Bin Inspectors?

Last night, I was woken up by what I assumed was a fox trying to get into the food bins, when I looked out the window I could see 2 men (either side of the road) looking in peoples bins. They were wearing high vis jackets and had what looked like night vision googles on. Does anyone know if Hounslow council send out inspectors to check peoples recycling?

Chiswick Rate Books 1874 to 1905

When I was researching the Sulhamstead Estate I found some information in the Kellys Directories which are easy to read and understand. After I ran out of those to look at, I started looking at the Rate Books. I took loads of photos that were for me to study and I didn’t intend to publish them, but as I cannot go to the library to look at more of them, I’ve started a website.I have added all the photos I have taken so far and I have indexed them as well. The list of place names goes from Alfred Cottages to Wilton Villas, with a few other places that no longer exist and lots that do. There is the High Road from Bleak House to Devonshire Road and the Glebe Estate from 1874-80. Lots of the Sulhamstead House/Estate from 1874-1905. There are a few pages around the Old Packhorse from 1881-87 because I hadn’t worked out what I was reading. There is also some of the ABC estate from 1895-99 and part of Homefield Road from 1894-1905.There are places like the Coach & Horses and part of Dale Street that appear because they were on the pages I was looking at. Chiswick House and a few other places are also there as well.When the Library reopens I am going to have a look at the books from 1873 to 1836, if anyone has any roads they want added in those years just let me know.https://chiswickratebooks.weebly.com/

Care for our Carers

Hello Everyone, As some of you may already know, I work for a GP Surgery in Chiswick.I haven't posted in a while, but thought of you all, to help us put together some treats of acknowledgement for the social Care staff in our Chiswick care homes. Their efforts are 24/7 and 7 days a week whilst having to face these very challenging circumstances. We are looking to you for donations or suggestions of where we could source some treats for them. Looking forward to hearing all of your suggestions. Many Thanks in advance.Jackie & the team at Chiswick Health Practice

No management

The UK has nearly double the daily infection-rate than any other European country, after 4 weeks lockdown those numbers should go rapidly down, what is going wrong, not to mention the 13+% death-rate. No testing no PPE, just promises, not a word from Prime-minister, If this is caring on The UK will be the country with the worst management of this crisis in Europe.

Is the Farmer’s Market still open on Sundays?

Hi,A quick google search does not reveal to me whether the Farmer’s Market off Duke’s Meadow’s is still operating on Sundays. I recall some debate weeks ago about whether it should be open but now I’m wondering whether it is. I need some stuff for Sunday Lunch and would enjoy the outdoor browse of whatever stalls are still running.Any input would be appreciated.Thanks,Joe

COVID-19 fraud exposed by vaccine ‘developed in a few weeks’

The script unfolds as each day passes; but what will be in the ‘vaccine’? Why are they so keen to inject us with it? Will we have a choice? I suspect not..

Morrisons

They provide a great selection of fruit and veg, especially their wonky veg. Bought a 1kg bag of wonky carrots for 40p! However, the downside is the number of shoppers in there who don't respect social distancing, much less desirable.

Mobikes

Just seen the main post about the reduction of available bikes on the front page. I emailed customer support earlier this week enquiring if bikes had been removed because of Covid19. They confirmed this had happened. I suggested that an email to users or updates via twitter or via their app would have been welcome or helpful, but this still hasn't happened. So don't bother renewing your passes for now.

Please employ local builders if you can

I know many people cannot even think of spending money as jobs have been lost etc - but there are some who maybe are working from home and the income has not changed For the last few years we have used local Chiswick builders WizMar for two huge projects and they are amazing - honest, kind, creative and with a great team that show up on time, work all day and keep a clean site. They are usually booked so far in advance its hard to get in but with the crisis work has dried up and the staff are desperate for work - any job outside - repointing, or a new garden wall or new paving etc - they are open to all jobs to help keep the staff employed call Marek if you have any jobs you want to discuss WIZMAR Builders Flat 1, 2 Sant Dunstans Gardens W3 6QG Tel: 07950375003 you also can call me for details on work they have done margie 07427167337 VAT reg # 108 8898 65

Kew The Music - Status?

Has anyone seen any updates on Kew The Music this Summer? I would like to think the lock-down will be over by then, but it is looking increasingly unlikely.I suspect we will be challenged with seeking refunds.

Rough Sleepers

I am really pleased that many people sleeping on the streets have now been provided with accommodation. I hope that this will lead to them being provided with permanent places to sleep. Can anybody advise whether, once they receive accommodation, they are also provided with food?

Downing Street Daily Briefings

Anyone else starting to switch off from this? I think there is a lot of repetition in terms of statements and facts which is proving tedious. The preoccupation with journalists quizzing the government about when and under what circumstances the lockdown will end isn't helping anyone. I would prefer if the briefings were held weekly and journalists were limited to one question only. The government, along with the NHS and army should be left to get on with it. Thoughts?

Dates of residence

When I was a child my family lived at a particular address for a few years but I can’t remember the exact dates we moved in and out of this home. Presumably there are records of this somewhere. Does anyone know how I could go about accessing such records?
