The Pinner Association
– The Voice of our Community
On 1 March 2024, Harrow Council’s new PSPO’s come into force.
If you wish to look at the interactive map on how it affects the different public space, then click here.
We understand that there will be a ‘dedicated bird-feeding area’ in Pinner Memorial Park (PMP) for duck feeders later this year.
Below is a summary of some of the new powers and what is prohibited.
Dear Watch Member,
This Friday, 16th February, in partnership with Harrow Litter Pickers and staff of Sainsbury’s, Pinner, we will be conducting a litter-pick and Violence Against Women and Girls Walk and Talk in Sainsbury’s car park. 1pm to 2:30pm.
This is a location where women tell us they feel anxious and unsafe, partly because of the car park’s neglected appearance.
Aside from the environmental, physical and mental health benefits of litter-picking, an event like this is a great opportunity to meet new like-minded people who share a passion for making Pinner and Harrow a cleaner and safer place for everyone.
If you want to participate, meet us outside the entrance of Sainsbury’s, or find us in the car park itself from 1pm onwards.

Dear Watch Member,
Parcel theft is an everyday, all year-round crime that often goes unreported.
In the lead-up to Christmas, parcels may contain more expensive items than usual.
Which is great news for the opportunist thief who sees an uncollected delivery on a doorstep whilst walking down the street.
Or the thief that follows a delivery van and watches where the delivery is left before purloining it for themselves.
Here are some things you can do to reduce the risk of your parcel being stolen:
• track your parcel to ensure you or someone else is at home for the delivery
• install a video doorbell; this can be connected to your mobile so you are notified immediately of any delivery, and is easier to install than a full CCTV system
• install a security light
• arrange for your parcel to be delivered to a trusted neighbour, or other family members who will be at home; if you live in a flat, is there a concierge who could accept the parcel for you?
• use an off-site locker service for frequent deliveries, or for expensive items; these parcel boxes are more likely to be in busy, safer locations – such as supermarkets – rather than secluded areas which could be targeted by thieves
Remember, this crime prevention advice is for life, not just for Christmas.

We have had a list of trees and their locations due to be planted this winter by Harrow Council.
Here are a selection of Photos taken by Anup Parmar of The Filming Unit.
For those of you that missed the Pinner Association Diwali celebrations, I had a few issues loading the video up on to our website.
Thanks must go to Anup Parmar of The Filming Unit for producing the video for us.
Dear Resident,
The Metropolitan Police Service has again partnered with the Childhood Trust to raise money to provide toys and gifts for children living in poverty in London. Last year we were able to raise over £87,000 through small and large contributions from the public, and are looking to match that this year, with your help!
Many thanks to those who have already supported this Met Christmas tree appeal already, and for those who would like to get involved please find attached a note that goes to highlight how contributions can be made.
The document also explains about the charity we are working with.
This year the MPS has struggled to gain significant corporate sponsorship and we are getting close to the point where some difficult decisions may have to be made, if we don’t raise enough in donations. we really want every child to wake up on Christmas morning in London with a present, as no child should have to wake up feeling uncared for due to poverty or vulnerability on this day.
Any donations given are very much appreciated. Merry Christmas, and happy holidays!
Kind regards,
Harrow Council and TfL are consulting on proposals for changes to the cycling route between Harrow-on-the-Hill Station and Pinner Station which would involve alterations to the carriageway and parking in Marsh Road.
The section in central Pinner would seek to create “clear continuous cycle tracks from the proposed 20mph zone in Cecil Park to Station Approach, new public realm scheme outside Jubilee Parade, new or revised parallel zebra crossing across Marsh Road and Station Approach, and renewed and improved pavements, rain garden and other greening“.
Further information and the link to the consultation survey may be found here: https://talk.harrow.gov.uk/harrow-to-pinner-cycleway
The consultation deadline is 23:59 on 11th December 2023. Everyone with a view on these proposals is encouraged to participate in the consultation so as the opinions of as many Pinner residents as possible are heard.
The cost of this project if enacted would be provided by ringfenced funding from TfL.
Let’s ride are organising a trial run of the proposed new cycleway. Fancy joining them?
Wednesday 29th November 2023 9:30am
Starting from – At the bottom of Station Approach, Pinner on the pavement, HA5 5LX
This Breeze Harrow ride is open for anyone to join
