Voters in Harrow met the Home Secretary Theresa May this morning as the Conservatives ready themselves for Thursday's elections.

The political heavyweight was joined by Tory council leader Susan Hall and Rayners Lane Conservative candidates Joyce Nickolay, John Nickolay and Lesline Lawson, who discussed Harrow's Neighbourhood Champions scheme, tackling beds in sheds and immigration policy.

Ms Hall said: "We're very grateful to the Home Secretary for coming, and for showing an interest in some of the exciting projects we have in Harrow."

Mrs May's visit comes after the Mayor of London Boris Johnson and Prime Minister David Cameron had an eventful trip to Harrow last week .

Ms Hall added: "She was particularly interested in our decision to have the whole borough heat-mapped, to help identify illegal beds in sheds developments and cannabis factories.

"She was also keen to hear about Neighbourhood Champions, and the vital role they play in helping keep Harrow cleaner and safer by reporting problems in their streets back to the council."
