Perhaps I could add to the debate by bringing in a little past history. When planning finally gave consent to the refurbishment of the Langdale Centre Grand Union became involved to a)source groups who would be able to use the resource and b)apply for funding for the upkeep and running of the Community resource side of the building. It was always in the plans for the Langdale Centre to have a Hounslow Homes section to service housing enquiries and needs. There was a steering group set up involving interested stakeholders, including the Youth Service, the local PCT et al, and because of Grand Unions connections with many stakeholders, and their experience in gaining funding they were asked to be involved.I am surprised Councillor Andrews that you do not recall that Councillor Genevieve Hibbs was a prominent member of this steering group, perhaps you coould direct some of your questions to her?
