| dear sir. As the saga of brentford redevelopment continues so does the general delapidation of the existing buildings,infrastructure and community spirit.How can you create a positive outlook for local companies and people by removing the existing people to make way for others whose only real initial contribution will be a purchase of a somewhat expensive concrete carbuncle on south side, that may deprive local shop owners on north side and residents of their basic right to sunlight?Once again these local people will be left in the dark and may decide to leave(or forcibly evicted) this area for friendlier less expensive area,THUS PROVIDING THE SO CALLED DEVELOPERS WITH EVEN MORE PROPERTY TO LAY WASTE. Considering the impact of global warming it seems that still the developers will build monstrous buildings on existing flood plains that are so wasteful of energy it seems almost pointless. Brentford as 1 example has so much potential to embrace the green issues and utilise natures power now.Yet the number 1 reason why the big private developers donot is because they say it is to expensive. Brentford has become a dump and the only thing going for it @ present is the remaining local long established independant retailers and people. I am a local person who wants to see Brentford embrace the green issues not run away from them.All i have seen so far is concrete and evictions,when what i would love to see is ideas that enhance not denegrate. Without clean air & water we as the 4th or 5th richest nation on earth will suffer the embarrasment of not looking after our resources properly in many health related ways.We take for granted such luxuries now but in the future we indeed wont. I have ideas that will benefit our local communitys & as a nation make us truly efficient that would involve science & engineering.These ideas have been around for along time but we are still slow in utilising them,ONCE AGAIN. |
