Paul CampbellI think the majority of residents complaining about extra pollution on roads beside schools, are complaining about the A316.You see, your fantastic Idea of pushing all traffic on to main roads to create your gated community. Has not only kept through traffic on the A316 but a lot of residents that live in the same area as you.So now we has a lot of extra traffic going passed two states schools and a private one. First of all, at certain times of the day there are stationary cars with engines running outside Chiswick School, and further down outside Cavendish Primary school, then a small residential complex for retired residents. That leads us on to St Mary's Convent nursing home.All these places are now receiving extra traffic noise and pollution, and all because you want to have a game of football with your kids in the street.Your one man crusade is starting to fall apart as we learn that Hammersmith and Fulham have carried out similar schemes as Hounslow, but have allowed the residents of the area much freer moment within the restrictions. So if one borough can do it, so can Hounslow.While we are on the subject of safer streets, its not just the streets that need to be made safer. LBOH pavements are a disgrace, and making it dangerous for residents using Mobility Scooters.Many pavements are so uneven, some even impassable, in fact a cyclist watch me get stuck on a badly maintained pavement that while driving over it the scooter bottomed out and I got stuck. with the cyclist help I was freed to go on my way. When I ventured that way a week later it hall been flattened, so I don't know who reported it. But around your are there are roads with no slopes, and with the height of those kerbs you cannot bump down them, so then you go searching for a slope for a garage, if you do find one a car is parked over it.So once again selfish people within the South Chiswick area as its called now, don't give a dam about a section of their community.I cannot get out of my road without using the road, that's not to bad as I use a Class 3 Scooter. but anyone with a Class 2 scooter would be breaking the law.So Hounslow buck up your ideas and sort your pavement out before stuffing us up with more restrictions
