HARROW BOUNDARIES.
An Inquiry was held by the Middlesex County Council
into an application by the Wealdstone Council for
an extension of the latter Council's district. The Wealdstone
Council's application extended to a small portion
of your Council's area, but this part of the application
was subsequently withdrawn.
I desire to draw your attention to the remarks
in my Annual Reports for several years past with reference
to the Mount Park area, and would again press
upon the Council the necessity in the interests of the
health of their district, of again endeavouring to get
this area transferred to Harrow to which it geographically
belongs.
