What a terrible scheme - There has been no consultation
Until recent weeks I had no idea at all about this scheme. How can that be when I live here? I now discover that it has been going on in a secretive way for a couple of years or more, with people - our neighbours in some parts of Grove Park - quietly promoting their own self-interests with Hounslow. It is very sad that such a thing could happen.There has been no consultation with many people in Grove Park about the proposed scheme, and that is an outrage! There are many issues here. For all of us that live in the Grove Park area it is our home, and we need to move easily around our home area without restriction. Then with traffic, I completely understand why nobody wants their roads used as rat runs. But if everything is shunted only onto Sutton Court Road, that will produce enormous problems. Sutton Court Road is already hugely congested (pre-Covid-19) at different times of day. The proposed plan would make it incredibly diffiult for people to get in and out of the area at key times of day - and that includes people who live here, people who work here, people making deliveries etc etc We all need to look carefully at what can sensibly be done that can help to improve the rat run situation etc. But not in a way that leaves the place in which we live impossibly congested on key thoroughfares, and like some kind of horrible restricted police state.By the way, regarding traffic, the closure of Hammersmith Bridge has affected Chiswick badly, and is something we should all be campaigning about far more vociferously.And the Chiswick Piazza. That will damage accessibility and trade for the wonderful shops that we all value so much. I personally would never have voted for spending a single penny on the ghastly project. I do hope that people who live in Grove Park will wake up and do their very best to resist these awful schemes. Thanks
