Hounslow Youth Counselling Service provides vital support for young people across the borough. It’s inexplicable that Hounslow Council have given them notice, out of the blue, after 38 years.
As opposition councillors, we’ll be pushing for them to reverse this decision.

A pleasure to speak in support of the Chiswick Flower Market at last night’s Licensing Panel.
We find out if the market’s licence will be renewed early next week - the council should be backing our local markets!

Loved visiting Hogarth Youth Centre the other week to see the brilliant work being done by the team there.
Such good news that the Dukes Meadows Trust has extended its partnership with the centre - I feel privileged to work with these two community groups!

A privilege to attend today’s moving Holocaust Memorial Day event at Chiswick School - we heard from Gloria Silver about her father Tony Chuwen’s experiences of, and dramatic escape from, Polish concentration camps.
We must never forget.

News that business confidence is plummeting may come as a surprise to Hounslow Labour, who said at last week’s council meeting that concerns around the budget were “scaremongering”.
