| It's not just water contamination from the feeds and what is already stagnant in the Swales. Its all the earthworks as well. The waft of sewage has and remains present. Even in the surrounding streets. Faint but there. It is the presence of biting insects and mosquitoes already, The profusion of Ticks and Horseflies which have manifested in the existing wet area near the former tennis courts. The disturbance to the ground which has 100 year old detritus containing asbestos, crushed brick, sharp stones and materials that were the norm at the time but now known to be hazardous have been brought to the surface. Many local people have now got coughs and throat irritations that have persisted for months and only now are the locations being correlated. The dust from last summer has impacted many of the homes around the Park and beyond with the prevailing winds. Yet despite being raised, no-one at Highways or ward councillors has engaged or taken any kind of action. The best residents and individuals have had is a missive on the Councils ' Missions' none of which bear relation to reality. These Swales will fill and empty. Damp mud and vegetation might be pretty to some but the fact is it is perfect to propagate disease carrying insects and currently it is wildlife as well as humans that can be affected. Despite the absolute underhand behaviour of Ealings Council - Officers and Councillors in hurriedly filling all the failings from the initial and downright misleading application, many questions particular of impact of health and safety and damage to what was an unseen ( to most ) stable ecology and a Disney like Rose tinted vision that is untenable, remain completely unaddressed. No reponse from several councillors misleading and contradictory from others and a 'Team' of faceless and nameless Ofiicers and management who patronise and have nothing more than a contemptuous attuned to anyone who dares to query any overlooked or unexplained detail. Fact is it's a on the cheap deal for Thames Water and a carte blanche for developers in parts of South Ealing and Central Ealing to enable huge Croydon like developments. At the end of the day, if tragedy happens in one form or another, all those people who lied and evaded, deceived and ignored will be culpable. If the law does not pursue them, their currently absent consciences might oust their egos and ambitions and return to haunt them. That includes the current local MP who "Knows nothing, it is a matter for the council. " ...Er.. she was principal lead in the Council the this was cooked up and one of several who halted the Conservation Area which would have not only protected the park but also the Lodge and several overdevelopments. How Greed and Egos marry so well. |
