Some interesting views on here.Personally speaking, I'll never buy into any notion of Brentford as some kind of 'destination' in terms of its commercial or leisure offer. It isn't a transport hub, it's a place you go through to get to somewhere else. And hence sometimes I think aspiration is a long way from reality.Distancing myself from what I do professionally, this never-ending emphasis upon growth, particularly in terms of housing, is something I find far more terrifying than Trump or Brexit. Like much of London, our area is already at its capacity in terms of infrastructure, be it roads, public transport, schools, medical or leisure facilities, yet we're told we need to provide thousands more homes within the capital to meet existing demand (forget future demand).Sadly no party or individual seems willing to stand up and say "population growth will be the death of this planet" and actually taking steps to forcibly inhibit population growth, and until they do quite frankly the whole planet is screwed (unfortunate pun).
