Summer Band Concerts 2017

 

Yes, It’s nearly that time of year again!

After a year’s gap we are pleased to announce that Harrow Steel Orchestra will be kicking off the Annual Concerts in The Park.

 

Although there will be some chairs to rent, please feel free to bring your own and don’t forget your picnic. The concert will start at 2:30pm on 30 July.

Looking back through The Villager magazine, I believe that this is our 16th season. (Let me know if I’m wrong!)

 

PWS Update

 

We have spoken to Daniel Lester – Head of Communications for Harrow Council and been informed of the following:-

 

  • Work to fill in the chalk mine voids is nearing completion for the ‘bulk filling’ stage.
  • Next stage is to apply the ‘grouting’ to the holes.

The good news is that they are ahead of schedule.  The council is on target to have the school back on its site for the Spring Term.

A formal update from Harrow Council is expected towards the end of next week.

“I’d like to thank all volunteers and staff who have worked extremely hard to keep our parks and open spaces to a high standard so that they can be enjoyed and used by everyone.”

International Green Flag Award scheme manager Paul Todd added: “We are delighted to be celebrating another record-breaking year for the Green Flag Award scheme.
