Syon Estate!!

I had occasion to walk along Hawthorn Road on Tuesday,the pavements were in such a disgusting state that I had to walk in the Road it is a bloody disgrace!!If Dog lovers want to take their dogs for a walk then they must be encouraged to pick their doggie poo up. I suggest that LBH impose a fine of £1000 for residents who do not clear their dogs mess up.It appears that they do not like to foul their own gardens however pavements are a different matter.

The great Tesco coupon mystery.......

Like many people I imagine we keep our Tesco points coupons and exchange them at Christmas, so today off we went. When we got to the till we were told that three of the coupons totalling £26 "had already been used"! Well as they are taken by the cashier when you use them that simply isn't possible is it? SO off we went to the customer services desk - who predictably said nothing to do with us - 'phone Clubcard. Having 'phoned Clubcard we were informed that the coupons were used in Essex back in April by someone called Gary!! We explained that this was ridiculous as we were sitting indoors with the coupons and anyway none of us here is called Gary let alone visited Essex. This has now been referred to Tesco's fraud investigation department - well - did you ever? We can only assume there's been a fault at Tesco's end or someone has hacked into their computer system and managed to download coupons  - weird or what?

More dealings done behind closed doors

According to the latest LBofH Forward Plan,Hounslow Council is proposing to give, without consultation, a 125 year lease of IPH land to the Blue School - The Blue School already have a short lease. As the land belongs to the Vestry Hall and Reading Room Trust, not LBofH, and this is tantamount to "selling the land", the Trust, i.e. LBofH as Trustee must surely need permission from the Charity Commission permission or they will be in breach of their duty?

One hour ago: Blatant flytipping at Morrison's Recycling unit

I'm an avid recycler..and am always particularly concerned with people putting the wrong things into clearing mark bins..thus causing contamination of the whole load.Just one hour ago I witnessed a white transit type van turn up at Morrisons..and the driver caste 3 or four black sacks of items into the Plastic Packaging skip. I could tell that something odd was was going on from the shape of the items poking through.I was going to challenge him and inspect the bags...but chickened out.I noted this 60 year old white slim chap wearing plimsoles was driving a van with the signage FINE DEECORATING,and  xxxx & Lynch.After he had scarppered off, I removed two bags from the skip and immediately saw paint tins, paint brushes, newspapers etc..and left them on the ground in front of the bin so that the Authorities could inspect them  Unfortunately my mobile wasn't working for some reason..and my calls to Hounslow Council failed.So I went into Morrisons and spoke to a supervisor who said the Manager would look into it using my clues. The lady said the dumping problem there was so serious.. that inaddition to being a nightmare each morning when they arrived for work..there was a possibility of closing the Unit down..such was the mess and contimation caused by a few.(The shambles at Tescos Osterley is another sight to see sometimes)On arrival home, I was able to phone Hounslow Council's complicated automated answering service... although ideally an emergency response would have helped.I see on Google that there is indeed a "Fine Decorators" called "Thomas Lynch" at 164 Ealing Road.I will visit them this afternoon. The chap will get an earful!

Benefit Fraud

Will Catriona McDonagh of Hope Close, Brentford 'who falsely claimed almost £95,000.00 in benefits' when found to be living with her partner be required to repay the money? The article re this case does not say whether this is the case. If required to replay the money, how will this be enforced? Finally, does claiming benefit falsely attract a criminal record?

Small Business Saturday on 7 December 2013

In the media, Mary Macleod MP, has joined forces with Karren Brady to launch the Conservative Small Business Campaign and encourage companies across the area to sign up.Whilst, Seema Malhotra MP, has joined forces with the 'Asian Boys Gang’ to launch her campaign.Out of so many businesses in our area they are not really representing the small businesses but themselves – SHAME!

The Fire brigade strike

Dear all,I have set up a facebook page to support the Fire Brigades fight against this governments proposals affecting their pensions. This page has been set up for Hounslow and Chiswick borough residents to join so that we can lobby Mary McLeod to fight against the proposals. In my opinion she is our borough representative in the government and if enough people join the group she should then fight the fire brigades corner. All I am asking is that if you agree with the Fire Brigade please go and like the page and invite people from within the borough who you think would join the cause. Here is the link to the page and thank youhttps://www.facebook.com/HounslowChiswickBoroughagainst60yearoldfiremen

Found old female staffie with pink collar on Boston Manor Road

I went out for a walk with the little man earlier this evening to get something from the Co-Op on Boston Manor Road, and saw a dog run out of Boston Manor Park and almost got hit by a car. We waited by the gates for a good while hoping someone would come along, but they didn't.We got hold of her and thankfully a kind dog walker offered to go back to his nearby house and get us a spare lead. He also said that he'd never seen her before and walks his dog in Boston Manor Park every day.I couldn't get hold of anyone at the council (or about 10 other places...) but luckily the RSPCA in Hanwell took him in overnight and hopefully they will get the wardens to pick him up (although it might be Ealing not Hounslow).Anyway, she is a brown and white staffie, quite old, with a pink collar, no name tag, no microchip. She was very friendly and not particularly hungry or thirsty, so think she has only been lost this afternoon. Here is a picture:http://i.imgur.com/EP0P6sv.jpgAnyway, if anyone knows anything please get in touch and I will put you in touch with the RSPCA in Hanwell.
