| I am really glad the LBH have decide to refurbish the Brentford Towers (article on front page) instead of pulling them down as was rumoured a few years ago. They look in a sorry state at the moment and look rather scruffy against the new high rise that have been built next to them. It seems that LBH are embarking on quite an extensive refit, by cladding the outside of the building, replacing the windows, boilers, enclosing balconies and removing hidden asbestos and hopefully creating 17 more flats. My one concern is with the Lease Holders within the tower blocks, they are surly going to have to contribute a share for their flat within the overall upgrade of the building. I hope they don't end up large bills similar to the projects in Sutton and Reading, and are given time to pay, if they have to pay anything at-all, hopefully not.
