Totally agree with Mike. There is enough empty brown field development around Brentford already, more going up and acres of potential land. If no one, including ratepayers wants to pay the (alleged - a landlord could make it pay) direct costs of keeping up a couple of 18th century speculative mansions let them fall, as they will in time anyway. Meanwhile let's give nature more of a chance by cutting unnecessary pruning and mowing. Maintenance organisations are liable to exaggerate the need for activities but estimates have varied widely and the fine details of past, present and future mooted expenditure have been significantly lacking from debate and public scruitiny |
