Chiswick town centre questionnaire

Hi, I recommend everyone completes the Chiswick town centre questionnaire on the front page.  It's interesting and you can read other's comments too.  Put in all your grievances about the road closures and what you want to see in Chiswick.

Yes, will complete it but will LBH take any notice ?

On first glance, it doesn’t look to be a very user-friendly survey.

Done. I went easy on the swear words ;-))

This consultation feels potentially unrepresentative to me.As far as I can see all responses are anonymous to participants, except to Commonplace software house and perhaps LBH as the initiator.You can only agree with (like) submissions, but not disagree (not like!) them, which could be used to create a biased picture.As well as Jo Public, submissions could be made by developers, planners and  officers or councillors. They can only be boosted by "agrees" and not countered by "disagrees" and responders cannot know who is making the suggestions or proposals.Here on this forum anonymity is not allowed, we know who is posting and anyone can disagree, and usually does! I wish it was the same for this consultation.Anyone agree?Have I missed something, or misunderstood how it works?

Hounslow are doing the same exercise on Brentford town centre, and if you've been through there recently you will know that it's all but been demolished! I think it's fair to say - people are not impressed, to put it mildly!

On the map I clicked on any red blob and was able to read some comments - I merely clicked "agree" or was it "like" and then I think was able to post a comment of my own - it took ages to do this as you have to trawl the entire length of the Hi Rd map doing the same thing for each blob.  Then didn't understand all the other things I had to fill in for each blob I'd commented on, so bleary eyed I gave up.  This morning got 4 separate emails:-"Without confirmation your agreement won't be published.Thanks for contributing to Chiswick Town Centre Map.

Jeff is on the money.If you have any thoughts on anything not included you aren't able to contribute. To do so in the "other" category is to get buried somewhere. I wanted to comment on general public realm and pedestrian infrastructure (or lack thereof) and had no choice but to have that lumped in with two other topics. So either you pick the categories provided or else. And that will skew results and be taken as evidence. Not representative. But set up with bias.
