Please find below a statement on this isssue from Cllr Curran, Leader of Hounslow Council. "Regular users of Duke’s Meadow will be aware that we have had a number of difficulties this summer in this much-loved park. In particular we experienced incursions by travellers and an increased level of reports of anti-social behaviour which have generated many complaints. “We believe that we need to consider more effective methods of dealing with such problems and to build on the excellent work that the Dukes Meadows Trust have done to revitalise the parklands. "Our aim at the Chiswick Area Forum on 8 September is simply to introduce our intention to draw up a masterplan for increasing use of the park and to establish what improvements are required and the ways we can fund them. "We are firmly committed to developing the masterplan with the local community – including local councillors and the Dukes Meadow Trust. This is the start of the discussion not the end and we intend to engage the Trust in this process, including the selection and brief for the masterplanners. "Dukes Meadows is an incredible asset for our residents and we will ensure that everyone who has an interest will have their say." |
