| Please do not tell me what I think, the start of the Ruination of Brentford came with the Green Dragon Lane Developement(I believe it is called Haverfield Estate)cottages were torn down and those monstrosities were built NOT to house local residents but other borough's, that was the begining of the end of Brentford each and every development since has brought in outsider's, that is WHY! we can no longer keep our front and Back Door's open. I have nothing but admiration for people who have made it and DO have second homes, however if you live in the area then you should be prepared to put something back into the community, don't get me wrong I shop at Morrision's however for my big shop my children take me to Chiswick or Staines to enable me to get what I want at a fair price.When we were Brentford & Chiswick we were a thriving community now we are the pit's, monies gained by the Council under Section 106 for Development in Brentford SHOULD be utalized in Brentford for the good of the Community not given to some other project elsewhere that will bring in votes. If ISIS and British Waterways can show Building's no taller than 6 Storey's, Shop's that will give us bargains and do not have outrageous parking plans on the agenda that we as a Town cannot accomodate than the objection's will surely disappear. We also need to know what ISIS will contribute to Brentford with the Section 106 monies and what the Council plan's to use it for are, that is a must it is our right and if that is not forthcoming than we must all bombard David Cameron to amend Section 106 to ensure that we Brentonions do Benefit. I can remember when I was a kid Brentford High Street being packed out especially on a Saturday and having to walk in the road because we had so many shops, we even had a Cinema Called The Bug Hutch(Queens Hall). Out of a development of 300 flats, the Council probably get 30 of them for Council Tenant's,are they for Brentonions NO of course not they are for people outside of our community,at any given time there are 8000 families on the housing list, look around you do our people benefit from applications being granted NO! outsider;s are housed in preverance to people inside of our community,so we loose anyway. It's time that we all realised that we have right's and we can criticise our Council and that we expect only the best for our community,then if they are condescending and are not prepared to talk with us. We can and WILL go to Wesminster with our concerns also do our utmost to ensure that Section 106 monies given to the Council for the benefit of Brentford is rightly used for Brentford. |
