Well didn't our councillors do us proud tonight over the Church Street decision? After a lot of speakers for and against the closure, councillors had their say. Theo Dennison concluded the data from the consultant and traffic department was 'inconclusive', but, the majority in favour of re-opening were 'guilty' of ruining Church St. by driving through it. Katherine Dunne almost sent the assembled locals to sleep with her ramble about how she likes cycling and on and on. Peter Carey was the only person who mentioned the fact that the vast majority (over 70%) of those who responded to the consultation wanted the road opened, and he had heard nothing to persuade him that that should not be upheld. The Dear Leader told the - by now weary - audience that in spite of what we may think they do have make hard decisions and they are not based on whether or not the electorate were in favour. (It had been pointed out earlier that the 700 odd people who wanted the road re-opened were half of some of the councillor's votes at the last election). According to him they are not swayed by their popularity (or not), if he really thinks that he's in the wrong game, politics is all about winning if you don't win you can't put your policies into play. There is always a political dimension, which clearly has passed this bunch by.
Chief backstabber was Cllr. Mayne who moved the recommendation of officers, he rides a bike, he walks, he drives a train, and he obviously doesn't give a stuff for anyone who hasn't the physical wherewithal to do as he does.
Thanks should go to Tony Louki who at least brought to officer's attention that there are three new schools going to be built locally two of which have no public transport links for children from this end of Isleworth, so will be transported by - car! And one another free school which will have children from all over, again probably coming in cars, thus adding to the horrendous conditions on Twickenham Rd. Sheila O'Reilly and Peter Carey also voted against the motion. Cllr. Sampson voted for and Cllr. Green abstained.
For sheer pomposity it would be hard to beat Cllr. Collins, enough to make you scream, what no-one mentioned at all was that in a democracy the will of the majority must prevail. Roll on May 2018. |
