Can we change the name of our Borough?

Whilst "Hounslow" may have had a proud past ... the name today conjures up, in my view, the dreadful state of the scene in Hounslow High Street and it's environs.It's nothing to be proud of ... in fact this morning I have the dreaded task of having to visit Barclays Bank there ... having to side- step ugly scenes and the likelihood of being pestered en route.Then living miles away from there one is still under the 'umbrella' of that name "Hounslow"We need a new name!London Borough of "Magnolia" ?London Borough of  ?Any thoughts or ideas?

Any chance of an Ealing and Chiswick breakaway from our respective councils to form a new borough?

Given that highwaymen used to hang about on Hounslow Heath, and the way LBH takes money without providing adequate services, how about the London Borough of Turpin ?

Magnolia colour is very dated, the magnolia flower though still lovely.

"Council magnolia paint" refers to the common practice of landlords or councils using magnolia-coloured paint in rental properties to create a neutral and welcoming "blank canvas" for tenants, making it easier for them to envision their own furniture and style within the space. While Magnolia is a popular, cost-effective neutral shade used widely in the past, it is now sometimes considered dated"

Not magnolia, that's what's called a painter's white in council terms.
