| That is an absolutely outrageous slur on the well organised and responsible allotment holders at Park Road, and it completely ignores the fact that the Planning Inspector agreed with their, Hounslow council's - and the Isleworth Society's view. The very wealthy Duke has not shown himself not to care one jot about 'the best interests of local people' it is all about maximising his assets, and the existance of the allotments had absolutely nothing to do with recent events. The alternative site offered was not suitable for many, many reasons, the allotment holders knew it and so did the Inspector. Not least of which was the preservation of a Grade 1 listed landscape - designed by Capability Brown. |
