Brentford Stadium updates
From Sally Stephens, New Stadium Project Manager:
I am getting in touch to provide an update on a number of matters relating to the Brentford Community Stadium development:
- To provide a copy of the slides, Minutes and various attachments from our last Lionel Road Liaison Group (LRLG) meeting held on Monday 17 September
- To share a copy of our latest Construction Newsletter
- To ask for your support for South Western Railway’s bid to secure government funding to provide disabled access on the westbound platform at Kew Bridge station
Potential changes to Hounslow boundaries
In July 2018, the independent Local Government Boundary Commission for England (LGBCE) announced it would be undertaking an electoral review of the London Borough of Hounslow.
Residents are invited to listen first-hand to the Boundary Commission’s presentation and ask any questions on the process of Hounslow’s review at its Public Meeting on Wednesday 14 November, from 6pm in the Blue zone at the Civic Centre, Lampton Road, Hounslow, TW3 4DN.
Reading Volunteers wanted
At Strand on the Green Infants and Nursery we provide children with reading experiences which aim to inspire and ignite an enquiring mind.
We have a number of volunteers from the local community who come in and help us achieve this. We’d love to have more because they do a fantastic job and make a big difference to our children’s lives and experience at school. If you are able to spare a little time weekly or fortnightly to read with our children we’d be delighted to welcome you. We do not expect a long term commitment and are flexible around the time you can give.
If you are interested please call (0208 994 7921) or email the school office (This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.) with your details.
Steam Packet Steps (again!)
The latest planning application for two residential houseboat moorings at Steam Packet Steps has been recommended for REFUSAL by LBH Planning. 95 objections represents just under 50% of SoGA’s membership.
Thank you for helping to kill off this unwanted and intrusive scheme.
The Curve - update
The chiswickw4.com website has reported as follows:
The importance of the views and the character of the listed buildings along Strand on the Green, which was perhaps the most important panoramic view from the south side of the river Thames was stressed at the Public Inquiry into the 32-storey Chiswick Curve this Tuesday (19 June).
Richard Griffith, chairman of Strand on the Green Residents [sic] Association (SoGA) said that poor quality developments could harm the integrity of the Conservation Area. He told the Inquiry, in its second week, at Brentford Free Church, that there were currently ambitious plans for schemes which included tall buildings and these would have an impact on the wider character of Chiswick and their effect on the Conservation Area should be considered.
The skyline of Strand on the Green was currently broken in on by the BSI Tower at Gunnersbury.
Local Policing Changes
As you may be aware, the merger of the police service across the three boroughs of Ealing, Hounslow and Hillingdon took place on Wednesday 6 June.
