All is very much a mix of what policymakers and developers want and the rest is smoke and mirrors on what local people and residents want. It seems from years of this that most people want Waterman's to remain where it is and be enhanced or incorporated into what ever gets built there. No-one got asked when it was sold off. The fact that the site was gifted to Brentford by North Thames gas for the benefit of the people of Brentford after the North Sea Gas conversion project was completed, again with no consultation with the local populace. The local authority are supposed to be stewards of gifted assets ( rather like what's happening with part of Ealing Town Hall ) Nothing proper factored in. The Waterman's themselves have not helped. Becoming far too reliant on Arts Council handouts but these come at a price and the strings attached lost the impetus of the thriving and mainstream arts centre it had been and was the envy of many other Arts Centres. I and many others still remain unconvinced that plonking a smaller less versatile arts centre in the middle of a residential area will lead to it returning to the vibrant successful place it was and still can be. It never utilised its full potential and the design of the building, like the Fountain centre down the road was deeply flawed, but the location remains about as prefect for a community facility as one could ever wish for. It's been a complete stitch up or gross incompetence right from the start.
