Well it must be great for cyclists and walkers but both my children who have old cars and who live far out of London can no longer visit me - They have older cars  which still  work very well - and there is no way they can afford new electric cars - Thanks mayor -

Station House / Grove Park Tavern - no work being done?

Once the boards went up it seemed like they were very quick to gut the place but i haven't seen any work being done there in months - have i just missed it? I am worried that this building does not have listed status (which seems strange given its age) and if left to the elements long enough might just fall down......

Perils of proposed Street Food Market

Re the monthly Food Market application, I have just received Panel Pack agenda for the Licensing Sub-committee for the 22nd August 2023.  See below:https://democraticservices.hounslow.gov.uk/ieListDocuments.aspx?MId=13009&x=1Haven’t read it all yet.  But already note on the licence application – see link below – https://democraticservices.hounslow.gov.uk/documents/s185819/Food%20St.%20-%20Appendix%20A.pdf where it says “It is a requirement to provide evidence on how you intend to remove trade waste from the site”– the answer given by applicant simply says: “Traders will remove all their rubbish at the end of the market.”The form then states: “It is a requirement to provide evidence on how you will transport fresh water to the site and how you intend to dispose of the waste water. Please state details here:  Answer given by applicant just says: “Traders will bring the water they need to the site and remove any waste water when they leave.”And so it goes on.  In other words the applicant is taking no responsibility and is providing no evidence of assured maintenance of hygiene standards were this market to go ahead. So the bit of fun offered by a monthly variety of snacks on sale would have many hugely negative repercussions. Not only would the food street market pose absolutely unfair and damaging competition to the many established food traders who pay very high costs to be on Chiswick High Road and who are already suffering extremely difficult trading conditions.  The significant litter and detritus from the proposed Food Market would be incredibly deleterious to the area.For these reasons I hope the licence application is turned down.

Saigon Saigon, gone?

Saigon Saigon King Street Ravenscourt Park, appears to be closed? No notices online or in the windows of the restaurant that I can see. I saw one complaint online regarding an online booking made and "accepted", only for the customers to arrive to find it closed. We had noticed when passing that it has seemed closed for a couple of weeks recently, but thought perhaps it was just a summer break, but seems it may be more terminal. I hope it isn't so - fond memories.

Where to donate leftover hot hotel buffet food?

A close friend of mine is hosting a reception on Thursday at a hotel.  There will be a hot fork buffet, but it’s likely there will be significant untouched food.  If it’s properly boxed up, does anyone know any charitable institutions to which we can donate it?  Many thanks.

Street Food Market Gets Green Light

Great. Sounds fair to have a three month trial to demonstrate the organisers manage the event well and attract people. Or just prove that it doesn't herald the end of days for Chiswick.https://chiswickcalendar.co.uk/street-food-market-gets-green-light-but-with-reduced-scale-and-on-trial-basis/

Thieves - Burlington/Wellesley

Do you or anyone you know currently have a street bike locked to a bike rack at the corner of Burlington Road and Wellesley Road? If so, move it immediately if it is still there.At 5am this morning (Sunday), I stumbled across someone using an angle grinder to try and cut the lock off a bike locked to a bike rack at the corner of Burlington and Wellesley, I filmed their attempt before they noticed me and scarpered; I will pass the footage and further information along to the police later today (no doubt they will do nothing in spite of the fact that I have vehicle registrations etc).Please could everyone reach out to the local community to find the owner and hopefully get their bike out of harm's way before it is stolen.

Famous Residents

I noticed there's a plaque up now for Tommy Cooper in Barrowgate road. Are there any other "famous houses" in this street?

Wagner Boss Yevgeny Prigozhin

I wouldn't have put my money on him having a long life after his mutiny against Vladolf Putler, and it seems I would have been right.
