## **The Pinner Association** **(Registered Charity number 262349)** ## **Annual Report for 2020** The Pinner Association Executive Committee met eight times during 2020, the February and March meetings being in person and the July to December meetings (inclusive) being virtual online meetings, due to the constraints of the Covid-19 restrictions in place over those months. Our 2020 AGM had been due to be held on 22[nd] April 2020 but due to the Covid-19 lockdown at that time the meeting was perforce postponed and subsequently cancelled. At their first virtual committee meeting on 7[th] July 2020 the Pinner Association Executive Committee (comprising the Trustees of The Pinner Association Registered Charity) unanimously approved the following motion: _Minute 2007 – 5 (part):_ ## _**5. Secretary’s Report**_ _A written report was tabled and attached to these minutes. The following items required a decision at the meeting:_ _Postponement of the 2020 Pinner Association Annual General Meeting (PA AGM): The motion that the Pinner Association Trustees formally agreed to postpone the 2020 AGM until such time as Government guidance would allow such a meeting to take place, proposed by the Honorary Secretary and seconded by the Acting-Chair, was carried unanimously._ In planning the activities of The Pinner Association for the year the Executive Committee kept in mind the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit at our Executive Committee (Trustee’s) meetings. All the Executive Committee Officers and Trustees, together with many of the general membership who undertake regular duties of behalf of the Pinner Association, are unpaid volunteers, who freely give of their time, facilities and expertise to maintain and enhance the amenity of the local community. At their first virtual committee meeting on 7th July 2020 the Pinner Association Executive Committee (comprising the Trustees of The Pinner Association Registered Charity) unanimously approved the following motion: _Minute 2007 – 3:_ ## _**3. Creation of Acting-Chair**_ _Christine Wallace had resigned as Chairman at the end of her term of office on 22[nd] April 2020 (the date of the postponed Pinner Association AGM) in accordance with paragraph 6 of the Pinner Association Constitution. Julie thanked Christine for her leadership of the Pinner Association Committee over the past three years during changing times and wished her enjoyment after leaving this role. Christine was to remain as a Committee member, with responsibilities in Planning and Environment._ _An Officer’s Decision had been taken in April to ask Julie Waller (the Vice-Chairman) to become Acting-Chair until such time as an AGM and Officer and Committee elections could be held (until such time as when the Government restrictions due to the Covid-19 were relaxed to allow a public meeting to take place), subject to this being ratified by the Pinner Association Committee when a meeting could be held._ Page **1** of **8** _Robin Youle formally nominated Julie Waller as Acting-Chair and this motion was seconded by Shirley Clark and passed by the Committee unanimously._ This report is based upon the “View from the Chair” reports published in the March 2020, July 2020 and November 2020 issues of our magazine “The Villager” (numbers 246, 247 and 248) which is distributed to all Pinner Association members and more generally in the Pinner area. The March 2020 “View from the Chair” report was written by Christine Wallace, Chairman of The Pinner Association from April 2097 to April 2020, and the July and November 2020 “View from the Chair” reports were written by Julie Waller, Acting Chairman from April 2020. ## **View from the Chair – March 2020** _(Note – this “View from the Chair” Report was written in February 2020 before the implementation of the Covid-19 lockdown restrictions and consequent cancellation of the 2020 The Pinner Association AGM.)_ The 2020 Annual General Meeting of the Pinner Association is scheduled for 8pm Wednesday 22[nd] April at the Village Hall. It is an opportunity to meet other members and guests and to help the process of election of officers and committee. Chonde Nkowani, project manager for Harrow FoodBank, will be the guest speaker. The Pinner Association has made a second £1000 contribution to aid the FoodBank, this time on the suggestion of Julie Waller, 2019 vicechairman. When Julie and I took the cheque to the warehouse in Rosslyn Crescent, Harrow we found Chonde’s description of the work of the FoodBank impressive. We hope you do too. David Simmonds, the local Member of Parliament newly elected last October, will attend the AGM to get to know more about Pinner. His first Pinner appointment to meet residents was at Daisy’s café in Memorial Park and several members of the Pinner Association committee took the opportunity to ask questions. It was Friday 31[st] January. Yes, that day. A pivotal point in history whatever your view may be. Winding back