| The site mentioned appears typical of any building site around here where certain issues are not being addressed before planning approval, and there has been a total failure to administer directives from the council to delivery/skip companies/the sites owners. Most of the issues on the site here have been covered on the tours I spent a great deal of time on, around my/your area - which is y/our area - and y/our Council tax being badly accounted for/squandered. Nothing has been done to address the issues and it looks like, in this particular case, a huge amount of public money might be spent on repairing damage which should not have occurred on the first place. The money about to go down the pan in repairing the pavements could be put to much better use. Many conversations on tour were about environment issues and including these in the planning process - has anyone checked to see if there are swift nests around the site, they arrive on the 8th - 10th May to find their usual nest sites removed then spend weeks bashing their wings against a house trying to get in. The issue of paving over front and back gardens might apply here as a neighbour said they have bought the next door house and are expanding their car park into the front garden? The site is currently open allowing possible intruders to access the back of neighbouring gardens and houses - this was also touched on in the tours and conversations with LBH officials. Do the neighbours around the back of the Hall know that their houses are exposed from the rear? The Estate the mission hall is on was to be renamed the "trees estate" (so I read on TW8 a while ago) and the trees within the grounds of the hall form an important aspect of the street scene especially as they align with a row of garages on the opposite side of the road where there can never be any trees growing. If you check out google street scene you will see a number of established trees around the hall - which have now all been removed. If somebody could post the link to google street scene I will post the current photos for you to compare. My photos show (and anyone can visit) what appear to be many H&S and kindly neighbourly behaviour being ignored. Regrettably this appears to be normal these days. |
