The draft Public Art Policy’s aim is to outline Harrow’s approach to public art installations. The intention of the Policy is to enable high quality public art in the London Borough of Harrow, engage local people in the development of public art, and ensure all proposals are evaluated in relation to their social, economic and environmental impacts. Examples of Public Art in Harrow include ‘Skipping Girl (Katy’s Statue)’ in St. Ann’s Road and ‘The Leaf’ at the Grove Field (Lowlands Road). We would welcome your views on the draft Policy including the application process.

Methuen Road and Chandos Crescent (including Methuen Close, Overbrook Walk and Milford Gardens) are situated between two existing controlled parking zones TA (operational Monday to Saturday 8.30am – 8.30pm) to the north and zone X (operational Monday to Friday 10am - 11am and 2pm – 3pm) to the south. Parking in the area is of a premium and local residents find it difficult to find parking on their road. This situation is further exacerbated by the proximity of the London Underground station, local shops/businesses and Krishna-Avanti School. Chandos Crescent is an uncontrolled narrow road with parking informally taking place on one side only restricting the road to only one car width for two way traffic. The council has received correspondence from local residents and ward councillors requesting the council consult local residents/businesses within the agreed consultation area on whether they want to be included in a controlled parking zone (CPZ) or not.

Harrow Council works closely with Transport for London (TfL) to promote and improve public transport facilities, which includes making bus services more attractive, safe and reliable mode of transport. We have been successful in securing funding from TfL to address congestion and delays issues along Porlock Avenue and Treve Avenue and we are therefore seeking your views on these proposals.

The council has been successful in securing funds from Transport for London (TfL) to improve crossing facilities along London Road, Harrow-on-the-Hill. We are therefore informing you of our proposals to provide a zebra crossing along London Road near its junction with Mount Park Avenue.The proposals will allow all pedestrians, particularly the school children to safely cross London Road which can be difficult to cross during peak periods.

Short breaks form part of a range of services provided by Harrow's Children and Young Adults with Disabilties Service (CYAD), a team of social workers with specialist knowledge of disabilities. Short breaks enable children and young people (up to the age of 18) to take part in fun activities which enable them to learn new skills and develop their independence. They also allow families/carers to have reliable and regular breaks from caring. Young people over the age of 18 have a personalised budget and use this to purchase the support and activities they need. Harrow People Services Directorate is undertaking a review of local short breaks services available for children and young people with disabilities and their families. In order to ensure that we provide services that offer choice and meet the needs of you and your child, we would like to invite you to have your say.
