All Change on 13 November!
The rules on waste are changing in Harrow – from 13 November only residents of Harrow borough will be allowed to use the Council tip, located at Forward Drive, Kenton.
Harrow Council is making the change to reduce queues and cut costs for Harrow taxpayers. Almost 30% of visitors to the tip are thought to come from outside the borough – after some other councils in West London shut their recycling centres to non-residents.
Cllr Graham Henson, Harrow Council portfolio holder for environment, said:
“With one stroke, we’re slashing the queues at the waste recycling centre and saving huge amounts of money. I’m fed up with people from all over the place bringing their waste to Harrow. My message to people from other boroughs is – we don’t want your rubbish!”
From 13 November, Harrow residents will need to bring their driving licence with them to the recycling centre as proof of address. If they don’t have a driving licence, then proof of residence such as council tax bill, utility bill, bank statement and photo ID will do.
A reminder that the Harrow Half Marathon will be racing through Pinner tomorrow morning.
Road closures will be in place between 9:30 & 12:00 arround Pinner.

Last Saturday Nick Hurd MP opened the Pinner Village Show organised by Pinner Rotary Club.
Part of his duties was to present prizes to the winners of the school art competition. The winner’s design will be on the cover of next year’s Pinner Village Show Programme.
Well done to Pinner Rotary Club for organising such a wonderful show and for everyone who managed to dodge the rain showers.

I have had confirmation from Harrow Council that the tree being removed tomorrow is the Ash tree next to 41 Elm Park Road.
There is major dieback throughout the canopy, unfortunately to the extent that crown reduction would not be of benefit.
“The order shall be cited as The Harrow (Elm Park Road) Temporary Traffic Order 2017, and would be operational on 31st August 2017 and would remain in effect until 30th October 2017 or until the completion of the works, whichever is the sooner. It is anticipated that all of the work should be complete by 31st August 2017.”