through New Year and Christmas to November, two events have benefitted from increased involvement from the Pinner Association. The 22[nd] Pinner Pantomime Evening had a different theme in recognition of sponsorship from Pan MacMillan, the publishers of Elton John’s autobiography _Me Elton_ . The Mayor of Harrow, Cllr Nitin Parekh, in full ceremonial finery, gown, hat, gloves and chain with badge of office, led the Countdown, plunged the handle and the Christmas trees and new street lights burst into colour – red, green, blue and salmon with twinkling white, twining up the lampposts in Bridge Street. The icicle lights on the gables in Pinner High Street were a little more reluctant to shine initially but were soon sorted. The new decorative festive lights on the lampposts stay in position so there may be other occasions to turn them on and light up Pinner. After singing, dancing and music from school groups, Pinner Panto Evening went out with a bang as everyone flocked to the park for an excellent firework display in tribute to Rocketman! Remembrance Day proved once again to be a significant event held in the community setting around the War Memorial at the top of the High Street, well attended by all age groups on a clear bright Sunday morning. It is a very moving ceremony starting, as always, with the parade up the High Street, the guard of honour at the Memorial, the two minute silence, the trumpeter playing _The Last Post_ then the laying of wreaths, the National Anthem and a final prayer. Caroline Ennis was the lead organiser, acting for the Pinner Association in conjunction with the United Services Club with support from the Metropolitan Police, the Pinner Safer Neighbourhood team and local Page **2** of **8** religious groups. This important service is open to all. Help with this year’s ceremony would be much welcomed. There is action on the building site of Waxwell Lane former Car Park where twenty new homes are being developed by Harrow Council. Despite consultation meetings between the Pinner Association and the contractors AMCM, the residents have been disturbed by large vehicles using the length of Waxwell Lane. The vehicle route agreed as a condition of approval of the planning application is from the north end of Elm Park Road/Bridge Street, left into Waxwell Lane, then right into the site. Traffic and residents were disrupted on 22[nd] January when a subcontractor with an 81 tonne low loader delivered a piling rig via the full length of the Waxwell Lane Conservation Area which has a weight limit of 7.5 tonnes and then blocked the road while waiting to turn into the site. There were apologies all round from the Council’s project manager and also the Council’s Network Management leader whose team had approved the rogue route followed by those familiar words that they will “ensure that this does not happen again”. Another development just commencing is at Pinner Green where four detached houses on the Uxbridge Road are to give way to a block of 26 flats. The prominent Wellingtonia tree on the road frontage has already been felled. Your Association made strong objections to this development when the application was considered, but we failed to have the plans made more sympathetic in terms of landscaping and retaining the landmark tree. Residents in some parts of Pinner South are now having the inconvenience of the roadworks in their streets for the installation of high capacity electric cabling for the HS2 project. Members of the Pinner Association Committee attended the public drop-in meetings held by HS2 to inform the residents about what the work would entail and how lack of vehicle access to properties would be minimised. We would be interested to hear from our affected members whether the assurances given by HS2 at these meetings are being upheld in practice. In common with many concerned local residents, we have submitted our objections to the planning application to relocate the telecom mast in Marsh Road to a site in the middle of the pavement at the bottom of West End Avenue. The new 15 metre high mast and the six associated large equipment boxes would be highly visible to anyone approaching along Marsh Road from the central Pinner direction, and from all those approaching down West End Avenue. Due to the excessive height of the proposed mast it would tower above the surrounding buildings and be completely out of scale in this location, and be visible, and therefore intrusive, over a wide area. The impact would be far from minimal and entirely detrimental. We hope that Harrow Council Planning Officers will again refuse this application, as they did previously for a previous very similar application. More good news now. A Friends of Montesole Park group has been formed which will work with the Council to ensure that the park is well maintained, clean, safe and welcoming. A five year plan for the park is being devised and the Friends intend to organise events and activities