Anti-social behaviour

Strand on the Green Association is aware of a group of youths who have been violently kicking people’s front doors over the last two weekends.  They were observed on Thames Road on Sunday 16 April mid-afternoon and on Saturday 22 April at approximately 9pm.  We have reported these incidents to the police via 101 and also contacted the Chiswick Riverside police and provided them with video footage.  There are about 6 or 7 youths, aged 14-16, one on a bike and one on a scooter.It seems this a "thing" from TikTok called the "heartbeat' challenge and it seems to be going on in other places: see https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11826671/amp/TikTok-heartbeat-challenge-craze-sees-yobs-bashing-doors-London.html If you have experienced this we would recommend informing the local police by emailing them at ChiswickRiverside@met.police.uk.

Average Speed Camera Calibration

Does anyone know if these cameras need to be calibrated regularly to be legally enforceable? My wife has received a “Notice of Intended Prosecution” and the calibration certificate is signed and dated May 2016. Does this invalidate it?

Burlington Lane fiasco

John Todd is right“He called for a rethink alongside other Grove Park schemes, and for the replacement of the council’s current “piecemeal” measures with a single scheme which allows for access only for drivers registered in the borough, as well as their visitors, similar to that implemented in Hammersmith and Fulham.”I suggested similar around 3 years ago. They have the technology to do it. But maybe not the skills. Or the will.

New Hammersmith Bridge designs

I know these visualisations rarely match reality but I like the look of Foster Cowi's designs for the new bridge. In a way it is a shame that, if approved, this scheme would only last for two years as it separates out pedestrians from traffic and would mean you could see vistas in both directions crossing the bridge. Presumably, a design with a pedestrian walkway added wouldn't be allowed on a Grade II listed bridge but there may be a short period in which riverside walks in the area get even better.

After School Nanny Required

I would be grateful for any recommendations for an after school nanny to look after our seven year old son three or four days per week during the term time with some additional cover required over the school holidays. Our home and his school are both in Grove Park. Unfortunately our existing nanny has had to return home at short notice. Spanish speaking would be a plus. Hours are 3:15-6:30pm.

British Airways vouchers

I have a voucher as a result of the pandemic which is due to expire in September.I will not be able to use it by then but is very likely I could by the year end.I have been rejected from getting a refund as BA say the flight went ahead.Does anyone know a way to get it extended or get the cash back?I know someone took them to court and won but this was for an Avios booking which is somehow diffrent to my booking.

Chiswick Gators

Really surprised to read that chiswick gators are looking for a new venue one of the reasons is disrepair of the school sports hall? I thought that the  money made at the school carboots each month are to be able to benefit the school & fund any disrepairs?

dishwasher repair

Hi I keep getting an E15 error.  Has anyone got a recommendation for someone to fix.  There seems to be quite a few web sites that offer a fixed fee fix.  I used one successfully for my washingmachine but can't remember which one I used.
