Hounslow West 13/03/2010

Picked up quite a lot today and also saw Labour out and about (wonder how much they picked up?).  Here goes:

1) Graffiti

I have already reported the following on Sutton Lane (reference 1083219):

I also noticed tagging on the wall at the entrance (not yet reported):

Near 2 Heathdale Avenue:

Near 1 Ferndale Avenue:

And the most odd of all opposite 42 Sutton Lane:

The following need some attention.  First near 14 Grosvenor Road:

Great to see on a Saturday:

5) Litter

Next to 54 Sutton Lane:

Next to 160 Martindale Road:

Barrack Road junction with Cardington Square:

6) Smashed glass

Near bridge on Sutton Lane:

7) Empty Properties

155 Wellington Road North has been empty for a while.  I will see if steps are being taken to bring it back into use?

A majority of the flats at St Pauls Court (off Standard Road) appeared to be empty:

But good to see the following in Wellington Road North now in use.  I remember chasing these when empty a 3 or so years ago:

8.) Beaversfield Park

Another Park looking really nice:

9) And

I could not help but notice the following on Staines Road:

Will report most sections (not section 9) on Monday morning.

Gurdwara Guru Nanak Nishkam Sewak Jatha

I attended the above in Martindale Road yesterday morning.  They gave me a lovely welcome.  I said a few words and I think that they were quite well received.  One thing I overlooked (which is unlike me) is asking whether they would consider flying the flag.  As people know, I love the flag and would like to see it flown a little more than at present.

The Labour Party can be critical of me for using the flag as much as they like – they are in a minority on this issue amongst many others.

Back to the Gudwara, it was a very different experience to the visit to Havelock Road in Southall for this was much smaller and the advantage in that is that was much easier to get closer to people.

I would welcome the chance to return or to visit any religious (or non-religious) establishment in the constituency.

Last Saturday in Hounslow West and Heston

Last Saturday morning, I saw the following opposite 3c Martindale Road, Hounslow:

Still no change in Dawn Close (junction with Martindale Road):

On 1 October, I received the following update:
“Photo no 3 it is an electrical feeder pillar with no identification on the cabinet. We have forwarded this to our Street Works Manager to establish the ownership of the this apparatus.  Once the ownwership is established we shall forward it to the relevant Statutory Authority for necessary action.”

The following was in Heston Road near the entrance to St Leonard’s Church.  It looks like there was once a bin but now only the remains of that bin and some litter.  Will see if this can be replaced?

Walk along Bath Road yesterday

I had a meeting over lunch in Hounslow West.  I walked to the High Street from there and thought I would take some pictures on my way.

The first two were taken on the junction of Martindale Road and Bath Road:

The first of the two above is dangerous and I hope that the second can be tidied up a bit.

The following was taken in Dawn Close on the junction with Martindale Road.   I had previously reported this so will be asking why it remains in this condition:

The following was taken outside 269 Bath Road.  These amount of bags do not look very pleasant.  I will find out whether there is a schedule for collecting these and whether it was appropriate for them to be here on a Thursday afternoon?

I then saw the following a few feet away and this sign needs to be repaired:

 The following dip in the footway was taken outside 195 and 197 Bath Road:

A lot cleaner as the numbers got lower:

I do not think that a diversion was in place so uncertain why this sign was in Bath Road?

And, the clutter of estate agent signs near the junction with Steve Biko Way continues – also very bad on the junction of Hibernia Way and Staines Road, Hounslow and near Hollygrove Close:

Will report each of the above.

A few pics from a morning out in Hounslow West

As always a few things to report.  First, the drain gulley in Trinity Close (junction of Cambridge Road) could be tidied up:

This bin on Cambridge Road (junction with Selwyn Close) looks rather full – will check the schedule for emptying it out (same applies for bin in Cambridge Road junction with Martindale Road):

The following flytip is in Clare Road:

And the following was in Dawn Close (junction with Martindale Road):
