While your point about the lack of transparency of the CIC structure is valid, there is zero evidence presented that revenues and grants that go into the company are being unduly taken up by salaries.

Regular users of the park will seen the transformation over the past decade or so and recognise that part of the credit for this must go to the hard work and expertise of the people running it. The historic buildings are usable again, the grounds are immeasurably improved, sporting activities which had more or less disappeared are now meaning the park is so crowded at the weekends that it is difficult to park (even though parking charges have been introduced). While it is not right that we don't get more oversight into what the people who have achieved this are paid, it is clear they deserved to be well renumerated.

It must be recognised that grants and council support is going to fall which means that the momentum of improvement will stall unless revenues can be increased. I very much hope Hounslow Council's planning committee recognises this later today and approves what seems to me a reasonable compromise between the needs of the park and the needs of residents.
