"No" is what the people of Chiswick have said to the current Hounslow Streetspace programme
So in London, Labour win Barnet, Westminster and Wandsworth, with Voters rightly rejecting Boris Johnson. In Chiswick, against this backdrop Labour fail to advance meaningfully. Congratulations do go to Amy Croft for her win. However, Labour should have secured many more based on what happened elsewhere in London, and they failed.This is all down to their decision to allow former Cllr Hanif Khan to stand. He came last and Joanna Biddolph first. The vicious plan by a small minority in Chiswick to attack Jo Biddolph was seen for what it was, and the truth is out Chiswick residents were repulsed by that and against an awful Boris Johnson led Tory Government voted on the main local issue and have firmly rejected the Hounslow's Streetspace plan yet again. The Council now needs to work with the 80 to 90% of residents to address these schemes. If this had been a national election the Tory vote in Chiswick would have been wiped out. Johnson needs to go now, and go quickly for the sake of our democracy.
