People want to live in Harrow for many different reasons. It’s easily one of the best locations in London because of the history, schools, amenities, and homes. Various projects add even more value, including the council investing in improving green space and unlocking new opportunities. We want to have a closer look at a new programme here. Then, if you invest and need services like block management in Harrow, we’re a call away.
Lovely green spaces
One of the things people love the most about Harrow is the open space. There are plenty of amazing options, including Green Flag award winners. Some of the most popular ones include Harrow Recreation Ground, Roxeth Recreation Ground, and Riverside Park. They are wonderful assets for the areas and the heart of local communities.
Harrow Council and community partners are doing more and more to improve parks and green spaces in the borough. In May they said they have a new plan to invest £6m in the next three years to upgrade and modernise them. They also invited locals to share their views on how to improve the spaces. The work is paying off already, with 2 more parks earning awards recently (taking the total to 8).
The next exciting phase
Earlier this week Harrow Council also announced they would be inviting applications to regenerate old buildings in green spaces across the borough. Their goal is to bring them back into use as community assets. If successful, it would add even more value to the area. That could be excellent news for locals and investors. We’ll be available to offer guaranteed rent and block management in Harrow for clients.
The Council has identified 15 different potential buildings to redevelop. There is a really interesting selection, including an old dairy, bowls pavilions, and scout group huts. Some of them have a huge amount of character and personality. All have a wealth of history and have previously been essential community assets.
Harrow Council wants to see proposals for the buildings to bring them back to use. They are aware that most are in a state of disrepair at the moment and will require an investment to revitalise. However, there are great opportunities for the right projects. They hope to see different visions for the properties, including things like community hubs, wellness centres, and spaces for creativity.
To begin with, local organisations can apply now to redevelop the first five buildings. There will then be a second round of openings in January. A final round will follow that in March. Councillor Janet Mote said this is a great chance to “re-imagine and reinvent some of Harrow’s Hidden Gems”, including buildings with a huge amount of potential.
