"Ouch! Feels like a lot of people on here don’t think of Gunnersbury as part of Chiswick proper. We are more than just the bit around the Business Park! "From May 2022 Turnham Green ward becomes Chiswick Gunnersbury ward. Its current boundary will extend to take in the whole of Gunnersbury Park, residents who live on the south side of Popes Lane, the shops and flats above them just beyond the junction with Lionel Road North and the residents of Lionel Road North. So, Gunnersbury's place as an area within Chiswick will be obvious to all (though, as you say, it always has been clear for many). The three Hounslow Chiswick wards will therefore be Chiswick Gunnersbury, Chiswick Homefields and Chiswick Riverside. PS Turnham Green ward currently includes not just the area around the business park but also the Gunnersbury Park Garden Estate (GPGE) - the black and white mock Tudor houses on the North Circular, opposite Gunnersbury Park, and around the Gunnersbury Triangle Tennis Club. We three Turnham Green ward councillors are very much aware that Gunnersbury is a part of our ward and that the largest part of it is very much in Chiswick even if the GPGE isn't (the GPGE also has a W3 postcode).
