E3 bus

Is going on some crazy diversion, eastbound down the A4 and then to Chiswick school without stopping. Apparently they're doing something to the bridge at Chiswick station, the one that was supposed to be mended at the end of summer this year. Grrrr.

Front page article on H&F council changing the light bulbs on the bridge.

"The council says the works combine cutting-edge engineering with careful heritage preservation, ensuring the bridge remains one of the world’s most distinctive suspension structures." Distinctive?  Sure is but for all the wrong reasons.

RIP Zipcar

Very disappointing to see the news about Zipcar. I did go without a car for a few months and used car clubs vehicles when needed and found them invaluable. My personal circumstances changed which meant I had to own a car and now I do wonder would it be possible ever to go back to using car clubs if provision is much less than it used to be.I was surprised to see how much was being charged for bays, particularly in Ealing. As with dockless bike hire, councils need to be careful that they don't undermine good transport iniatives by seeking to maximise revenues out of providers.

Farewell Sir Tom Stoppard

The death of Tom Stoppard has been announced. A self confessed conservative with a small "c" he always championed the individual against the state. He loathed communism and indeed all authoritarian regimes. Coming to Britain at a young refugee he fully absorbed the British respect for free thinking and tolerance of others opinions. A reminder if we needed one, of how our intellectual life is enhanced by the contributions of "outsiders".

Christmas volunteering

Hi all,I'm alone on Christmas Day. This is all fine, I'm with my brilliant family the day after. But I can be useful on the 25th. Anyone know good local volunteering opportunities to stop me staying in bed? I've seen past efforts but none recently dated.

Oxford Road North closure

There are signs out saying Oxford Road North is closed but it is still open. The TFL app says it’s closed until 9th December with the 440 bus diverted but they are still going down the road. Does anyone know what is happening?

Stitching Room need your help :)

As the holiday season approaches, we often find ourselves wrapped up in the joy of giving, purchasing gifts and enjoying warm drinks. However, I want to take a moment to reflect on those who are in desperate need of our support, like Maisie.Maisie is a brave girl who faces a challenging battle for her life. In her country, she cannot access the surgery she desperately needs and must raise £50,000 to make it a reality. It's easy to overlook the struggles of others, but this holiday season, we have the power to make a difference.Instead of spending money on that extra cup of coffee or another gift, why not consider donating even a small amount? Every pound counts and can help bring Maisie one step closer to the surgery that could save her life.Let's come together and show that kindness and compassion truly matter. Remember, what we give often comes back to us in unexpected ways.This Christmas, let's make a meaningful impact and give the gift of hope to Maisie.You can contribute to her cause and learn more about her journey at Maisie's Mission to Live.Thank you for your generosity and for helping spread the word. Let's make this holiday season one of giving and hope!Please read Maisie Story below.Thank Youhttps://www.maisiesmissiontolive.co.uk/https://www.gofundme.com/f/maisies-fight-for-life?attribution_id=sl:710e20c6-647b-4bfe-bad9-2dab88477726&lang=en_GB&ts=1754832977&utm_campaign=fp_sharesheet&utm_content=amp13_c&utm_medium=customer&utm_source=copy_link

If you come on Friday night you will be welcomed with a glass of fizz.

EV & hybrid cars new additional tax

Following on from the budget, I'm wondering where I stand with my plug in hybrid. Currently I pay ''road tax'' but the talk is of charging plain EV drivers a sum per mile. Assuming the bill will be worked out at the MOT stage, I'll be charged for some miles that I drove via petrol which they will assume were electric battery miles. Anyone know (especially the plums at the treasury) how they propose to do the charging as I and others could still be paying the road tax as its primarily a petrol driven motor with c.30 miles on a charge?

What is going on with labour?

what a mess who would have thought that after the shenanigans with the Tories that Labour in 17 months could actually do even worse? It is truly shocking that number 10 are briefing against their own cabinet or so the press have us believe and mounting a leadership contest….surreal. Labour are truly unprofessional, lacking in any balance in terms of running the economy or the country and non of them have any leadership qualities. The scaremongering coming from RR is terrifying re the budget, Labour are making matters in every area 10 time worse…they are embarrassing!

£1,000 envelope in Hounslow

Is anyone else really angry about the story on the radio news this morning that the London Borough of Hounslow has fined a lady from Feltham £1,000 for 'fly tipping' a cardboard envelope (with her name and address left on) outside her flat, on top of a pile of boxes, as there was no room for it in the overflowing bin? It is said they are doing this as an example and to crack down on fly tipping and they will not back down, even though the lady concerned can ill afford it, suffering as a result, and insisting the entire fine is paid in one go, as they do not offer payment plans. They have, however, given her a further 30 days to pay it (their generosity of spirit knows no bounds). It seems that they want to line their coffers from innocent individuals, while big companies get away with so much more. Absolutely dreadful and scary to say the least!I would be interested to know how many users or companies have been fined for ebikes abandoned on pavements, sometimes in great numbers at a time, which block them and create further hazards for those of us who use them. None, I'm sure.I do hope there will be further (peaceful) protest about this and the lady concerned is exonerated, rather than martyred. Meantime, always remove personal details from everything and shred them!

Chiswick's perennial problem with fallen leaves

It comes this time every year, uncleared slushy pavements, often turning to ice and making walking hazardous, We sadly know that the local council will not get around to clearing the problem any time soon. Many small beer criminals are given Community sentences by magistrates and judges, but I have never witnessed such people fulfilling their unpaid work. Why cannot the local police liaise with the council and give these wrongdoers retribution for their sins by asking them to clear our streets from leaves.

