Mrs Keen is obviously getting rattled about the complaints being made about her local performance. We're talking here about her performance involving ALL the Constituency.Her commumications with the Constituency have been poor. Her February 2005 Newsletter,,delivered to me in April seem to suggest that it was a regularly published newsletter. Yet I suspect it was an urgent one-off.At the time of the Crime scares in Chiswick in the Autumn of 2004..when the local population needed to be re-assured that the Police were on the job...and that WE were not being short-changed in our policing**...Mrs Keen failed to turn up at any of ther Police Consultative Group meetings at the Civic Centre.** The recent outgoing Police Commander for the Hounslow Borough actual said ..in my presence... that "WE WERE BEING SHORTCHANGED IN OUR POLICING"During the same period ..a full house of locals turned up at the Chiswick Area Meeting to hear an important Police Report .and to ask questionS. Mrs Keen, at the sametime, was around the corner at a Fair Trade /World Poverty meeting with Hilary Benn. She apparently left that meeting early...but not to pop up the Road to meet concerned Chiswick residents.Her speciality seems to be making trips to local places..without forewarning US. So, after the event we hear that she went to a Labour Party fund-raising event with Mr Prescott at the Curry House in Ferry Lane.Then last Sunday to a Church in St John's Road, Isleworthwith Gordon Brown."Sxd you lot" she may well say "I've got my £100,000 plus job to hold down""Where's my Constituency?" "Well its Kew Gardens area and Old Deer Park...just as I used to say on my Website"I will be so sad and angry (with my co-constituents!) if she retains her seat.
