Stop the eviction of the Brentford Houseboat Community
We call on Hounslow borough council to Cancel the planned £5.45 Million Super marina planned for Watermans Park TW80DS and engage with the current boat owners and too adopt the Brentford Houseboat Communities low cost compromise development plans already in the councils possession.
Why is this important?
This Will:
Save the council an estimated £4 million pounds to spend on schools ect
Stop the environmental destruction of an essential tidal stretch of the Thames
Save the valuable kingfisher and heron nesting sites
Stop the reduction of the size Watermans park to make way for a car Park
Save a valued community of local residents
Reduce the gentrification of a once diverse area of London
This thriving community of Brentford residents have lived and worked in this area for up to 20 years. We are being forced out by Hounslow Borough Council because this area has become a magnate for developers. Selling over priced glass boxes often to overseas investors, changing the character of this historic part of West London.
We are not against change and want to be included in the regeneration of the area. These boats are our homes, much loved and in some cases Nationally reconsidered historic vessels with some of them making valuable contributions to one or both war efforts.
Please help us convince the council to adopt our low cost, low environmentally impacting solution and save our much loved homes.
