Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group

Welcome to the Hospital Bridge Road Resident Action Group who are opposing development of Metropolitan Open Land.

[CPRE London @CPRELondon]

🚨 @Merton_Council Reject this proposal which will ruin the metropolitan open space.
🌳 We need mature trees.
🌳 We can’t wait hundreds of years for them to regrow

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

@jonslinn That a very real net loss for educational standards in the borough with many lives left much worse of as a result

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

@jonslinn What about the kids who went to Hampton, Teddington & Twickenham schools that were destabilised by it and had to go into special measures

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

@CPRELondon @LibDems The LibDems record in local government in London suggests they will not protect the green belt

In Richmond they allowed Turing House school to be built on Metropolitan Open Land

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

@jonslinn But the kids in Whitton, who would normally get priority do not.

Only 22 Whitton kids were admitted under criterion 6 (distance from site)

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

Why are we not surprised

@LBRUT All for preventing rat running on Nelson Road slip road in Whitton/Hounslow but could you please reconsider this design to allow cyclists through. Thanks. @munirawilson @RichmondCycling @RuthMayorcas @HounslowCycling

@munirawilson @LibDems Meanwhile in @munirawilson own constituency the #LibDems council is having to send homeless people to be housed outside London

She really doesn’t care about the impact on Brits!

@1troggy_FFC @LBRUT @AlexanderEhmann @Gareth_Roberts_ @LBRuT_Help We understand that many of the new drains do not have proper gully pots.

This means the sediment is not caught before it goes into the pipes that connect the drain to the main surface water sewer - resulting in blockages and flash floods

[Rob Trog @1troggy_FFC]

Flooding at junction of Hospital Bridge Road and Nelson Road @lbrut the crossing which will be used by dozens of schoolchildren in the morning is unusable. More drains that haven’t been cleared under this council @AlexanderEhmann @Gareth_Roberts_ @LBRuT_Help

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

Zebra Crossing damaged outside Turing House School on Hospital Bridge Road, Whitton.

@LBRUT_Help @Whittonvillage

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

@Whittonvillage Improvements should have been carried out Before Turing House School opened.

There have been numerous similar accidents....

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

Another crash on Hospital Bridge Road, Whitton; this time involving a car and a petrol tanker.

Shows how irresponsible it was of Richmond Council to allow Turing House School to open before improving road safety on this road.

@AlexanderEhmann @artgelling @AldredKeith @Whittonvillage @RichmondTransit @luton_paul @RichmondCycling @ShamrockSoup @LBRUT @Gareth_Roberts_ @TfL @sainsburys Therefore, you need to set up more monitoring stations to get real-world data on the air quality (rather than relying on modelling)

Your proposal to divert traffic that goes through Richmond on to the A316 could also make air pollution worse there

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

@AlexanderEhmann @artgelling @AldredKeith @Whittonvillage @RichmondTransit @luton_paul @RichmondCycling @ShamrockSoup @LBRUT @Gareth_Roberts_ @TfL @sainsburys As the chairman of the *Air Quality* and transport committee have you thought about the harm the pollution down that road will do to users of your proposed cycle route?

It would prob do a lot of harm to any child who used it on a regular basis....

Drains at the Heathside Shops (Hanworth Road & Powder Mill Lane) in Heathfield Ward are blocked.

This is despite being reported numerous times over the past few years.

@LBRUT @LBRuT_Help @Whittonvillage

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

For over THREE YEARS we have been requesting for this drain to be unblocked.

Just what is going on at Richmond Council? 🤔

@LBRUT @TRLibDems @Gareth_Roberts_ @AlexanderEhmann @Whittonvillage

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

@Whittonvillage @RecFriendsof @TreedomTW1 As a meantime option they converted the site back to a golf course and eventually northern part of the site was leased to a private health club

But the council sought an operator that would not compete with their existing sports centre and that's why a luxury club was built

[Hospital Bridge Road - Resident Action Group @HBRRAG]

@Whittonvillage @RecFriendsof @TreedomTW1 It was originally one golf course. In the 1950s the outer course" holes 7 to 15 were separated and were allocated for a sports complex to include a new lido, sports pitches, gymnasium and cafe.

Due to rising costs they put the plans on ice in 1975
