Two housing developments in Barnet and two in Harrow continue to discharge waste into surface drains due to illegal plumbing misconnections. A new pilot project funded by the mayor of London aims to tackle this issue, which is impacting the River Brent.

Harrow Council has been ordered to pay £800 and issue an apology following findings by the Local Government Ombudsman. The council failed to complete a key stage transfer review of a child's Education, Health and Care Plan by the legal deadline, delaying suitable education provision.
