My neighbours and the Coronation

I'm very concerned that my neighbours may not be watching the Coronation on TV, as I can hear them listening to music and moving around. It is also the case that they have in the past made disrespectful remarks about Camilla in the garden, which I have overheard. To whom should I report this unpatriotic behaviour, so that they can be arrested and preferably imprisoned under the new legislation?

Stolen Michael Kors handbag

My car was broken into on Rupert Road just off Bath Road yesterday evening and my tan and cream Michael Kors handbag was stolen out of the boot. My purse was found discarded nearby so I’m hoping someone may also spot my handbag. It’s very old and not worth much at resale value but has enormous sentimental value. If anyone spots it please can you contact me. I would be eternally grateful. Thankyou.

Councillor Biddolph selective reporting

For some reason in her newsletter today here on CW4, Biddolph celebrates only 2 of the 3 local Chiswickians given Hounslow Mayor awards on Friday.She completely omitted to celebrate the award also to local resident Karen Liebreich for her years of voluntary service locally in improving the environment here in Chiswick, via planting, community arts, local markets and Abundance London activities.  Tells us lots about Councillor Biddolph - Why the selective reporting? One can only presume she does this in all her writing/public pronouncements.

Dentist?

This has probably been asked a thousand times before... but what are recommendations for Dentists? I've heard good reports about Wellesley Road.I've been at a local practice for about a quarter of a century but I feel it may be time for a change.

Mower needs a home

A neighbour has asked me to find a home for a small Bosch electric mower.  I have given it a trial run and is working.  I would say it has a 12 inch blade with a grass catcher so would suit a small lawn.Any takers?

Anti-social behaviour

Strand on the Green Association is aware of a group of youths who have been violently kicking people’s front doors over the last two weekends.  They were observed on Thames Road on Sunday 16 April mid-afternoon and on Saturday 22 April at approximately 9pm.  We have reported these incidents to the police via 101 and also contacted the Chiswick Riverside police and provided them with video footage.  There are about 6 or 7 youths, aged 14-16, one on a bike and one on a scooter.It seems this a "thing" from TikTok called the "heartbeat' challenge and it seems to be going on in other places: see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11826671/amp/TikTok-heartbeat-challenge-craze-sees-yobs-bashing-doors-London.html If you have experienced this we would recommend informing the local police by emailing them at ChiswickRiverside@met.police.uk.

Average Speed Camera Calibration

Does anyone know if these cameras need to be calibrated regularly to be legally enforceable? My wife has received a “Notice of Intended Prosecution” and the calibration certificate is signed and dated May 2016. Does this invalidate it?
