Wonderful few days away in the New Forest. 17km bike ride. 8km walk. They did well!

Donkey Wood, along the River Crane in Feltham. An absolute treat as always for a walk. Lorna calls it “a hidden gem.” Always amazed there aren’t more people - especially on a late summer day like today - I wonder how we could get more people visiting? @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social #RiverCrane

A couple of weeks ago Cllr Sharma and I visited the demolition taking place at Charlton House and Albany Parade. Certainly some feelings of nostalgia but good to see things moving forward. Steve Curran’s old hard hat was please to get an outing too!

Great to take a visit to Lampton Parkside with the leader this week. The site of the former civic centre will ultimately see 950 new homes, right on the edge of Lampton Park. Including amazing views! @hounslowcouncil.bsky.social

I can’t help but be disappointed by this. A very poor recent record in the league but winning a European cup is fantastic. Anyhow, onward, and I do believe the main character in the play “Dear England”‬⁩ is available still. 👀

What good news!! Hopefully we can now begin having some meaningful conversations with the owners on the future of the site. Something that actually meets the needs of the borough’s residents.
