WHY DO OVER 3,500 PINNER RESIDENTS BELONG TO
THE PINNER ASSOCIATION?
The Association in the past has:-
- In the 1940s, raised money through local donations to purchase Pinner Memorial Park for the benefit of the community as a War Memorial.
- In the 1960s, stopped a proposed high-rise development in the High Street.
