No Harrow schools get London mayor green scheme money

No Harrow school is listed* to benefit from the London mayor £2.9m Greener Schools programme to install solar panels, heat pumps and other technology across the capital.
A total of 38 schools in 16 London boroughs will receive funding through the pilot, with councils contributing an extra £9.6m to the project.
The scheme, which also includes insulation and LED lighting, could save schools almost £15,000 on their energy bills.
“Working with the boroughs, we’ve been able to leverage a further £9.6m to fund more vital projects in more schools, helping to meet our target of achieving net-zero by 2030, as we continue working to build a greener and fairer London for everyone,” London mayor Sir Sadiq Khan said.
Harrow needs not to pay for some in Harrow council Conservative administration who are toxically at odds with Sir Sadiq Khan and his improvement initiatives.
After Harrow councillor Hall’s bad defeat at the London mayor election, her ward colleague, also a Conservative councillor, organised a venomous petition calling for Sadiq Khan not to be knighted which, though pumped up the far-right mob, didn’t work, and Sadiq Khan was knighted.
The Harrow council Air Quality Action Plan has failed to credit Ultra Low Emission Zone impact like the biggest reductions in NOx emissions due to the ULEZ expansion in Sutton, Merton, Croydon, Harrow and Bromley, where harmful emissions are estimated to be around 15 per cent lower in 2024 than would be expected without the expansion to outer London.
Out of 32 London boroughs, Harrow was one of the four Conservative held London councils – Bexley, Bromley, Harrow and Hillingdon – that along with Surrey County Council had gone for a judicial review challenging the London mayor’s Ultra Low Emission Zone expansion programme across all London boroughs.
The revolt was apparently instigated by the Harrow councillor Susan Hall, who at the time led the GLA Conservatives group. Later, she stepped down from the post to stand against the sitting London mayor Sadiq Khan but was badly rejected by the Londoners.
The legal challenge was dismissed but the Harrow council administration never apologised to the residents for wasting their £150,000 on the court action which was apparently staged for the political gain at the London mayor election.

  1. A venomous Conservative Councillor & “his” screwed up vindictive & ludicrous vengeful behaviour (Racist as well?) aided & abetted by misguided Harrow Council Conservatives & “others” (who should have known better!) as time wasting Vexatious Litigants , seem to have squandered a lot of Residents money 💰 & as a result deprived Harrow Schools of much needed funds which is disgraceful with these characters continuing to gloat while they continue to occupy chairs in Harrow Council without any moral conscience & their unacceptable behaviour!
