A contractor to Harrow Council is currently
installing 100 EV charging points around the borough. More will follow this first phase. Have you noticed one in your road?

Tesco Towers

Notting Hill Genesis, part of the London Housing Association, had plans to redevelop the current Tesco site – new store, plus 504 homes across ten blocks up to 13 stories high – but they’ve just withdrawn the application. It’s not known if they will reapply. Over 2,500 people signed a petition against it.

Here’s what people were worried about:

Scale: Ten towers, between four and fifteen stories, would just stick out in the local area.

Infrastructure: People raised concerns about extra pressure on roads, public transport, schools, and health services.

Health and quality of life: Residents – including folks in a nearby retirement home – were anxious about noise, dust, and bad air from all the construction.

Affordability: The so-called “affordable” housing really didn’t feel affordable for most locals.

Greenhill Neighbourhood Watch and MetEngage

Remember that invitation to sign up for Harrow Neighbourhood Watch over the summer? If you joined, you’re now also part of MetEngage, a London-wide platform and police initiative that keeps residents, businesses, and the police connected with crime updates, safety tips, and news from your local team.

Neighbourhood Watch is a nationwide community-led group with volunteers working alongside neighbours and police to prevent crime and make communities safer. It’s huge – up to 2.3 million members.

They’re all about bringing people together. They believe community cohesion is the best way to fight crime, and they’re especially keen to get more young people involved.

Welcome to our updated website

Just so you know, we're still working on it. We recently changed to a hosting company called Hostinger. The main reason? It saves us money, and it just makes building and editing the site much easier. This change also means it’s now
a lot simpler for other people to assist. At the moment, the “website team” is just me – so
if you’ve ever wanted to help out, here’s your opportunity. Don’t be put off, the site is user-friendly. If you can handle Microsoft Word,
you will cope with this site quite easily. It won’t take up a lot of your time either. I’ll be around
to help. What really matters is that you bring some enthusiasm. If you’re interested, just fill
out the contact form and let me know!

Here’s how they put it:

“Neighbourhood Watch today is still a grassroots charitable movement, with local schemes run by volunteers throughout England and Wales. We believe in the power of neighbours working together to build safer, vibrant and inclusive communities, help prevent crime and make a positive, sustainable difference in communities"
