| Re. Councillor Lambert's blog "until I had to mosey on down to the Isleworth Public Hall. There was a public exhibition of some modest improvements for cycling between Isleworth and Twickenham. I attended this briefly and heard that The Isleworth Society are concerned this will have a negative impact on the Glossop memorial. I must say I thought the changes would improve its setting but it seems there’s something I’m not ‘getting’. Must talk to them" The proposed'improvements' along South Street and Upper Square are not, by any means, modest. It is a pity that the Hounslow officers failed to advise you that our concerns about the negative impact on the Glossop Memorial was not our only concern. We are also seriously concerned about the impact of the proposal for the pavement in South Street from Isleworth Public Hall to the junction with North Street to be shared by pedestrians and cyclists. The powers that be seem completely unaware of the impact this will have on the pupils who enter and leave the Blue School by the entrance that runs alongside Isleworth Public Hall and various users of the hall itself which includes a Saturday morning school, a nursery, Muslim prayers on Friday and the Millan Women's Group. The area in front of Isleworth Public Hall is a communal area used by parents and children from the Blue School, also people using Isleworth Public Hall. To alter this pavement to enable cyclists and pedestrians to share equally will create conflict and deem the area unsafe for pedestrians as, without a doubt, cyclists will take precedence over pedestrians. |
