Councillor Guy Lambert's weekly Reports improving!

We must ... well I do ... give credit to Guy Lambert who has now relinquished his Hounslow Council 'Cabinet' role.His current Report (on the front page)reads well. Informative and with a bit of bite.He must now feel more relaxed in not having such an extensive portfolio ...and health permitting, he should be able to further concentrate on Brentford matters.I liked the informative reference to the Honeywell building and it's long empty neighbour across the road etc.It was a good read ... compared with some airy fairy Reports before ... which seemed to skip over feedback on the meetings he attended.So, an improvement is my view!Like others ...I wish him well.

Hounslow Council are the biggest disaster going!. Any Council that hands out lumps of tax payers money for Covid relief to huge multinationals based in the borough like  BA, UPS, Regus, Verisure, Brinks, etc BUT deliberately refused to give Covid relief help to small local struggling businesses is utterly scandalous. However, I have found Cllr Lambert to be extremely engaging and very helpful. The one (only one!) shinning light in the administration!

Hmmm, you sure about that? Still, he’s got all that free time now to enjoy.

Guy was not booted off the cabinet but you carry on telling yourself that if it makes you feel better.

‘Guy bashing’? Hilarious. If the aforementioned councillor was a bit more honest in what he says then maybe I’d have some respect for him.He’s such a paragon of virtue he was booted off the cabinet after his disastrous failings at engaging the public in Brentford during the recent election campaign. Shouting at people on the High Street is okay if you are a Labour councillor it seems.Anyway, perhaps Lambert could fill us all in on what was really discussed at his LCC meeting last week.

Absolutely agree, don’t know why Simon manages to turn every topic/message into Guy bashing. Have a day off, tiresome and desperately lacking class…..

Andy Benson ● 295d

No Simon,it's the unwarranted personalised abuse that gets increasingly tiresome.

You haven't rattled my cage mate.As for Councillor Lambert I find his reports informative even though he doesn't represent my ward, other councillors would be wise to follow his example.

David Burke ● 297d

Oh dear, rattled your cages? What’s boring and predictable are cycling nuts running transport policy in London, to no benefit for anyone but henselves.If you want boring, keep reading Lambert’s musings.

Simon Hayes ● 297d

Dead right Mr.Iddon.

David Burke ● 297d

Why don't you change the record?The one you keep playing is boring and predictable.

Perhaps Guy Lambert could tell us all what was really discussed at his LCC meeting last Thursday. I understand that a Hounslow council officer was attending to give details of all the plans for the year ahead regarding the borough roads. That’s the information put out by Michael Robinson on the Hounslow Cycling Facebook page last week.Of course, lambert might think mere mortals aren’t worthy of being party to such information or he might have been too fuddled by the beer or his hearing aids might have been playing up again, but there will have been more discussed than he makes out in his blog.Do please enlighten us.

I think we should be grateful even for dull reports from local councillors and some of the ones from Chiswick can stray into that territory. Cllr Lambert's are always interesting and, even if the attempts at humour can sometimes miss, they are generally entertaining. I wonder in fifty years time if someone will use them as the basis for a thesis on local government in the early 21st century.
