Park to get new lighting after complaints of harassment after dark
Briefly

New lighting will be installed at Lowlands Recreation Ground, funded by the Neighbourhood Community Infrastructure Levy after a petition with over 230 signatures highlighted safety issues. Harrow College students expressed concerns over rising antisocial behavior, prompting a campaign for security measures. Principal Clive Hodge praised the students for their initiative and collaboration with local councillors. The lighting installation is in its first phase, expected to conclude by September, aiming to enhance safety for those using the park in the evenings.
Concerned about safety at night, our students took the lead in raising issues about Lowlands Recreation Ground. Their voices sparked meaningful discussions and action with local ward councillors, with our successful campaign resulting in lighting currently being installed—an important step toward making the park safer after dark.
We're incredibly proud of our students for championing this cause and working hand-in-hand with the local community to make a difference.
As an ex-student of the college, I understand how important feeling safe in the area is and I would like to thank all those who got involved.
The installation of the lights is currently in its first phase, it should be completed by September when the new term comes around and the days begin to get darker earlier.
