Following a recent on line poll carried out last month, the following names were submitted to the Street Naming and Numbering Authority at Harrow Council.
Pinn Mews and Langham Mews were rejected by the authority. (The Royal Mail, emergency services and utility companies all get a say in the name.)
Pinnora Mews was approved. (Pinner was originally a hamlet, first recorded in 1231 as Pinnora, although the already archaic -ora (meaning ‘hill’) suggests its origins lie no later than circa 900.)
Last month, we had an email from someone about a post on a Facebook group about the festive lights still being on and that it was causing distress to a vulnerable person.
We were able to make direct contact with the family to ascertain the issue. We liaised with Harrow Council Street Lighting team to ensure that the festive lights would be switched off by 29 January at the latest.
The extremely grateful resident has made a donation of £250 on behalf of the Pinner Association to The Centre of ADHD and Autism Support as a gesture of their gratitude for our help and co-operation.

Dear Watch Member,
On Monday 18th January, between 5pm – 6pm, a series of four linked burglaries were committed; two attempted burglaries in Cannonbury Avenue and one burglary in East Towers and West Towers respectively.
Numerous burglaries involving the same modus operandi have recently occurred across the Hillingdon area.
The lone suspect uses a ladder, bin or drainpipe to access flat roofs before gaining entry to properties via a first-floor window.
Valuables such as jewellery and expensive designer items are typically stolen.
It is important to prevent access to your garden from every side, and ensure that ladders, bins and other items are secured away from your property, so they cannot be used to climb on.
Consider affixing perimeter edging or carpet gripper to the edge of flat surfaces, and apply anti-climb paint to drainpipes.
Ensure windows in unoccupied rooms are closed and locked, and do not leave valuables within sight or reach of windows and doors.
This link provides advice on further measures you can take to make your home safe.
You can also help build a safer street by encouraging your neighbours to sign up to OWL free at www.owl.co.uk.
Please remain vigilant and if you believe a crime is in progress, please call the emergency 999 number.
For matters that do not require immediate police attendance, please contact the non-emergency 101 number.
