| But Tony has a point here. The 65 is a key trunk bus route brings in the paying customers as it's a long route linking affluent towns. It is also a 24 hour service so you can get home late at night. I wish it had been like that when I was a teenager! The E2 and E8 are local routes and apart from Northfields, do not really serve a potential market. It's also near Kew Bridge Stn which is zone 3, Brentford is zone 4 and a hefty extra on the fare. If Watermans gets buried away somewhere, then people will simply not bother. On costs, well it's a shoestring operation like most arts centres everywhere. What do the friends and members do? I'm a friend and a member of a couple of organisations and we do all these tasks. As a teenager I was doing stuff at the Questors Theatre in Ealing, that involved anything from litter and parking duty to varnshiing wooden doors. Everyone mucked in and that what made it fun although it did become a bit too highbrow and elitist for me. Heritage associations, and clubs all often rely on volunteers and a lot of the work is dirty,and potentially dangerous but risk assesments and safety training are done first and it works. Even groups on allotments face the elements to keep sites shipshape. So if parking charges are going to cover this, what happens if people either don't come, or park elsewhere? Where will the money come from if the place moves to a site with no parking at all , which appears to be the case? |
