Submit Questions

You can submit questions via this form in advance for the independent chair to consider as a featured question to the Cabinet or email it to engage@hounslow.gov.uk.

Alternatively, you can also ask questions on the night 'live'.

Questions raised in advance will get an answer at the event or published on this webpage. Time will dictate how my raised hand questions can be answered on the night. The Leader and Cabinet cannot address questions about current casework or individual issues.

We recently moved into a new build where we were pressured into signing a no parking letter from Hounslow Housing. The four of us had lived in a one bedroom flat for the pass 10 years, crowded and my husband was working from home aswell so we were very overcrowded and claustrophobic. We desperately needed a bigger property as my son was about to start secondary school that year so there was no way we could refuse the property. My question is "Why have we not been allocated parking when we have children and their schools are near the old property, our work is near the old property too, there's ao much space to give each household just one parking space. My husband also has a vehicle for work as he works on the motorway, that's his livelihood and he is not able to park close to home.

1. Lampton Investment 360 accounts show that the company made a loss of £18 million in 2022/23 and now has net negative value of £30 million. Can you explain why this was not properly reported to the Cabinet meeting in March and instead reporting only £0.5 million loss (with a footnote)? Would the Overview and Scrutiny committee do a full report on whether this company has been run prudently?

(Part 2) When will works commence as I understand there are other estates in the borough that will have work continued. Surely Convent Way should be a top priority to save funds in the long run.

(Part 1) Convent Way Regeneration Program: A couple of years ago the Council underwent extensive research and spent time and money on a regeneration plan for Convent Way Estate and even submitted the plans for planning permission. However, the plan was halted abruptly and residents of the estate were not contacted and told as to why. Why has the Council not restarted the program to regenerate the estate which has buildings that are very old and worn? (continued)

How is the council looking to improve bus services and are they considering tackling fares- based on current fares why are the services so reduced and not even meeting existing current timetables - the instructors to help people to switch to public transport is diabolical.

Has the cabinet considered any new proposals for improving transport access from Isleworth/Brentford towards Chiswick? Currently there is no underground branch in the south of the Borough to the west of Kew Bridge. A tram service, river shuttle, even a retractable bridge from Brentford to Kew (to allow access to Kew Village and underground station) are all options.

How can residents ensure that Forum topics are ones which they want to discuss with Councillors, rather than topics which LBH wishes attenders to know about, and ensure much more time is given to the former and much less to the latter - which can be dealt with in other ways to a far larger resident audience, eg via "Hounslow Matters" online and by quarterly printed distribution.

(Cont. 2/2) .......There are apparent work and geographical overlaps with established Ward Panels and Area Forums’ activities, particularly those requiring a Police presence. Ward Panel Chairs are only invited to one meeting a year out of four, creating a lack of continuity. With limited Police and volunteer resources, an open review of aims and objectives of Ward Panels, Area Forums and SNB is urgently needed.

LBH’s new Safer Neighbourhood Board (SNB) seems to have ambitious aims, to ensure all wards have a Panel and Neighbourhood Watch, crime victim representation, youth engagement (with a £30 ‘bribe’) and the delivery of projects funded by others e.g. Chamber of Commerce, plus much else but so far little in the way of specific proposals for action.

As a student I value and utilise the local library in Hounslow House frequently especially during exam seasons. As a practising Muslim however, I struggle with staying there for long periods of time as there is no available prayer room facility. Instead I have to walk at least 15 minutes to the other part of the high street to another mosque. The walk there and back takes up a large part of my time so I would like to request that a permanent prayer room should be allocated within Hounslow House

Why has the Council not prioritised space in vacant sites for increasing new supply of SEND school places, particularly when developers propose only 35% affordable homes, below the 50% threshold set by the Mayor of London?

Continuation .............. Can the Council help push for full fibre? After all they have approved thousands of flats, without the adequate infrastructure, so the least that they can do is to improve the lives of residents.

We have fibre to the cabinet & not to the home, the connection keeps on dropping. The speed over the copper cables is extremely slow. We’re paying a fortune for unreliable connections. Many areas in London have full fibre to the home & benefit from stable, cheap & superfast fibre broadband. They can work from home & businesses can operate without connection worries. Why can’t we? ....... continued

What is Hounslow Councils housing policy? Does it take into account infrastructure, services such as schools, dentists, public transport etc. For example Brentford at present has a housing boom but those of us living here are concerned that Hounslow will not be able to provide the supportive services for this increase in the population.

We have too many cyclists using the public footpaths causing danger to the public including the elderly and disabled. Are there any enforcements in place for those who uses the footpaths for cycling?
