What suffers is the character of a place when this sort of thing happens, otherwise everywhere you go looks the same, and none of the local history is celebrated and retained. Quite how the Hounslow planners square that with the bid for Borough of Culture I know not.
Isleworth is suffering much the same, the latest plan to have a cycleway which will be in direct conflict not only with pedestrians in one particular area, but no consideration either for the fact that it will cut a swathe through the conservation area with not a thought for the look of it, and no conservation officer comments. Philistines. Really it's about time our elected members thought for themselves instead of just meekly rolling over for various officers pushing their pet schemes. |
