Do you recommend any changes to the proposed LIP3 objectives? We agree with the broad intent of the objectives to improve people's health, increase walking and cycling and reduce car use. We recommend strengthening the objectives as follows: Objective 1: We recommend that ‘healthy streets and liveable neighbourhoods’ are defined ​ more clearly. The text should specify low levels of traffic on minor roads, segregated cycling facilities on major roads, and safe, convenient pedestrian crossings. Replace the word ‘encourage’ with ‘enable’. Objective 2: Improving cycling safety should also be included in this objective, as Harrow has ​ the second highest rate of cycling casualties in London

The purpose of the Parochial Church Council (PCC) is to cooperate with the Vicar of S t Andrew's in promoting in the parish the whole mission of the Church: pastoral, evangelical, social and ecumenical. It is a body corporate with perpetual succession and is a registered charity (NO 1131727 - The Parochial Church Council of the Ecclesiastical Parish of S t Andrew Roxbourne Harrow .) Its members are the trustees and are elected by members of the church who are registered on the parish's Electoral Roll. The Roll is normally re-created every six years (as it was in 2007) and in other years revised, prior to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM.) 2. At the time of the APCM, March 2012, there were 131 members on the Electoral Roll, of whom 85 were resident within the parish, and 46 were living outside the parish. Aggregating the attendances at the 8.00am and 9.45am services for each of the four Sundays, the average weekly attendance in October 2012 was 94, while Easter and Christmas communicants were, respectively, 93 and 157.
