THREE transport projects in Harrow have been given a boost by a £100,000 grant approved last week.

The money has been given to Harrow Council by Transport for London after the council's traffic and road safety advisory panel recommended three projects.

Special Needs School, in Stafford Road, Harrow, has been given the largest cut of £50,000 while another school, Marlborough First and Middle, will benefit from £20,000 worth of traffic calming measures.

The remainder of the money will fund a feasibility study to improve traffic flow and provide pedestrian crossing facilities along Stanmore Broadway.

It is hoped this will reduce congestion and make crossing the road safer .

Councillor Phillip O'Dell, portfolio holder for environment and community safety on Harrow Council, said: "The council has thought very carefully about how to best use this money.

"We have found three very different but important schemes that represent excellent use of this funding."
