The council wants to hear your views on all aspects of the library service including opening hours, IT and other facilities, and the type of books available to borrow.

Questionnaires will be available in all libraries and well as online or residents can attend one of four consultation roadshows.

The council is planning to work with Ealing Council to provide some services as part of efforts to save money.

Plans also include the introduction of wi-fi in all libraries and investigating the potential for a new town centre library that would bring together facilities at Gayton and the Civic Centre libraries all on one site.

Find out more here or fill in the online questionnaire here.

Residents can collect their compost tomorrow (Wednesday, May 9) between 3pm and 7pm at Roxeth Recreation Ground, Eastcote Road car park, or on Thursday, May 10, from 9.30am to 1pm at Kenton Recreation Ground, Carlton Avenue car park.

The council has 20 tonnes of compost to give away. For more information call 020 8420 9361 or email collette.bird@harrow.gov.uk

Two new trees have been planted in Rosslyn Crescent with two more to come.

All four trees were paid for by Greenhill ward councillor Sue Anderson from her budget for community projects.

They are the latest trees to be planted as part of HCRA’s ongoing tree campaign, which has seen more than 30 new trees planted in our three roads over the past few years.

Outline plans for the party were agreed at the association’s last meeting following a survey of HCRA members.

Woodlands Road will be closed for the party, which will take place on Tuesday, June 5 from about 3pm.

Neighbours will bring food to share and the event will feature live music, fancy dress and games for children.

Anyone who would like to get involved, make suggestions or add their name to our Jubilee party mailing list should email chair@hcra.org.uk

A team of HCRA volunteers once took to the streets yesterday to pick up litter and take unwanted junk to the town dump.

This year’s “dump run” event was a great example of neighbours working together to make a difference in their local community.

Helpers of all ages picked up litter, cleared fly-tipping and carted away vanloads of junk.

Other residents made donations towards the hire of the tipper truck and provided delicious refreshments for the team.

The popular “dump run” event sees a team of helpers cart away vanloads of rubbish in an effort to stop mouldy mattresses piling up in front gardens.

The event will start at around 9am in Woodlands Road and progress to Rosslyn Crescent and Frognal Avenue later in the morning.

Residents are asked to leave any rubbish they’d like taking away clearly labelled on the pavement just outside their house.

Householders reported seeing an intruder lurking in back gardens in the area at around 10pm.

The new site at www.harrow.towntalk.co.uk features information about shops, restaurants and bars plus local news and events.

It was launched by Harrow Council as part of efforts to showcase local shops and boost business during the recession.

Shoppers can find special offers and also leave comments in a “reviews” section with the chance to win prizes for the best reviews.

Another website for North Harrow has been launched at www.northharrow.towntalk.co.uk

The torch will be borne through the borough on Wednesday, July 25, starting from Harrow Museum at Headstone Manor at about 9am.

It will be carried along George Gange Way and into Station Road, passing by both ends of Rosslyn Crescent and the top of Woodlands Wood.

The torch will be in Harrow for an hour and 20 minutes.

Events will take place along the route with Harrow Council due to announce details of these activities, and where to watch, nearer the time.

Residents are being encouraged to line the route and give the royal couple a wave when they visit the borough as part of their Diamond Jubilee tour.

The Queen is expected to arrive in Harrow at about 2.45pm. The royal car will drive slowly down Camrose Avenue from the Edgware Road.

Big screens will be erected outside Krishna Avanti school so no one misses the action.
