Harrow’s Conservative Council has set out a positive vision for the next year to make Harrow an even better place to live.

We are continuing in our mission to put residents first and restore pride in our borough, while ensuring that the Council remains on a sound and secure footing financially.

Below are some of our ambitions for the next 12 months and beyond:

• Improve the Council’s website to make it easier to access information and navigate as well as using mobile technology to deliver a more personalised service.
• Piloting a new customer services kiosk in a library to bring services to the community. If this is successful, then we will roll this out across Harrow.
• Progress our regeneration plan to build quality family homes on the Byron Quarter site.
• Further protect the heritage and character of suburban Harrow by designating at least 2 neighbourhoods as ‘Local Areas of Special Character’. This will help empower the Council to refuse inappropriate planning applications across the borough.
• Enhance Harrow Town Centre to make it a more accessible, better connected shopping centre for local residents.
• Install 200 more EV charging points for residents to use and at least 5 rapid and ultra rapid charging points in our car parks.
• Reduce antisocial behaviour in 4 hotspot areas by running coordinated ‘Days and Nights of action’.
• Launch a new pothole squad to fix potholes quickly and at lower cost using new technology.
• Implement neighbourhood street cleaning crews who will know their local area and the hotspots.
• Create a taskforce who will investigate and take action against those who fly-tip and make our borough dirty.
• Purchase up to 25 further homes to provide temporary accommodation to homeless families in Harrow.
• Deliver 60 extra specialist accommodation units for older people at the former Kodak site.
