One moment we read that Boris is awarding the Borough over £2,000,000 to regenerate the area... not just the High Streets..but the area...to enhance our lives and the next minute the most successful Community adhesive event that we have...and run by volunteers.. is being saddled with an unacceptable £6000 bill to use it's home base Boston Manor Park. It's crazy. The Brentford Festival is a knock out..and it's being clobbered! --------------------------------------------------- The Mayor has awarded £1,275,000 from the Outer London Fund to the London Borough of Hounslow, for a range of public realm improvements in Brentford town centre and surrounding areas. This includes £265,500 in the first round of awards for a range of improvements, including lighting and shop fronts and enhancing the area in the run up to Christmas, as well as temporary public art at Watermans In January, Hounslow was awarded a further £1,008,811, to enable a programme of public realm works aimed at the long term regeneration of Brentford town centre. This includes St George's Piazza, around Market Place and to enhance links with its waterside location. Other measures include better lighting in the area, Legible London signs, and cycling improvements, as well as cultural projects. ------------------------------------------------------- |
