Test and Trace Scam Warning
Dear Watch Member,
We are warning residents to be aware that scammers are posing as NHS Test and Trace contact workers.
The new Test and Trace system is being rolled out across the country, meaning contact tracers are now getting in touch with those who have had recent close contact with people who have had a positive COVID-19 test.
However, it is important that people are aware that fraudsters are trying to take advantage of this process by posing as contact tracers and gathering personal information by deception.
Contact tracers will never:

A message from Harrow Council – Good News.
The recycling centre goes back to normal from Monday 15 June – but still has some temporary measures.
It will no longer be by postcode but you must follow social distancing guidelines. We expect long waiting times – but plan ahead and check the queues online.
Consider whether coming to the tip is essential, and whether your visit can wait a few days.
✅Valid Photo ID (drivers licence) and proof of address required. Harrow residents only
✅ Opening hours go back to 8.30am to 4.30pm. One visit per day.
✅ Sort your waste and use the right bays
✅ Only 6 bays will be open to allow you to dispose waste
Beat the queues by coming at quieter times (usually late afternoons) or if you only have a few items save them for later in the week or the following week.
Only cars will be allowed in on the upper level.
⛔️ No trade waste, white goods or bulky waste will be accepted at present. This will be reviewed again in a fortnight.
First of all a BIG thank you to everyone who volunteered to help others during the lock-down. It’s wonderful to see everyone helping each other.
When you look back will you think; this is something that I want to continue doing?
If the answer is yes, then maybe you can help us.
The Pinner Association is looking for people to help us.

Thank you for your understanding.
A new telephone scam is coming to light …. callers contact residents saying they are from the NHS Track & Trace service telling the resident that they have been in contact with someone suffering from COVID-19 and need to have a test sent out to them.
This is swiftly followed with a request for the resident’s bank details; the caller stating the test & results cost £500. Please do not fall for this scam. If you need a test sent out to you because you are unable to attend a test site, this is done for free, both via delivery & collection, followed up by the result.

The NHS Test and Trace service will NOT:
Both these businesses might be closed under the current COVID-19 restrictions but this hasn’t stopped them ensuring that the High Street is in bloom.
Sean White, Landlord of the Queens Head, has kindly taken the horse trough, previously planted up by a Pinner Association volunteer, under his wings and has had it planted up to complement the hanging baskets on the front of his historic pub in the High Street. Sean has managed to connect the horse trough to the automatic watering system for the hanging baskets, so we can expect a wonderfully colourful display all summer whatever the weather.
Fridolin’s has also had their hanging baskets, window boxes and tubs replanted, making the front of this Listed building even more attractive for all.
