Harrow on the Hill News

Dear Harrow on the Hill,

Thank you for all your support, kindness and encouragement over the last four years. It has been a genuine pleasure and privilege to represent such a special community as your councillor.

While I am naturally disappointed not to have been re-elected, I leave with my head held high and enormously proud of what we achieved together.

Over the last four years we secured more than £100,000 of community investment into our area and delivered a wide range of local improvements, including:

• Restoration of the High Street Fountain
• Refurbishment of the Hornbuckle Close playground
• Support for My Yard Warm Hubs
• New bins, benches, bicycle racks and festive lights
• Greenford Road planters and streetscape improvements
• Alley gates at Cavendish Avenue
• Traffic calming campaigns, speeding signs and safer crossings
• Petitions for ASB cameras, traffic calming and footway repairs
• Clearance of Allotments at Cowen Avenue
• Clearance of the Commonwealth War Graves on Roxeth Hill
• Planting of 30 additional trees across the ward

None of this happens alone. Thank you to residents, volunteers, community groups, council officers who worked with us to make things happen.

Most importantly, thank you for the conversations (even the challenging ones) and the sense of community that makes Harrow on the Hill so unique.

I got involved as I am a public servant and I wanted to make things better. Public service matters. Community matters. And whilst my time as a councillor has come to an end, my love for this community certainly has not.

I wish Harrow on the Hill and their new councillors the very best of luck.

Why I want to be your local councillor

I’m standing to serve as a local councillor because I care deeply about Harrow and the public services that hold our community together.

I’ve lived in Harrow for many years and, like so many local families, we rely on our public services every day, our children go to local schools, we swim in local pools, and we enjoy Harrow’s parks and green spaces. I want it to be the very best it can be.

When local services work well, it is transformative and they can change lives. When they don’t, it’s our young people and most vulnerable residents who feel it first.

For over 26 years, I’ve worked in local state schools and as Shadow Portfolio Holder for Children and Education Services I’ve brought that frontline experience directly into local politics.

I’ve seen first-hand the pressures facing families, schools and young people and I know how much difference early support, well-funded services and joined-up thinking can make.

Alongside my professional life, I’ve always been active in our community, campaigning for safer streets, better public spaces and opportunities for young people.

I believe local politics should be about listening, standing up for residents, and making sure decisions are driven by fairness and evidence not short-term fixes.

Eden and I have a proud record of the last 4 years in representing Harrow on the Hill residents and securing over £100k of investment in the Ward from bins to benches, alley-gates to festive lights.

I’m proud to be part of a Labour team that believes in investing in public services, backing communities, and making Harrow a place where everyone can thrive.

That’s why I want to continue serving – to be a strong, experienced voice for our community and to help deliver the future Harrow deserves.
