A recently launched change.org petition to the Harrow council asking to ‘Stop Cllr Anjana Patel from Becoming Mayor of Harrow in 2025’, is gathering signatures.
[the petition could have been sent to the Conservative group on the council, who appoints their mayor by a majority vote]
“Cllr Anjana Patel through her actions has shown that she is not suitable to fulfil the responsibility of civic leadership and community representation and does not promote unity and community cohesion within the Borough of Harrow” says the petition.
The petitioners regard the office of the Mayor of Harrow an essential one for the mayor being an ambassador for the borough, representing the values of the community, democracy, and the council. They say that ”Cllr Patel’s documented views stand in direct opposition to these values, and we do not believe she can fulfil the role of Mayor in a way that is inclusive, respectful, and fair to all residents”, drawing attention to her social media links.
There is no example of such a petition regarding a civic position in the Harrow borough’s 59 years history.

Good move by the Petitioners of Harrow to stop this unsuitable character who is at at present the Deputy Mayor (?) of Harrow from even being considered for the post of Mayor & who should not be touched with a bargepole which hopefully certain “close” associates will seriously consider!

Deputy mayor of the ruling political group becomes mayor the following year – so is the local democracy!
