Plans for new LED lights form part of the council s applications (Photo: Pixabay/Newsquest) Almost £4 million could be spent on making schools and public buildings in Harrow more energy efficient and environmentally friendly. Harrow Council has applied for around £3.9 million worth of funding from the Government under the Public Sector Decarbonisation Scheme (PSDS), which seeks to tackle the use of fossil fuels. If successful, this would cover a series of projects – such as replacement LED lighting systems and new insulation measures – at council-owned buildings across the borough. The council acknowledged it is unlikely to secure all the funding it has requested since the scheme has been “significantly oversubscribed”.

The first phase of Harrow Arts Centre’s redevelopment sees underused historic outbuildings become a dance school, events space and artists’ studios
Architecture and research practice DK-CM has completed the first stage of a wider project to transform the Harrow Arts Centre in northwest London. Three outlying listed buildings across the centre campus – which had previously been used for laundry and storage functions – have been sensitively refurbished to become new locations for a dance school, events space and artists’ studios.
The work is part of a six-year masterplan developed by DK-CM to support the arts centre to grow and become both environmentally and economically sustainable. The design team carried out an extensive study of the history of the campus, which was originally The Royal Commercial Travellers School. The masterplan retains and upgrades existing buildings, improves public realm, and adds four new buildings across the site as part of latter phases.
