"On behalf of Harrow, I want to share my condolences to all those affected by the devastating plane crash in Ahmedabad. My thoughts are with the families who have lost a loved one, and those still anxiously waiting.   "I know this tragic event will be felt deeply here in Harrow, not least from our British Indian community who will have strong ties to the region and may know a family member or friend affected.  If you are affected, please follow the government advice.   "We are in touch with our community and faith leaders in Harrow, and together we remember and grieve the tragic loss of life. I encourage people to join Harrow Interfaith’ s memorial service taking place tomorrow."   - *Cllr Paul Osborn, Leader of the Council*   Harrow Interfaith are holding a special prayer including an opportunity to sign a book of condolence tomorrow.

We know how much you love our beautiful parks and open spaces. With summer here, our parks are getting busier. You've told us about issues about littering, overfilled bins and more collections. We've now installed large bins across 12 parks to help people to dispose of waste the right way. We'll also be emptying the bins more frequently during busy periods. Cllr Pritesh Patel, Cabinet Member for Cleaner Streets and Public Safety visited Harrow Weald Rec earlier this week and saw how well received it's been. If you're visiting our parks - use a bin for your rubbish or take it home with you. https://youtu.be/P2L-1Io0bu4

It was an extra special summer party at the Firs on 30 May as we celebrated a ‘Good’ Ofsted rating. The local children’s home run by the council supports children with special needs. The Firs includes sensory rooms, personalised bedrooms and a specially designed garden that children love. Parents describe it as a second home for their children where children feel safe, happy and supported. At the summer party, the Mayor, Cllr Anjana Patel, Cllr Hitesh Karia, Cabinet Member for Children’s Services and Cllr Janet Mote joined the celebrations. They spent time speaking with parents, children and staff to learn about the vital support the home offers. The Ofsted Report praised staff for their skills and compassion giving children a the safety, care and support they need.   www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGEFqD5B6ZE .
