Devonshire Road, new traffic restrictions

I see that there's no traffic allowed between 6pm - 8am. Seems a bit weird, no? The street is pretty busy with pedestrians during shopping hours, much less going on late evening and very early morning. What's the sense in that?There may be a very good reason, but it sure eludes me.

Yes drivers have no hesitation in breaking rules when they know they can. Probably the same people who complain about cyclists doing it.

The restriction isn't enforced and everyone on the Glebe Estate knows it isn't.

I'm afraid that the participants in the scavenger hunt have all disappeared mysteriously.We're going to organise a scavenger hunt hunt to find them ...

Really no news on the trumpeted scavenger hunt organised by OneChiswick and Penny from the lighting company? Nothing to report?

Anybody heard how the scavenger hunt went?

That's Hounslow Council for you ....if it had a brain it would be dangerous.ie Recently they returned over a million pound in local business rate grants received from central government."Help struggling local small businesses with money off their rates" " the Government said. Hounslow : "Ok, well we will only help some, including big multi national companies around Heathrow and give the rest back!"

This is the shopping experience the shopkeepers and Chiswick Councillirs think is vital for the success of businesses on Devonshire Road and Turnham Green Terrace.

The traders and Councillor Biddolph lobbied for the road to be open to through traffic during trading hours. They were under the delusion that through traffic = more trade. You are quite right that it is senseless and it is self-defeating. But there is no helping those traders on Devonshire Road. They are determined to make their businesses less successful.
