HOUSE REFUSE DISPOSAL.
The new method of collecting by a combination of
tractor and horses with covered trailers, for the Greenhill
district was installed during 1925, and is an improvement
on the old method.
A further tractor and trailers and also a Morris van
is to be added; the latter will be used mainly for the
purpose of collecting shop refuse.
The refuse material is collected from every house
in the district once a week.
RECREATION GROUNDS AND OPEN SPACES.
Improvements have been carried out on the various
Recreation Grounds, including the erection of two new
Pavilions on the Harrow Recreation Ground, one new
pavilion and three dressing tents on the Roxeth Recreation
Ground.
The tennis courts, cricket pitches, etc., have been
well patronised. The small Putting Green on the Harrow
Recreation Ground proved to be very popular, and
was used to the extent of 8,640 rounds.
An eighteen-hole Putting Green has been constructed
on the West Harrow Recreation Ground, and it is hoped
that this will also be appreciated.
The public have every reason to be proud of the
excellent facilities given for recreation purposes, which
have been very favourably commented upon by deputations
from other districts.
The facilities are used not only by residents in the
district, but by many residents in the adjoining neighbourhoods.
