Pilgrims Hatch: Councillors stop bedsit plan in Harewood Road

Pilgrims Hatch councillors Barry Aspinell and Vicky Davies convinced Tuesday's Community Services panel to vote against the Tory administration's recommendation to convert a former scheme manager's accommodation (three-bedroom family house) in Harewood Road Pilgrims Hatch into four bedsits with six bed spaces and shared facilities for people requiring temporary accommodation. Both Barry and Vicky highlighted the fact the road is almost entirely populated by retired or disabled persons who currently enjoy the peaceful green environment in the road and next to the house for conversion is an entire complex of flats where many of the residents require daily warden support. Whilst both councillors acknowledged the need for temporary accommodation they spoke strongly against the location in Harewood Road Pilgrims Hatch has many properties used for temporary accommodation and the nature of the use has created noise and disruption for neighbours which seem to go unchecked creating unrest with the resident population.