in the park. Readers may have spotted notices which appeared on the aviary in the Memorial Park, which is the responsibility of the Council, saying ‘Free the birds’. Whatever you think about caged birds, I am afraid that were these to be freed, they would not last any time at all but would almost certainly be preyed on by other birds and would not be able to stand the cold weather. Now an appeal for help. Sheila Morgan, one of our Area Leaders, is standing down after sixteen years in the role. We are grateful to Sheila for her support over the years. But her departure means that we are looking for a replacement. If anyone feels able to take on the role, please do get in touch with our membership secretary, Jill Cock. Page **3** of **8** So, “progress” continues in Pinner, some good and some not so good. Whatever is being proposed, be assured your Association will continue to examine the schemes and plans and take action to oppose what would not be to the advantage of many Pinner residents and businesses. However, to continue to do this work we need more Committee members and if you feel you could help us in any way please contact us at information@pinnerassociation.co.uk as soon as possible to discuss standing for Committee membership at our AGM in April. Christine Wallace, Chairman, The Pinner Association. ## **View from the (Acting) Chair – July 2020** Back in April, I thought that we would have successfully held our AGM and by now and, if the members agreed, I would have become the new Chairman of The Pinner Association. Unfortunately the pandemic happened and while, like a lot of people, I felt that the whole thing was surreal and that, perhaps, we would all wake up from a bad dream, sadly this wasn’t to be. The result was that we couldn’t hold our AGM but Christine Wallace who has been Chairman for the past three years nevertheless stepped down having effectively completed her term of office. The officers of the Association therefore asked me as the current Vice-Chairman if I would take over as Acting-Chairman until such times as we can safely hold a vote at our AGM. ## **Thank you, Christine** We would like to thank Christine for her stewardship of The Pinner Association, a task she has undertaken with a great sense of responsibility ensuring that the committee continued to do its best to maintain and enhance the amenities of Pinner. As Chairman of the Association she has taken a particular interest in planning matters and the upkeep of parks, open spaces and allotments. Christine is to continue to cover "Planning" and "Environment" for the Association as a Committee member. She will also continue to be our representative on Harrow Council's Conservation Areas Advisory Committee _._ ## **A bit about me** I’ve lived in Pinner since 1996 when I moved down from Peterborough to join my husband who has lived here since 1984. Some of you might know me from the Cranbourne Drive allotments - I have the second one as you go through the gate. The allotment has been my daily exercise and sanctuary over the lockdown. I’ve also helped the Pinner Rotary Club with St George’s celebrations and volunteered on Pinner Panto Evening – you could find me doing zebra crossing duty - and more recently I have organised the Pinner Association’s annual Band Concerts. I became involved with The Pinner Association when the then Chairman asked me if I was a member to which I reply yes but I don’t know what they do. A year later I made it to my first committee meeting. It took me a while to work out where my skills could be usefully deployed. I’m an ex-computer developer, aka geek! So looking after the website, Facebook page and Twitter seemed a natural match. As a comparative youngster, I’m always looking for people of any age to join the Committee. ## **Coronavirus (COVID-19)** Having finished our seventh week of lockdown, the Prime Minister changed the guidance from ‘Stay at Home’ to ‘Stay Alert’ and, at the time of writing, we are slowly adjusting to the current new norm. Page **4** of **8** When lockdown was announced, the Association’s Committee considered what the Pinner Association could do to help residents. Looking at the ages of the Association’s Committee we decided that it wasn’t sensible to try to be hands on, but Committee member Ed Badke suggested that we collate on the website information about our local businesses – who was doing what. It seemed a sensible solution as providing information in this way is something that we have historically done (such as during the remedial works at Pinner Wood School). To obtain information took a great many phone calls as we quickly discovered that not all businesses had updated their opening hours and whether they could deliver on their websites.. This information has received a lot of interest and we hope that it has helped Pinner residents during these difficult days. Harrow Council under pressure to close the parks around the Borough asked the Association