| It is true that Hounslow totally ignored the consultation results over Church St. What is not so is the role of the Head of Traffic whose name Philippa got wrong. The Head of Traffic did make a point of telling councillors at the IBAF meeting that the consultation overwhelmingly was against closure, they still voted to do it in spite of that advice. Councillors make policies, officers advise and if approved carry them out. Closing streets to traffic and thus people is always going to attract the more undesirable element, so be careful what you wish for. The nonsense about the allotments is just that - nonsense. The allotment holders have never once mentioned that they feel vulnerable and the site offered was not comparable or in anyway suitable, a point made by the allotment people and the planning inspector. |
