Aluminium window frame lock repair

Can anyone recommend a person or local company able to repair or fit new window locks for an aluminium framed window.   I think the locking handle just needs tightening up - it has worked loose but unable to find the same looking lock on line.   Thanks

Kept awake all night again - this time by faulty temporary lights

The temporary lights at junction of CHR and Goldhawk Road are now faulty, hooting has been absolutely incredible all evening and into the night.Literally listened to bus drivers leaning on their horn for 10 full seconds at 1am, disgraceful behaviour but it doesn't help that the temporary lights are stuck on red, so traffic backs up, people realise there's a problem and start hooting angrily at the cars at the front of the queue. Not to mention the problem is coming from THREE directions.I've tried to call TfL's emergency number, after going through the menu system which take 2 mins they make you jump through hoops by repeatedly confirming it's definitely an emergency, then cut you off after you press hash to confirm. Done this now 4 times.It's literally like however hard you try to get through to TfL to explain what the problems at this junction are - and they have been problems for years but this temporary light situation is unbearable - they just don't want to help resolve them.What can I do?

No right turn into Duke Road from Bourne Place

A sign has gone up to this effect.How exactly am I supposed to get to my house on Glebe Street? Duke Road and Devonshire Road are closed to traffic southbound onto the glebe estate and we were left with just this Bourne Place access but now it looks like this further restriction has been put in place.What the hell is going on? How are we supposed to work with this? This is beyond a joke.

HELP please URGENT to avoid repeat fines.

Is that camera in operation in Hartington Rd.   Elderly neighbours with no computer have not registered their car.  Very unfair if they are going to incur a fine each time they exit at Roko traffic lights.    WHAT IS THE TEL NO. AT LBH?     On line form no good in this case.   They are to fraught to do it themselves, can I or someone else do it for them?    During carer's visits, wife rushes out for food/petrol etc driving out at Hartington Rd A316 and back over C.Bridge.I thought the idea was to help residents enjoy a Safer Neighbourhood - Bah to that, absolutely crazy - it's made life impossible here in Grove Park!

Delayed Royal Mail Deliveries?

Is anyone else experiencing delays in postal deliveries?We are not far from Bath Road and have had little or no post for several days. Haven’t been able to speak to anyone at Royal Mail to find out what’s going on. Does anyone know what’s going on?  Thanks.

Stamps for Xmas cards

If anyone is with Ocado and wants to avoid the post office they sell first class stamps on Ocado. Just a thought .....

Hartington Road signage

Driving north over Chiswick Bridge heading home for Sutton Court Road today, I realized that if I had not previously known about the new restrictions in place, I would probably have incurred a fine by turning, as I have done for years, left into Hartington Road. The sign warning you against doing so is insignificant, to say the least - one might almost think our leaders in distant Hounslow wanted us to fall foul of the law and swell their coffers with fine-money, but that would be a silly idea. I know they only have our best interests at heart, which is why they consulted us so thoroughly before blocking off a local road to most residents. I was therefore happy to continue along the A316 and join the permanent queue of traffic which now stretches from Hogarth Roundabout back beyond the entrance to Staveley Road.

Postman for W4 2RY - does anyone know his name?

HelloI wondered if anyone knows the name of the fantastic postman who delivers mail to W4 2RY (definitely on Friday's but other days also) and the surrounding area. He is a slightly older gentleman and is always so polite and friendly. I'd like to give him a christmas card but on the day we introduced ourselves, he told me his name and I promptly forgot it! If anyone knows who I am talking about, I'd really appreciate it!Thank youAnna

Cllr Guy - cycling from TW8 to Chis. Hi Rd to King St.

Lead Cllr Guy Lambert - important question and just in case you didn't see the same one on the TW8 website.   You've been spotted in Chiswick Hi Rd several times just recently so how are you finding the traffic and the as yet to be opened two way cycle lane?   Is that level of pollution caused by the barely moving traffic jams acceptable to the Greening of the borough.   How safe will you feel pedaling the full length of this cycle lane from Kew Bridge to King Street in Hammersmith and back again?    I have several ardent cycling friends who flatly refuse to cycle in C.HiRd as they say it is far too dangerous.   Old habits die hard, so will old people who have grown up being told to look right, then left and then right again before crossing the road - well that won't do now will it as they stagger to cross the two-way cycle lane to the bus island perched in the middle of the road!    I suppose when all these old twits have been felled, it might come good!

Outsider Tart - outside seating

As we drove home the other night we all commented on how beautiful the awnings looked outside Outsider Tart, the first festive thing you see as you enter Chiswick and really very special considering the dog's dinner the rest of the High Road looks at the moment. Now I hear that Hounslow have asked Outsider Tart to remove it! Hounslow: leave things in Chiswick alone! Businesses are struggling after lockdowns and need all the help they can get. These awnings are gorgeous, especially at night, and are not causing a problem to anybody!Actually I think Hounslow has been stolen by The Grinch ...

Wonky Christmas Tree

Have just established that our Christmas tree (real, about 7-8' in height) is wonky in its wooden base. Given we have a 4 year old and it needs to be stable, can anyone recommend a stand - that can be sourced locally?  Thanks in advance.

Bus stop eastbound on CHR near the Roebuck

Just wondered when this  eastbound bus stop was closed and  presumably  moved slightly further west.  I stood under the shelter this afternoon and then realised as not one but two 237’s (travelling together)?sailed past having indicated stopping slightly further back that the bus stop had moved.  I should have realised when I couldn’t see a reference to the bus numbers but there was no sign saying the stop was closed! This is presumably due to the cycle lane?

No mail deliveries

Chesterfield Road has had one delivery of mail over the last 10 days - are we the only Road in Chiswick not to have deliveries????

WELL DONE 2 local firms in W4

I cannot recommend both these businesses highly enough.   They are both in Devonshire Rd.   W4 BATHROOMS were unfailingly polite and really helpful suggesting various style and have provided me with an excellent and well priced shower unit and tray, all done by talking to them over the phone.  The goods were ordered and held until my installer was here and ready to take delivery.   Their service was exemplary.The other Devonshire Rd business who has given me wonderful advice and service is CHISWICK LIGHTING.   I speak on the phone to their extremely knowlegable and helpful staff, order and pay, once I was able to drive and stop outside, they put the goods in my car and I managed to get back to Grove Park.   This last time with SCT closed, not so easy but my daughter managed to collect but CHR and entire area jammed solid so actual delivery to me finally made today.I applaud these local businesses making such superb efforts to carry on trading under the current appalling conditions inflicted on them by Covid but even worse, Hounslow Council's manic disruptions to our roads throughout W4!
