| This has been an interesting and enlightening thread. My colleague, Robert Thorpe and I will be attending the Mogden resident’s liaison meeting this evening. Tomorrow afternoon Robert will be meeting with parents outside St. Mary’s Catholic Primary School in Isleworth. Saturday we will be running a stand at the Shrewsbury Walk Market off South Street, Isleworth from 10am to 2pm. We will be collecting signatures for a petition calling on the council to comply with its statutory obligation to provide adequate allotment plots in the borough and to this end; to investigate the feasibility of an application for compulsory hiring of the Park Road Allotment Gardens, Isleworth in accordance with the provisions of the Small Holdings and Allotments Act 1908 https://hounslowlibdems.org.uk/en/article/2018/1263738/hounslow-borough-s-allotments. On Sunday, we will be running a stand at the Bridgelink Centre at the Ivybridge estate from 12 noon to 2pm. We will be discussing with residents a number of issues around fly-tipping, parking on pavements, street lighting, access to the boxing club, adequacy of the doggie park etc. The theme of the thread asks “Could Libdems take the Isleworth Ward”. The answer is yes, if enough voters actually turn-out to signal their desire for a return to a public service ethos and councillors responsive to the needs of the local community. On the part of prospective Libdem councillors, we will be working as hard as we can to bring about a change. I have an enduring faith in the common sense and integrity of the residents of the Borough to act to bring about a change in governance when it is needed. In my opinion that change is urgently needed now. |
