Codswallop and betrayal.
So Hounslow's planners are recommending approval for the Duke of Northumberland's second planning application on Park Rd. allotments in spite of losing the first one at a public inquiry. Words of little comfort from the great and glorious Leader.'But Council leader Steve Curran – who is not on the Planning Committee – has warned that continued refusal will only result in the Duke returning with another plan, and fighting him will be costly. The proposal is supported by the West Middlesex Hospital because it will provide 30 homes for key workers.'Really? On what planet will 'key workers' from WMUH be able to afford posh pads built by the Duke? That is just a not so subtle try at tugging at the heartstrings that no-one on planet Earth could believe. It would be interesting to hear what staff at WMUH were consulted - pound to a penny they won't have been porters, nurses or any admin. staff, it will have been the highly paid executives. Frankly Cllr. Curran is pulling a fast one, if he believes that - there's a lot of us locally who find it laughable. What contempt he shows for the voters, disgraceful.