if members could check that users were observing social distancing etc in the Pinner parks. We had no qualms about taking this on as we were in no doubt that Pinner residents were very lawabiding. As expected, we were able to assure the Council that the vast majority of people were behaving appropriately, giving the Council the necessary information to keep the parks open. Unfortunately we have made the tough decision to cancel this year’s Band Concerts as at the time of booking them Harrow Council banned all events on public land for the foreseeable future. As we had no idea – and still do not have – when large public gatherings would again be permitted, we felt we had no option. Don’t worry, like Pinner Fair, this is a one off occurrence. I hope normal service will resume next year and we can again enjoy music wafting across the park. There is usually a silver lining in any disaster and the positives that have come out of this bad situation are that you can hear a lot more birds singing, pollution is down and, as someone commented to me as I snaked my way down West End Lane, people are friendlier. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve spoken to people across the road. Let’s hope the good things prevail. Possibly it also means that Pinner Memorial Park keeps its Green Flag status! ## **Waxwell Lane Car Park** At the time of writing work has started again on the site after being temporarily shut down after some of the local residents raised concerns about the lack of social distancing on the site. There are quite a few vulnerable people living close to the development who were worried about their health as some of the contractors were using public transport to get to the site and visiting the local shops during their lunch time. Also some people nearby weren’t happy because they couldn’t work but the construction continued. The contractor, AMCM, now Claritas, worked out a strategy for ensuring social distancing. The key points are: All workers must travel to the site using their own cars Site operatives are actively encouraged no to leave the site There will be no staff working across multiple projects ## **Planning** Whilst we have been unable to hold our AGM or Committee meetings, the members involved in keeping an eye on planning applications have been kept busy. Objections have been written opposing several applications, not all successfully. In particular we objected to 1 Love Lane (Caffe Nero promises): Redevelopment to provide a three storey building with accommodation in roof to provide coffee shop on ground floor and nine flats on upper floors. Whilst not opposed to this rather “tired” building being replaced with a well-designed and proportionate new structure, we objected to this application on the grounds poor pedestrian access and the small size of the proposed flats. Unfortunately the application was granted consent by Harrow Page **5** of **8** Council’s Planning Committee - by a margin of one vote. The Association has recently had rather more success with objections to a telecom mast and plans to turn single dwellings into houses of multiple occupancy. In addition to examining planning applications we have been keeping up to date on the proposals in the Mayor of London’s “New London Plan” (NLP), and have responded via our umbrella organisation, the London Forum of Civic and Amenity Societies. We were relieved that last year that the report of the “Examination in Public” by the Planning Inspectorate removed a major concern that the “green and leafy” suburbs would be built up at urban densities. Unfortunately, this March, in his response to the proposed final version of the NLP, the Secretary of State required some fundamental alterations to the policy before he would approve publication. Whilst some of these seem to be reasonable in achieving general conformity with National Planning Policy Framework, a few of them could cause serious harm in London and lead to unsustainable development. The problem is that the National Planning Policy Framework does not recognise that one size does not fit all places – the London Plan and Local Plans need to reflect local circumstances. Our planning team will continue to monitor the situation. Take care & stay safe. Julie Waller, Acting-Chair, The Pinner Association. ## **View from the (Acting) Chair – November 2020** ## **Policing** Well, I thought that I would start with some good news as it’s quite a rarity these days. PSCO Lee O’Brien has been nominated for a Harrow Hero’s award. He was nominated for making the community in Pinner feel safe – speaking to residents, listening to their concerns and giving appropriate advice when there is a crime in the area. How lucky we are to have PCSO Lee and we extend our congratulations to him. Still on the policing front; our local constabulary stopped two unlicensed music events being held in Pinner Memorial Park. Thank you. It was also with great sadness that we heard about a fatal