Both positives and negatives in this year’s Council Budget 04/03/2015 4:44 am Urja Patel On Thursday the 26th of February Harrow Council passed its budget for 2014/15; over the next four years Central Government has imposed £83m of cuts on Harrow Council and our residents, with £25m of savings coming in the budget just passed.
