I am writing in response to Daksha Hathi’s letter about money being wasted on flowerbeds.

Along High Road, Harrow Weald, in the ward I am proud to be a councillor, the traders have recognised that Harrow Borough Council cannot afford everything it used to fund.

They have sponsored various flowers outside their shops and produce a pleasing environment in which to shop.

I suggest the traders along the Kenton Road go and look at High Road, Harrow Weald.

They will then see what can achieved working together with the council.

Cllr Phillip O’Dell

Lab/Wealdstone ward. Harrow Borough Council
