| Leader of the Council Members Services Your contact: Local ward Councillors: Councillor Mayne: Ed.Mayne@hounslow.gov.uk Councillor Sampson: Sue.Sampson@hounslow.gov.uk Councillor Green Linda.Green@hounslow.gov.uk Civic Centre Lampton Road Hounslow TW3 4DN Our ref: Northcote Avenue Date: 4th March 2015 Dear Resident Northcote Avenue Open Space The council recently sought your opinion on the granting of a grazing licence for 2 horses on the open space known as Northcote Avenue Open Space (or Pit Park). We have listened to your feedback and seriously considered your concerns. As a result of this consultation and review, the annual licence will not be renewed unless a working group led by the ward councillors comes to a different conclusion. The horses will however be allowed to continue to graze until October 2015, which is when the initial licence period runs out. As with all licences, if there is evidence that the tenant is in breach of their licence they will be given one month’s notice to vacate and the licence will be terminated. I would like to thank you for your contribution to the consultation and also take this opportunity to apologise for any inconvenience and unhappiness that the granting of this licence has caused. I have asked that local Councillors now work with you to shape the use of the site after October 2015, taking into consideration the pressures on our budgets, and would welcome your engagement in this process. If you do have any questions regarding the information in this letter please do not hesitate to contact your local Councillors and they will respond to your query as soon as possible. Yours sincerely, Cllr Steve Curran Leader of the Council Response to people who contacted the council and which has just been stuck on the gate - naturally. One has to ask why the local councillors would break the habit of a lifetime and start responding to people let alone working WITH people. So to translate: We cocked up big time, we know you've got the hump - but tough - we get to call the shots because we're arrogant, up ourselves a*seholes. And this working party may just ignore everything that's gone on anyway, so there! |
