Streetspace Feedback

Streetspace Feedback – an opportunity to give your feedbackThe Hounslow Streetspace programme has seen a wide range of traffic management measures introduced in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.The measures included many that were put forward by residents during LBH’s Streetspace consultation in May - June 2020, alongside some existing projects which are now being delivered with greater urgency.  The measures are intended to improve safety and social distancing for those making trips on foot or bike. This also helps keep roads clear of traffic for those that have less of an alternative to travelling by car.LBH are now requesting your feedback on measures introduced through their Streetspace programme. While Streetspace was developed in response to the pandemic, it supports long-term council goals such as improving air quality, making our road network as safe as possible and prioritising active travel. The feedback will be considered alongside other data, including road safety, air quality, and traffic data, in determining the future of the proposals. LBH are also keen to know if you think they should consider making any trial measures permanent.Please use the link below to provide your feedback. A dropdown box allows you to select the measure you wish to provide feedback on. Feedback can only be provided once a measure has been implemented, and will be accepted for the duration of all trials.https://haveyoursay.hounslow.gov.uk/traffic-and-transport/streetspace-feedback/Our mailing address is:Brentford Voice4 Tallow RoadBrentford, Middlesex TW8 8EUUnited Kingdom

Williamson

Just watching the debarcle on channel 4 about our kids A level results this year - I am completely mystified that Williamson has decided not to answer yet- nor has anyone from our government- I have grandchildren at their age and I so feel for them.I wonder how the GCSE results will show.

Stirling Road recycling site

Be warned that it is closed this week. The gates are wide open but the unpleasant staff on duty won't allow entry stating there is a new online registration and prebooking system  ..... that starts on 17 August. Today's date, and I've checked, is 13 August.Good luck to LBE residents and others without online access.

Latest announcement from Council on pandemic and it's not good

If I was a parent anywhere in this country I would be petrified right now.  The second wave has well and truly started should we not re think going back to school?  The clusters they are finding all over the country were mainly down to the over enthusiastic gatherings of friends and families when the government said you could do it.  I am very ill right now myself with Shingles and chronic Urticaria and I feel awful but I have had it before and I don't get blisters so my carers are safe from it.I have not left my bedroom since January so I know I do not have Covid19,  I am on my own so I have no children but I worry about friends and family who do.  Stay safe everyone out there it's a cruel world right now and there is no guarantee the government will get on top of this as they have proved over and over again they are not fit for the job. Crisis management is a skill some people are brilliant at it some are not I think it would be good though if political parties putting people forward for election sent them to crisis management training before they were in charge of peoples lives.Maybe we should take it out of front line politics and have a crisis management team allowed to make on the spot decisions and who make sure we have proper stocks of equipment needed for emergencies and they run the whole show no politicians at all.  Would you trust a goose to build a bridge?https://content.govdelivery.com/accounts/UKHOUNSLOW/bulletins/29a6089

First Sign of Things to Come for South Parade

Not aware of any particular reason that South Parade would be so jammed with traffic at this time of the day other than people may be finally paying attention to the new access restrictions.

Thefts on Wellesley road on 13 august

On thursday 13 august on wellesley road a thief gained entry to a block and proceeded to open mail and delivered parcels to see what the value was of the contents. A set of keys were also stolen which caused particular concern and expense in changing locks. Property was stolen also namely a Blue Carrera Subway mountain hybrid bicycle which has a distinctive saddle with a russian hammer & sickle logo. And a `BELL` sticker on the frame. It has security makings registered with the police so if anyone comes across such a bicycle do let me know. In the mean time I think everyone needs to be extra vigilant to the fact that W4 is being targeted by thiefs. This ordeal has been extremely concerning not to mention stressful as to the implications of what might happen if we are targeted again. So frustrating!

New Chiswick Pool

With all Fusion leisure facilies still closed whilst in other councils they have reopened, isnt it time for another company like Better which are open in LBHF and Kensington to take over the running of these vital facilities.

New Traffic and Parking Measures are harming your town

Dear Fellow Chiswickians,I've found the link for you to have your say about this 'trial' period of traffic and parking situation.https://haveyoursay.hounslow.gov.uk/traffic-and-transport/streetspace-feedback/(might need to copy and paste it into your browser.)If you feel strongly about helping support and saving local business I urge you to give the council your opinion.Lets support balanced consultative schemes that take into account the need to address the parking, traffic, business and environment for businesses AND the community needs.Many thanksSimon

Turnham Green Terrace Northbound

I actually feel sorry for any driver getting a fine for breaking this ban. The signage is abysmal, the notice next to Elliot Road is obscured by, well, the sign for Elliot Road and once committed to a left turn, no driver will notice the inadequate sign at the start of the Terrace.It's very clear from the amount of vehicles that drive northbound that this is an utter failure by LBH.

What difference does a day make.

A LotPeople coming to the UK from France and the Netherlands must quarantine for 14 days from Saturday.Now there’s a stampede to get back before Saturday.Anyone that’s been in one of the infected areas should of been made to quarantine, from when the Government decided to put the measures in place.Not give them a few days to rush back with the virus.

Insurance claim advice

Hi AllI hope you’re all well. Is anyone on this forum au fait with dealing with buildings insurance and an unhelpful neighbour? I think I know the answer to my question but the lady at the insurance company is useless.
