| And whilst we are on the subject, if: - "a clear objective [for closing Occupation Lane] is we want to discourage use of motorised transport except where necessary. This is particularly urgent because the evidence from elsewhere (and it’s a pretty obvious consequence of restrictions on public transport and people’s fears about using it) is that vehicle traffic quickly builds back to and in excess of pre-lockdown levels. If this happens in London the whole city is likely to come to a standstill" (Guy Lambert 26/6/20) - then what about having a look at the extraordinary number of motor vehicle salesrooms which we have on the Great West Road through Brentford? With apologies to anyone who works there, but we have had to put up with the noise, dust and inconvenience of the redevelopment of the Mercedes Benz site at the junction of Clayponds Avenue and the A4 throughout the whole of the lockdown period. This has been compounded recently by night work on the stanchions for the overhead section of the motorway, so residents of the lower part of Clayponds Avenue and Springvale on the South side in particular have had no respite from the noise (except part of the weekend) since the start of lockdown! So I am thinking that if Hounslow Council are serious about trying to cut down on the amount of traffic going into London, then reducing the number of places selling (mainly large) new cars might be a starting place??? Just a thought. |
