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.

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.
Fly-tipping
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. https://www.harrow.gov.uk/flytipping
