There is also a convenience in the Car Park, Station Road, Harrow,
which receives attention from the Car Park Attendant. All these conveniences
are maintained at a high standard of cleanliness and are not
abused in the way those are where a full time staff are not on duty.
Except a one-stall urinal in Northolt Road, South Harrow, the other
25 public conveniences in the district are on recreation grounds or other
Open Spaces maintained by the Corporation. Five of these, at Alexandra
Park, South Harrow; Stanmore Common; Little Common, Pinner;
Stanmore Recreation Ground; and Montesole Playing Fields, Pinner,
are near main or well-used thoroughfares, and serve the travelling and
the shopping public as well as the users of the Open Spaces in which
they are located. These with the other conveniences on the Open Spaces
are closed at dusk. Unfortunately many of these are badly damaged
by irresponsible persons. The rough-casting of walls and the burying
of pipes and other methods have been tried as a way of lessening the
damage caused but without success.
The provision of new conveniences at Kenton, Rayners Lane,
Brockhurst Corner, Queensbury, Hatch End, Belmont and Pinner is
being considered by the Highways and Cleansing Committee. The
rebuilding of the conveniences in Headstone Manor Recreation Ground
was approved by the Open Spaces Committee.
In addition to those maintained by the Council, there are two conveniences
on the property of the London Transport Executive to which
the public have access.
There are conveniences at four licensed premises in the district
which, by arrangement made with the brewers, the public may use.
Three of these are in Pinner; their general use will be discontinued when
a new convenience is provided in this area.

Following consideration of a suggestion from the Public Health
Committee the Highways and Cleansing Committee at their meeting
in November resolved that the Public Health Committee be informed
that tree washing facilities, including free paper towels, are already
provided in the five public conveniences in the Borough at which male
and female attendants are on duty, and that these facilities will continue