94 bus

It will be a pity not to have the 94 bus serving all the way to Piccadilly. I take this bus to go to work . We won't have a direct bus to the west end anymore.  We have the 9 from piccadilly to Hammersmith but you have to change bus and often pay twice if too much traffic or waiting for the second bus (especially later in the evening ). I'm not a fan of the pedestrian of Oxford Street anyway, maybe they should focus on the money laundering shops instead

Out of control dog attack - Chiswick House today

⚠️ Serious Dog Attack at Chiswick House Today – Please Be AwarePosting anonymously for now, but I want to alert local dog owners to a serious incident that occurred today at Chiswick House.My well-trained, gentle dog was attacked for the second time in three months by the same woman’s uncontrolled and aggressive dog. On both occasions, the owner made no attempt to control her dog (a male Vizsla), refused to put it on a lead, and responded with hostility and complete disregard for the safety of others. During today’s incident, she repeatedly shouted at her dog and threw objects at it, yet told me “not to panic” while my dog was being injured.Today’s attack resulted in a deep puncture wound to my dog’s shoulder, with significant bleeding. It is clear this dog is not safe around others, and the owner’s behaviour suggests she is fully aware of this. The fact she was walking so late in the day raises further concern that she may be avoiding other owners due to her dog’s behaviour.I have reported the incident to the police and to Chiswick House. If no action is taken, I will also put up posters so other dog owners can recognise and avoid this individual. I have multiple photos and videos of both the woman and her dog - from today and from the previous attack in September - which I will be providing to the authorities. For some reason I haven’t been able to attach images here.I am sharing this to make sure other dog owners are aware of the ongoing risk. If anyone else has experienced similar behaviour from this same dog or owner, please come forward. The combination of an aggressive dog and an owner who refuses to take responsibility is a genuine danger to other pets and potentially to people as well. This situation cannot continue unchecked.

Halfords Autocentre

Has anyone had their car serviced at this garage on Power Road (formerly Iversons). The independent garage that I have used has become progressively more and more expensive and Halfords appear to be offering reasonable value as well as easier parking.

What are the current opening hours for the Royal Mail Parcel Office?

Can anyone tell me the opening hours for the Royal Mail parcel office located beside the Chiswick Post Office?I’ve waited in all day for a parcel to be delivered, and I get a notice that I’m not in!  This is not the first time this has happened, and it’s really annoying, so it's a trip to the parcel office, but I cannot find any online information about the current opening hours (I’ve gone before and found it closed).  If anyone knows the current opening hours, I’d be very grateful!

Pathetic Journalism

Again and again we see cases of journalistic catastrophising!  Today we see a typical example.  A Guardian HEADLINE of  ‘Households face SHOCK increase in Energy Bills from January”. After reading the lengthy article it appears that households, with average usage (£1728 per annum)  will see bills increase by 28pence a month or just over £3 per annum!  Really!!  What a shock!  Many people will now lose sleep worrying. Their Christmas celebrations will be spoilt by the Guardian advising that bills will increase. And in the real world people are losing their homes in Ukraine.

Venezuela

I see that in the last 4 hours, Venezuela's airspace has been emptied and all Planes are diverting around. Normally, the airlines are tipped off in advance, or are warned that something has happened and reported from a flight that, as a precaution, the airspace is closed down. Is something planned to happen from either side? Or just a precautionary measure. All we need is another conflict going on

Trump is a Bully

surreal according to the press reports Trump is negotiating on behalf of Ukraine so they give up territory that Russia has taken by force, plus reduce their military, plus who knows what……Trump is completely ignorant and clearly does not respect any country. I pray the EU steps up we can NOT have a monster like Putin invading any country and gaining. Time to send a real message to trump butt out. We all know what happens next Putin will keep coming and war will happen. Trump wants a win for himself he doesn’t care about the damage and signal it gives, he is a BULLY.

Mouse inside my bathroom wall!

Mouse inside my bathroom wall! I am on first floor and had a long-term illegal pet last year, thus the virtual hermetic sealing around every skirting board, pipe and cable holes in my flat I have humane traps around the bathroom, but not much use if said mouse is still inside the wall! I have been serenading said visitor in half hour stints of 5 different so-called rodent repellant soundtracks on YouTube, Iron Maiden, Cannible Corpse, Full of Hell, currently trying Petbrick with Napalm Death lined up..... Because it sounds as though it is trying to break through the grouting in tiled wall, the volume of the scratching/digging is reverberating all around my flat, driving me up the walls! I am meant to be finishing some work, but can only focus on rodent noise.      I am looking at 2 options right now, either I dig out a tile or 2, then ask landlord for forgiveness, or just take piles and folders of work down the pub, hope this visitor gives up or makes it into loaded humane traps.    Anyone have a better plan I could try?????

Termination of 94 AND 7 bus routes

As the news here suggests there is a new consultation from TFL that highlights the intention to curtail the 94 bus route at Marble Arch once Oxford St is pedestrianised. However this will also affect the 7 bus route from East Acton.This is undoubtedly to reduce the congestion on the back roads but it unfairly penalises West Londoners from reaching the West End by bus without either walking up to a new bus stop or taking the tube which is more expensive and sometimes less convenient. The 12 is long gone and the 23 has already been rerouted via Piccadilly and Park Lane leaving West London with no bus access to Oxford Street. This is frankly the last straw.  Please have your say at https://haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/oxford-street-transport-highways
