We are the London Borough of Harrow.
Rich in culture, heritage and an entrepreneurial hotspot, we pride ourselves as one of London’s most diverse boroughs.
We want Harrow to be a great place to live, work and visit, a place where people are proud to call home, feel safe and supported and where communities flourish.
Putting residents first is at the heart of everything we do. Within this lies a commitment to deliver services and experiences where the wellbeing and needs of our residents are met and are of a high standard.
With a workforce of more than 3000 employees, we want to be a council that staff are proud to work for, where everyone feels empowered to excel and is given the opportunity to thrive – all while serving our 250,000+ residents.
We want our staff to share the same level of ambition and drive to delivering our plans within the business and wider community. These are centred around three core priorities:
- A council that puts residents first
- A borough that is clean and safe
- A place where those in need are supported
We deliver our services and achieve our goals through our core values: to Be Courageous, to Do It Together and to Make It Happen. These are the main drivers to delivering our priorities and achieving our goals.
Our vision is to work together to continue to make a difference for Harrow, where people choose to do business, to live, work and visit.
