They want your vote on May 2022!

Conservatives: one hour free parking at the council car parks, extra street cleaning, more enforcement against illegal HMOs (house in multiple occupation), free bulky waste collection.
They say they have proposed a budget amendment which would have delivered on the priorities of local people. They say ‘Labour chose to stick with their short-term plan of gimmicks and wasteful spending’  – for example, £3.7m on failed IT projects, £44m on civic centre project and second-highest Council Tax in London.
Harrow Greens don’t have a manifesto for the local elections but publicise their various campaigns, interventions and petitions over the years to improve the quality of life in Harrow.
Labour: they are committed to safer communities, economic recovery & social justice (though apparently some dedicated Harrow socialists have been systematically ditched). They identify the following steps to achieve their set priorities:
To tackle anti-social behaviour and crime by increasing CCTV coverage, installing more LED lights and investing in dealing with domestic violence. Delivering 30 minutes free on-street parking. A new ‘fly-tip task force’ and doubling street cleaning in Harrow’s high streets and town centres.
They report some wonderful people are helping clean our streets (not ratepayers job to do this), and show support for LGBT community.
Liberal Democrats: they would go for greener housing without high-rise – use Council powers to make sure dwellings are not kept empty without good reason, a Harrow Card to deliver benefits to residents and businesses, make Harrow cleaner and greener, and fight fly-tipping. They pledge to keep the council tax as low as possible – will fight for a better share of Government funds.
They say they will use all the local authority powers to tackle knife crime; and will set yearly targets for a reduction in crime in Harrow, so the progress could be measured.
‘We will promote planting of trees, new or as replacement, in the parks and along streets’ they say.
