Hounslow is a disgrace. They want to discourage driving yet allowed the building of a monstrous concrete car park in the middle of Brentford, without planning permission (subsequently granted retrospectively and the ghastly edifice painted in garish colours and designs as if that will hide its ugliness!)Of course, it’s well known that Hounslow is owned by Ballymore and other developers, so they get what they want while long-standing council tax payers are ignored.What these holier then thou zealots fail to recognise is that their policies aren’t working. Active travel isn’t increasing, in fact cycling has plummeted since the height of the pandemic and is below the levels of 2019.I imagine there will be some Labour losses in Hounslow as well as Ealing next year, it will it be enough?
