Chiswick IRIS Campaign Launched To Tackle Street Clutter | ||||
Initiative aims to get abandoned and irrelevant signage removed
The recent Chiswick Area Forum saw the launch of IRIS a campaign to rid the W4 area of irrelevant and abandoned signage. IRIS stands for Identify and Report Irrelevant Signage and the group made a short presentation to the meeting on 12 October to explain its aims. A group of local people have identified a surge in signage in the area and are using the Fix My Street app to report it to the council. Hounslow Council have already removed the prominent abandoned signs on the Chiswick Roundabout and Burlington Lane shown above. Tim Mack explained as he showed examples of street clutter to the meeting, “IRIS is a beautiful flower and hence the name to acknowledge the good work of gardeners in our environment.” He thanked Hounslow Council and Fix My Street for help in removing signs so far and Cllr Gabriella Giles for her support for the campaign. He asked people in Chiswick to report as many signs as possible over the next month to make it easier for the Council to pick up several irrelevant and abandoned signs in one go.
