Potholes are causing problems for motorists & pedestrians such as this pothole by The Ridgeway with Church Drive. Sechi & I are determined that action is taken to tackle this Tory neglect of North Harrow.

Conservative-led Harrow Council was on the brink of bankruptcy before Labour Ministers stepped in with extra funding. @gareththomasmp.bsky.social told MPs how precarious it was for Council services before the Government acted

“North Harrow. No filter lights, no pedestrian crossing. Continuous accidents & school children crossing every day” - that is how junctions in North Harrow have been cited in this
@harrowonline.org article. It does not need to be this way

The need for safety measures on the Station Road/Pinner Road junction - by The Gym - is beyond doubt but there are new questions as to when this work will begin - as I outline in this reel.

Great news that the UK/India Free Trade Agreement is being debated in Parliament. I was able, earlier this year, to see the economic dynamism of India when I visited Delhi NCR, Agra and Jaipur (as below). This agreement will help jobs & firms in Harrow.

Rubbish left on the corner of Afriston Avenue & Imperial Drive for a week, potholes left unattended and broken pavements on Imperial Drive and across North Harrow.

North Harrow should not be neglected.

It is time for change.

North Harrow residents tell me and my Harrow Labour colleague, Sechi Kailasa that Harrow Council must do far more to crack down on flytipping.

If there is flytipping near you, please contact Harrow Council harrow.gov.uk/streets/fly-...

I asked Harrow Council's Cabinet Lead for Highways and Finance for precise timescales as to when safety measures will be put in place at a key junction in North Harrow. This was the response

Rayners Mead is a beautiful park. The Friends of Rayners Mead do a great job in supporting our local park but Harrow Council are not doing all that they can to maintain the park - as this reel shows. Its time for action. #northharrow #LocalElections

While Harrow Conservative councillors refer to good roads in Belmont ward, these are examples of the state of the roads in North Harrow. Sechi Kailasa & I with the Harrow Labour team
are determined to end this neglect. It's time for action.

Residents told @gareththomasmp.bsky.social, Sechi Kailasa and I that Harrow Council was not taking practical action on road safety at key junctions, no action on potholes & there was no action on broken pavements. It is time for change.

This dangerous pothole is in Lankers Drive by the busy junction with Suffolk Road. Sechi Kailasa and I are determined that the days of potholes & broken pavements being ignored in North Harrow comes to an end.
