of our Community
Last Saturday Nick Hurd MP opened the Pinner Village Show organised by Pinner Rotary Club.
Part of his duties was to present prizes to the winners of the school art competition. The winner’s design will be on the cover of next year’s Pinner Village Show Programme.
Well done to Pinner Rotary Club for organising such a wonderful show and for everyone who managed to dodge the rain showers.

An 8,000 leaflet drop is taking place to the homes and businesses directly affected by the route. I got my leaflet yesterday. This will be backed top by an “Harrow Council My Harrow Email” and road signs will be going up in the coming week warning about road closures etc.

I have had confirmation from Harrow Council that the tree being removed tomorrow is the Ash tree next to 41 Elm Park Road.
There is major dieback throughout the canopy, unfortunately to the extent that crown reduction would not be of benefit.
“The order shall be cited as The Harrow (Elm Park Road) Temporary Traffic Order 2017, and would be operational on 31st August 2017 and would remain in effect until 30th October 2017 or until the completion of the works, whichever is the sooner. It is anticipated that all of the work should be complete by 31st August 2017.”
What does it take to put on a band concert! A final Word
• Planning
• Council Permission
• Volunteers, more volunteers.
o We had over 20 people turned up to help erect/dismantle the staging & marquee for each band concert.
o Over 15 stewards helped in the course of the season.
o Four Tea Ladies ensured that the band and stewards didn’t go hungry.
o A First Aider in attendance for every concert – luckily not needed.
• The Bands
• The audience – you raised over £1,900 for the West House & Heath Robinson Museum Trust – Thank You.
• Here are a few pictures of some of the people who make this such a wonderful community event. With the volunteers they show you are never too young to volunteer.
Dixie & Swing music wafted over Pinner Memorial Park this afternoon as the Stardust Big Band played out this seasons concerts.
These concerts would not be the success they are, if it wasn’t for all the volunteers that give up their time to help and of course the audience that turn up for this wonderful community event. I would like to thank everyone for making these concerts possible.
Rumour has it 
that it was the biggest every bucket collection for the West House & Heath Robinson Museum Trust, for that we thank the audience, (figures will following in a later post).
Harrow Council have issued a temporary road closure notice for Church Lane to enable the gas mains to be replaced.
This will be in operation from 21st August 8:00 until 30th December, although it is anticipated that the work will be finished by 30th November.
