On 2 April the Leader of Harrow Council, David Perry, held a series of short meetings at West House to enable residents to express their views on matters of concern to them.
On this occasion there was a large gathering of people concerned with the future arrangements for the maintenance of the Memorial Park, which had been changed recently, resulting in protests from the many users of the park. He certainly received vociferous protests from the many people assembled in West House and had to retreat to a quieter venue, the Shrine Room, in order for him to conduct the meetings in suitable surroundings.
