2009 Webletter 2 Late Spring

Congratulations to James Bond and the team at North Harrow Metropolitan Line station on winning the Customer Service Team of the Year at the London Transport Awards in March.
The award was voted for by the public, and North Harrow is the first station outside zone one to win. Well done!

The deferred planning application for the North Harrow Assembly Halls is in the news again. The applicants agent emailed the Environment Agency on Friday 17th April with amended proposals (not made public yet) regarding the Flood Risk Assessment. These are currently being considered by the Environment Agency's engineers.   The agent has also arranged to meet Harrow Council in early May. 

This case will be overseen by Steve Kelly who is taking over from Roger Pidgeon in Harrow Planning Department.

Harrow planning information and applications are no longer on the www.ukplanning.com website but on the useful though unwieldy new fully-online Planning System. Go to:
http://www.harrow.gov.uk/site/scripts/documents.php?categoryID=200074
and click Planning Search.
You can quick-search planning applications by street name, postcode, partial postcode.
Check the FAQs link for the Planning search guidance document.

Where have all the trees gone? MetroNet has caused anger to residents of Cambridge Road by cutting down all the trees (in preparation for stabilisation work) on the south bank of the Metropolitan Line from North Harrow station towards Pinner. While this work (to begin in July) may well be necessary for safety purposes, the clearance was begun without proper notice to residents who lose screening and privacy from the platforms and from trains.

Although Harrow remains one of the safest of the London boroughs, the economic downturn has also seen a rise in acquisitive crime in the area including doorstep crime.
The Metropolitan Police local Safer Neighbourhood teams (based at Churchill Court, near North Harrow station) hold regular drop-in surgeries: see the Links pages of this website.

Tesco has submitted several planning applications for developing the old Apollo pub site on Pinner Road.
