Parking in Hatch End

Leave a reply

In Harrow, you can’t park across a driveway, on the pavement or grass verge. If you see this happening you can report it to the Council. Sending in a photo is also helpful. The easiest way to report violations is via Harrow Council website: : https://www.harrow.gov.uk/parking-permits/report-illegal-parking. But they can also be reached by phone on 020 8424 1858, Monday to Saturday, 8am-7pm. There is an out of hours number too: 020 8863 5611. And there is an email address:  parking.operations@harrow.gov.uk.

Bus route 223 proposed extension – consultation

Leave a reply

Transport for London (TfL) has launched its consultation on extending route 223 to the Eastman Village housing development on Harrow View, and would like to know your views. You have until 4 June 2023 to let them know your thoughts. Route 223 currently terminates at Harrow Bus Station. TfL is proposing to extend the route, so it continues travelling along Harrow View and instead terminates by the new Eastman Village housing development on the former Kodak factory site. The extension would help to serve the 3,200 new homes, create new journey and interchange opportunities, and help make the Harrow and Wealdstone area more accessible and connected.

Read about the proposals in detail on the consultation page: https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/route-223-extension, where you can also find a map of the proposed extension and FAQs. Please email haveyoursay@tfl.gov.uk to request any further information, ask questions or to request a meeting with TfL to discuss the proposals.To respond to the consultation, please complete the survey on TfL’s Have your Say website. Alternatively, email haveyoursay@tfl.gov.uk, write to them at FREEPOST TFL HAVE YOUR SAY (Route 223) or phone them on 020 3054 6037, and leave your name, phone number and message.

Hatch End Riverside Park

The Hatch End Association in conjunction with Harrow Council and the Harrow Arts Centre are in the process of creating a new Riverside Park. We have initial funding but require the support of local residents to help design the Park and support the area when completed. We plan to call the volunteers ‘The Friends of the Riverside Park’. If you would like to participate in the Friends’ Group, email heacoms@aol.com or leave message on the website.

See below a link to Newsletter 1 (July 2022), Newsletter 2 (August 2022), Newsletter 3 (October 2022) and Newsletter 4 (April 2023) of the Friends of the Riverside Park.

Fly-tipping

Leave a reply

Fly-tipping is a problem throughout the borough of Harrow. Joe Hannon, Enforcement Officer at Harrow Council has produced a Q&A video on YouTube on fly-tipping that the HEA thinks might be useful for residents of Hatch End.
Log on to https://youtu.be/oOAfzK27_5w to tune in.

The takeaway message is report any fly-tipping on the council website. This enables Joe to build up a map of known trouble spots and target them strategically.

HEA Summer Bulletin 2020 – Issue 210

Leave a reply

Due to Covid-19 and problems with distribution, the Hatch End Association committee decided to publish a digital-only version of the Summer Bulletin. Please click on the link below to read the Bulletin. It is a much slimmer edition due to the fact that any event we might have organised or attended, and consequently reported on, has had to be postponed or cancelled. We are hoping to be back to normal with our Winter Bulletin.

Grimsdyke Road Area CPZ

Leave a reply

At the TARSAP (Traffic and Road Safety Advisory Panel) meeting in August the results of the Grimsdyke Road Area Parking Review were issued. The statement from the Panel is below:

The results clearly indicate that there is no support for the introduction of parking controls in the form of a CPZ in any of the roads within the consultation area. It is therefore recommended not to take forward any proposals to introduce a CPZ in these roads and to take this opportunity to introduce double yellow lines at junctions, bends, turning heads and narrow sections of road which are proposed for safety or access reasons in accordance with the Highway Code regardless of whether a CPZ goes ahead or not throughout the agreed consultation area and to inform the residents of this decision.

The response rate was 63%, which is considered good and to give the results a great deal of validity.

17.9.20

Harrow Council is reviewing the parking arrangements in the Grimsdyke Road area as a result of a petition in 2018 from residents of Grimsdyke Road, Hillview Road and Hallam Gardens to introduce a CPZ (Controlled Parking Zone). A public consultation will open on 12 June until 2 July. Residents who will be affected have received a questionnaire to fill in (see PDF below) and post back to this address by 2 July: Head of Services – Traffic, Highways and Asset Management, Harrow Council, PO Box 39, HA1 2XA.
To comment online: click on the link ‘consultations open’ and then ‘Grimsdyke Road Area Parking Review’ and follow the instructions to make your comments.
