| Church Street is highlighting the problem with transport in Brentford. The existing roads and junctions are inadequate and the dramatic increase in housing density from all the new and proposed tower blocks exasperates the problem. There was a report on this website detailing the levels of pollution right through the town and verifying it above legal maximums. I have a poison gas alarm and the damn thing reads higher levels of danger going to Greggs for a sausage roll than it does shutting in an oil well that has gone sour. Closing Church Street has increased stationary traffic and increased emissions. There is a clear safety correlation between these emissions and real damage to peoples health, so from this perspective the experiment should be cancelled on safety grounds. Not cancelling it is negligence. There's a developing issue with pollution, the density of housing in Brentford and the councils plans to pretty much double it over the next few years, plus their support for a third Heathrow runway. You can't have your cake and eat it, Hounslow Council. The population you represent are telling you to resolve these issues, to do your job, and to do it properly. No doubt some bright young lawyer living in Brentford (perhaps in one of the new million pound apartments) will put together a legal case proving statutory negligence on your behalf and then hopefully going straight for the jugular - professional negligence by the senior management of the council. This I believe can be persecuted as a criminal offence by the individuals rather than a corporate offence by the council. |
