The Fourth Quarter 355 The Madness Awaits THE morning of Thursday, 25 July 2019 had broken and found the United Kingdom in a similarly shattered state For three years the old country had been up to its nostrils in divisive angst and days like this compounded both misery and the loss of a common sense of direction A deep blue British sky was usually to be cherished but the heat was becoming too oppressive The mercury this day would near 100°F, causing overhead railway cables to crackle, lines buckle, points fail and thus services were cancelled, concourses choked, thoroughfares clogged and buses rammed Queues formed everywhere One of the longest was outside a London lido where even if you were patient enough to make it through the throng, stripped off and entered the cooling waters, there was only enough elbow room to bob up and down as if you were impersonating -

Following last week’s update on Twickenham Riverside the “Twickenham Lido” petition, advocating sport and leisure on the disputed site became very active with an additional eighty people signing and making comments. These are individual residents - now 4,243 supporters of “Twickenham lido”, who the Council do not seem to hear. However, a question asked is will the Council give in to public opinion or will minority groups in a small area of Twickenham win the day? The Council consultation at the moment consists of a “Stakeholders Group”. Those of us interested in Twickenham Riverside are all stakeholders but a number of the groups invited to consult with the Council seem to be connected with Eel Pie Island - a car-free island, where people appear to want to keep vehicles on the Embankment rather than looking at alternative parking. -
