  • Harrow Natural History Society 50Th Anniversary
    HARROW NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY 50TH ANNIVERSARY Miss Pollard who was the chief Librarian in Harrow founded the Harrow Natural History Society in 1970. The first venue for indoor meetings was Wealdstone Library in Grant Road. The Society studied two main areas – Harrow Weald Common and Bentley Priory Open Space. Nature Trails were laid out on both these sites and records of the wild life collected. Miss Pollard retired and left the area in December 1973, she had been Chairman of the Society. Alan Tinsey took over this role when she left. He had already produced the first journal using the knowledge of members many of whom were very familiar with the district. He went on to produce four more journals but by this time articles were getting hard to find and it was decided to produce a newsletter telling members about the work of the Society which would be sent out to members with their programmes. This newsletter was compiled by a separate committee and it continued afterwards. Alan and Geoff Corney who had been Secretary since the beginning, both retired at the AGM in 1979. Geoff had been very active in the work of the Society and felt he needed a rest. George Alexander became the new Chairman and Kevin Reidy became the new Secretary. Two further publications were under discussion about the local wild flowers and birds. Jack Phillips a very knowledgeable botanist suggested the Society should produce a simple guide to the wild flowers. Merle Marsden undertook to do this. She collected a small group of helpers and produced the first flower book.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The London Borough of Harrow is subject to riverine flooding from a number of watercourses, most notably the River Pinn and Wealdstone, Yeading and Edgware Brooks. The Borough also experiences pluvial, surface water and sewer flooding. In accordance with ‘Planning Policy Statement 25 (PPS25): Development and Flood Risk’, this Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) provides an assessment of all types of flood risk within the London Borough of Harrow to inform land use planning decisions. Specifically, it provides an overview of: • main sources of flooding; • potential flood risk in the Borough; • the predicted influences of climate change; • identification of options to mitigate the potential flood risk; • the potential flood risk at allocated sites within the Borough; and • relevant planning controls, appropriate sustainable design of developments and mitigation that will be sought in new development and in the retrofitting of existing buildings and extensions.

The ALGG SPG document is guidance that is supplementary to London Plan policies. While it does not have the same formal development plan status as these policies, it has been formally adopted by the Mayor as supplementary guidance under his powers under the Greater London Authority Act 1999 (as amended). Adoption followed a period of public consultation, and a summary of the comments received and the responses of the Mayor to those comments is available on the Greater London Authority website. It will therefore be a material consideration in drawing up development plan documents and in taking planning decisions.

It goes through picturesque woodland and pastures. The walking is generally easy over mostly level ground with a few longish slopes and some field edge, farmland and woodland path walking. The Loop reaches the highest point north of the Thames on Harrow Weald Common at 158m/518 feet. The highlights of this walk are Grim's Dyke (the mansion of W S Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan fame - now the Grim's Dyke Hotel), Bentley Priory with its World War II connections, and the Roman Watling Street. There are some stiles and many kissing gates. The sections more suitable for the less mobile and pushchairs include Bentley Priory Open Space, Grove Fields and Aldenham Country Park. Some parts across fields and in woodland are likely to be muddy. There is a café and public toilets at Aldenham Country Park and at Carpenders Park Garden Centre as well as pubs along the way. You can shorten the walk by underground from Stanmore or by bus where the route crosses Common Road or reaches The Common.

  • Harrow Council on the Proposed Warding Arrangements As Part of the Current Phase of Your Electoral Review of the Borough
    Legal & Governance Services Director – Hugh Peart Andrew Scallan Lead Commissioner The Local Government Boundary Commission For England 14th Floor Millbank Tower Millbank London SW1P 4QP 8 October 2018 Dear Mr Scallan, Electoral Review of London Borough of Harrow Please find enclosed the submission from Harrow Council on the proposed warding arrangements as part of the current phase of your electoral review of the Borough. It consists of a narrative report, a Borough map with our proposed ward boundaries and a spreadsheet which includes the electorate forecast figures for each proposed ward. This submission was approved at a meeting of the Council’s Licensing and General Purposes Committee held on 4 October 2018; the Committee has delegated authority to determine matters related to electoral arrangements in the Borough. As required by the procedures established by the Commission, the submission is based on the Council size of 55 councillors, the figure the Commission agreed it was “minded to” recommend. However, at the meeting, certain Members expressed their concerns at the proposed reduction in the number of councillors and, in particular, its implications for the democratic representation of local residents in the future. The Committee resolved to request the Commission to reconsider its view on the appropriate Council size and agree to retain the current number of 63 councillors for Harrow Borough. Should you require any further information or clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me.
