H28 Bus Route Changes: Meeting on Wednesday 9 December at 11.30 am

Transport for London is consulting on proposals to stop running the H28 in parts of Osterley and Isleworth.  It would mean no direct bus from these neighbourhoods to West Middlesex Hospital and other parts of the town.

Proposed new route for the H28 which will see the removal of a service to West Middlesex Hospital operating since 1995

TfL are running their consultation until 18 December 2015 and have delivered this consultation document to households in the area, they are also running an online survey which can be accessed here.

To offer residents an opportunity to find out more and complete their responses to this consultation, I have arranged a meeting from 11.30 am to 1.00 pm on Wednesday 9 December 2015, at space kindly provided by Thistleworth Tennis Club, 129A Ridgeway Road North, Isleworth, Middlesex, TW7 5LX.

Currently, the H28 stops very nearby.

TfL staff will be there to answer questions and carry paper copies of the survey for residents to complete.

Tea and coffee will be available too, courtesy of Thistleworth.

All are welcome.

Borough Road College: 11.11.2015

Pupils from Isleworth & Syon, The Green and Ashton House schools and local residents came together as they always do this day every year at the memorial outside the former teacher training college in Borough Road, Osterley and Spring Grove Ward.

Hounslow’s Middle Saxon recognition restored

On the way back from a meeting of the Mortlake Crematorium Board during the spring, safe on the north bank, it was disappointing to see the removal of the county coat of arms from near the borough boundary (with Kew, Surrey) at Kew Bridge Road, Brentford, Middlesex.

A few enquiries did not yield any sensible or credible reason to this son of the county but am pleased to present a new one, just installed by Hounslow Highways.  Many thanks to all involved.
