I have just been to the public meeting at St Francis Church near Gillettes and apparently there is no real consideration to the views. I told them about the clock at Gillettes bending seen across the river towards Richmond and being used and enjoyed by locals. We always notice if it has stopped or is out of time. The proposed building will block the clocks view and replace the clock tower as a pinnacle to Syon Hill. The replacement building for the pinnacle is just not good enough and the proposed building is far too high and there is a historical significance to the pinnacle of this hill for the area and Brentford itself. The land tumbles down from the top of the hill to the river. |
