Harrow Council Proposes Preservation Areas in West Harrow and Pinner
Harrow Council has proposed two new Local Areas of Special Character (LASC) in West Harrow and Pinner. These areas, including Butler Avenue, Lance Road, West End Avenue, and others, aim to preserve historical interest and architectural quality. A six-week consultation period will allow residents to provide feedback. LASCs offer protection from inappropriate developments while maintaining the area's character.

The arrest was part of ‘Operation Nightingale’ led by Greenhill Safer Neighbourhood Officers. The suspect was found placing cards in various locations and had a significant number of illicit cards on him. He was remanded to court and sentenced to a community order with 300 hours of unpaid work.
