Damage to a noted local landmark in Bedford Park W4
Vandals have defaced the war memorial at St Michaels and All Angels Church by prising off and stealing about half of the metal plaques that list the names of the dead. The offence took place overnight on Monday 1 st June and Tuesday 2 nd June
The Tabard pub is very close by as are local restaurants at Bedford Corner. If any resident was there on that evening they may have noticed suspicious behaviour or had your suspicions aroused. The Police Crime Management Team would welcome a call if you had any information to offer (however limited).
Vandalising a public monument commemorating our war dead is now a severely punishable offence and regrettably it is not the first time this memorial has been targeted.
For those who need to know, our Church Archivist is very happy to provide detailed photographs of all of the missing plaques and their inscriptions, taken as part of his centenary project commemorating the congregation and residents of Bedford Park during the First World War.

The Street Environment
Roads and Streets
Highways and streets management has been evident across Chiswick with a large exercise in street sweeping and gully clearance keeping dust down and debris away from the drains during this summer of mixed weather.
Trees
Tree management and surgery carried out by Hounslow Highways and its agents has been evident in several areas of Chiswick. The cycle of tree life and growth means that not all trees will be pruned (or pollarded) at the same time, but I am assured by the teams that they will be back in evidence at the change of seasons to carry on keeping Chiswick green.
Litter and Waste
The Chiswick councillors led by Councillor Ron Mushiso organised a litter picking activity centred on Turnham Green last Sunday which was very well attended and all the Chiswick wards in Hounslow had a visit. This activity is a regular event at the end of each month and really makes a difference to the visual surroundings. If you would like to assist in the effort please make contact with Councillor Mushiso.
Contacting the Councillor Team
Please continue to contact your local councillor team in Chiswick directly, if you are getting no satisfaction from direct contact with the administration. (details are below)
The Opposition Conservative Party has an absolute certainty that in future we can do better than this.
We make it clear; The only way to properly deliver local government is to listen at all times and learn what people need, and understand residents’ cares, provide moderate and progressive responses and deliver changes not just promises, that are supported and delivered after proper consultation.

Like Reading Articles Like This? Help Us Produce More This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism. Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets. We've always done that and won't be changing, in fact we'd like to do more. However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do. We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area. A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site. One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute. If you do support us in this way we'd be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor. For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least one article a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you'd like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site. |