stabbing at Montesole Playing fields. Our thoughts and condolences are with the family at this sad time. ## **Committee News** At last, your committee has been bought into the 21st century by holding Zoom committee meetings. As Chair it takes a bit of getting used to, ensuring that everyone gets a chance to have their say. The format has been changed so that we cover everything at a quicker pace. Membership Working Group - One innovation is the creation of a membership working group. We will be looking at the following areas:- - How to increase membership - How to increase the diversity of our members so that we fully represent all people of Pinner - How to attract new committee members - How to attract volunteers to Page **6** of **8** - Deliver the Villager Magazine and collect subs - Help at Band Concerts (hopefully next year) - What we should be doing This will take time and if you have any ideas feel free to contact me or email me on chairman@pinnerassociation.co.uk Bridge Street Gardens Notice Board - The eagle-eyed ones of you may have noticed that this has not been kept up to date for over a year. Unfortunately the keys went missing and were not easily replace. The notice board is managed by Pinner Business Club who has kindly let us have some space on it to keep you informed. AGM - As yet we still don’t know when we will be holding our belated AGM but the committee have ratified me as Acting-Chair. I would also like to thank the committee for continuing in their posts. ## **(Non-)Events** Like a lot of things, in August music on Sunday afternoons was sadly lacking from Pinner Memorial Park. We hope that we will return next year. The Rotary Club of Pinner also took the hard decision to cancel their annual Village Show; let’s hope it will return next year The Remembrance Sunday Service has unfortunately fallen victim to the COVID-19 pandemic. Having taken on board advice from the Government and the Royal British Legion, unfortunately it will not be held this year. My thanks go to Caroline Ennis and Geoff Wheal who had already started the planning process before we were bought up to date on national policy. Having said that, we will be placing a wreath at the war memorial and enquiries are underway to see if The Mayor of Harrow will as usual, lay a wreath in The Peace Gardens. Although Pinner Panto has been cancelled due to the pandemic, they are hoping that it will return next year bigger and better. We, the Pinner Association, are hoping to install the Christmas lights and trees and have a “low key” switch on - nothing fancy and definitely no large gathering. ## **Pinner Memorial Park** The warm weather coupled with the lockdown certainly put a strain on all of the parks within Harrow. Never before have the parks been so visited and an unfortunate by-product is the amount of rubbish left. It is a testament to Harrow’s Green Team who, in extremely difficult circumstances and with reduced manpower (due to some of the team self-isolating), put on additional bin collections. Thank you. Litter nevertheless remained a problem and, in July, I contacted the Interim Head of Communications at Harrow Council suggesting that they ran a hard hitting campaign about litter in all of the parks using their weekly email newsletter. (Do you remember their campaign?) In conjunction with The Heath Robinson Museum we also ran a campaign about taking your litter home from the PMP. This included posters at key entrances to the park and speaking to local takeaway businesses whose packaging was being left on the grass, most of whom were very happy to display a poster. [ _And Julie herself spent an afternoon litter-picking in the park for which she deserves a medal! Ed_ ] One local resident got fed up waiting for the Council to do something and one morning Pinner Memorial Park bins gained a new poster. I have been informed that all this did improve the litter issue in the park if only a little. Page **7** of **8** A post on our Facebook page about the new poster got the most reaction this year of all of our posts. What was interesting was that cross spectrum of views which ranged from those that thought if the bins were full people should take their litter home to those that thought the Council should have the bins emptied every day as that’s what they paid their Council tax for. ## **Waxwell Lane Car Park Development** Work is trundling on at a much reduced pace due to COVID-19. Goods vehicles for the site are still occasionally accessing the site from the Uxbridge Road end and not Bridge Street. When I spoke to their project manager asking him how things were going, he called it the site the “curse of Waxwell Lane”! ## **Website** I must apologise as I have been unable to keep the website etc. up to date with all the changes happening to our local businesses. (A family emergency and a chance to have a UK based holiday diverted me). Take care & stay safe Julie Waller, Acting-Chair, The Pinner Association.
