Good to know I'm not the only one who feels this way.

While there's something decidedly reminiscent of Shippham's paste about the shenanigans between Hounslow Council and various developers, this isn't exactly the right thread for it - Messrs Iddon and DeWet, I don't know whether your 'blahs' were aimed at me or someone else, but they're a bit sneery and unhelpful.

It took me a while to appreciate the genuine goodness of Mozza's; it's a good supermarket (sometimes an excellent one) and the staff are lovely. I feel bad for them when they're overrun by louts nicking stuff. They don't challenge it enough, because they don't want to be clobbered or knifed and I don't blame them. Morrisons is an invaluable resource that needs support and investment, not neglect. The past few years of uncertainty have not helped.

(In other matters, the wholly ludicrous notion of having a space shared between a mini M&S and one of the discount sheds was one of the most dismal displays of thoughtless desperation I've been unfortunate enough to encounter. Brentford NEEDS a full-service supermarket. There are local families needing to do proper shopping and I want to know that I can buy items I want when I need them, not pay 30% over the odds on a limited range (mini M&S) or wade through bargain scuba gear to find a limited, unreliable range of goods with questionable provenance (Aldi/Lidl/whoever). If that's middle-class privilege, shoot me.)

The massive, over-dense development bubble has burst. Post-Brexit, who knows what's going to happen, but my money is on 'nothing good'. This area is choked with sites  - and enough is enough.

I sincerely hope that L&Q will cease development on this site and that something can be done to encourage something that Brentford really needs, rather than the dogged pursuit of a plan that does nothing at all for an area that deserves so much better.
