Agenda Item 2 1 Hanworth Royal Naval Association Save Hanworth Royal Naval Association Hanworth Air Parcs Petition from Customers. Hanworth Air Park Leisure Centre & Library- November 2015 We, the undersigned, are writing to complain about the ongoing poor standards at the above Leisure Centre. We are regular customers, and we feel very strongly that we are all paying a lot of money, but are not receiving 'value' for our money due to the poor standards of cleanliness, hygiene, and lack of working equipment and facilities. When things go wrong or break down it takes weeks, and often months, before things are put right. For example:- HEALTH SUITE • Since August, only one shower available. There has been a large hole in the ceiling since August, and the area is taped off, following a leak. • Since 29th June 2015, we have been without even the basic facilities expected in a Health Suite, running water. A tap was installed but it has never worked, and is now taped up. A mobile water dispenser should have been installed as a temporary measure to replace this, for Health & Safety reasons. There used to be an ice machine, but this was taken out without explanation. Customers need to be able to cool down, and keep hydrated. • We would like to know at what time of the day are the Sauna and Steam room cleaned? These facilities have to be switched on first thing in the morning, so they are ready for the customers to use at 6.30am. They are switched off when the Centre closes at lOpm. The walls in the Steam room are slimy, as are the benches, and there is a very unpleasant smell from the drains. • Since January this year, the steam room has been out of order or not functioning properly for a total of 27 days, and this is not acceptable. • The lower bench in the sauna is sticking up, so it is not possible to lay down DRYS/DE CHANGING ROOM • Since April 2014, hand drying facilities have been removed. There are 4 sinks in the dryside changing area, but nothing to dry your hands on? Paper towels were supplied prior to this, but they have been withdrawn. Customers were promised hand dryers many months ago, but they have never materialised. • There are 41ights above the 4 sinks, and they do not work. After being out of order for 14 months, they were finally fixed in December 2014. They are now out of order again, and have been since August 2015. It is usual for 2 out of the 4 sinks to be blocked. • The toilets in the dryside area are frequently without toilet paper, and the soap dispensers are left empty. • The temperature of the shower facilities is variable, and some of the shower heads are fixed to run down the shower cubicle doors, so there is nowhere to hang a towel. GYM • The machines are old and are consistently out of order. There is no TV reception on some of the screens, and most of the bikes used for the spinning classes need replacing. • Some of the keys are missing from the weights machines, and customers have to spend time looking around for replacements before using the equipment. As an example, there is a weight machine that has been taped up and out of order since 4th August 2015. It has just been fixed this week, commencing 26th October, but there is now another machine covered in tape SWIMMING POOL 2 • The level of cleanliness is unacceptable, and as a result, customers have experienced ear and foot infections. The paying customers should not be expected to endure these very poor facilities. A succession of Managers have come and gone, and still the underlying problems are continuing, and urgent action is needed to bring this leisure Centre up to an acceptable basic standard. All of the above matt ers require urgent attention, in particular the Health Suite. Staines Road We would like the council to introduce residents permit parking zone in between Carlton House and Bedfont Lane. It has recently became extremely difficult with finding parking spaces outside odd numbered properties , due to motor traders, pub patrons, rail station commuters and local business employees vehicle parking. When spaces are unavailable residents have to resort to parking on the other side of the road (even numbers),which often results in those vehicles being vandalized. The Council must accept responsibility to impose specific parking restrictions to ensure only residents can park , making it a safer, nicer, and a peaceful neighborhood. 3 Agenda Item 4 Feltham Neighbourhood Policing Team January 2016 report Author A/Inspector Chris Mulrooney Feltham Neighbourhood has a new Inspector starting on Monday 18th January 2016. Chris Mulrooney takes over from Nigel Treacy who moves over to take up a position on the Emergency Response Team. Chris Mulrooney has almost 15 years service in the police, 5 years with Surrey and the past 10 years with the Metropolitan Police Service. Chris has worked within a number of uniformed posts, including Emergency Response, Pro-active, and Neighbourhoods. His last posting was running an Emergency Response team at Feltham. Chris has worked on Hounslow borough since October 2009, and has previously run the Town Centre team at Hounslow winning the MPS Safer Neighbourhood team of the year award in 2013. Chris also previously ran the Oxford, Regent, Bond Street Safer Neighbourhood team which is one of the largest, and high profile in the country. Chris is looking forward to his new post and working closely with the residents and councillors of Feltham. His priority for 2016 is to increase the visibility of officers on the street, and better use of social media. He is also looking for a reduction in all MOPAC crimes as well as a reduction in ASB.

The team patrol the ward on a daily basis to prevent these offences and apprehend offenders. 4 Burglary Burglary continues to be a ward priority and there has seen a large decrease in the number of reported burglaries over the past three months with 21 burglaries being reported as compared to 40 burglaries during the same period in 2014. There are now 65 Neighborhood Watches established on the ward with almost all of the residential roads on the ward now covered.

  • Customer: the 07:35 Left Over 6 Minutes Early. Yesterday the Bus
    1416351 Customer: The 07:35 left over 6 minutes early. Yesterday the bus left over 5 minutes early. Response: No response required 1428677 Customer: Good morning I am a regular user of this route, please explain why the 07:02 Bus at Felthambrook Way(TW13) towards Hatton Cross did not run this morning, I and many others rely on this service to start getting to work. My observations are that these cancellations happen far too frequently, this is not acceptable particularly in the peak times when these buses are heavily used. Also despite recently "tinkering" with the timetable which has made life more difficult for the drivers concerned still DO NOT run to time often enough. I look forward to your response, thank you. Response: Dear Mr ROUTE H25 Thank you for contacting us about this service. I can understand your frustration and I am sorry for any inconvenience caused to you. We are totally committed to providing a first class bus network for our passengers and welcome any comments that will help us to improve our services. Sometimes if the traffic is unexpectedly busy or the operator is experiencing staff shortage, the buses can be delayed or services can be missed out. This can lead to a longer wait than usual for a bus to arrive. You will be pleased to know that we are always working with our operators to reduce the impact of these factors on the bus schedules. I have also contacted Abellio London who operate the H25 for us. They have investigated the late running of the 07:02 bus towards Hatton Cross and have reported that due to a gas leak and roadworks at Feltham Station Bridge where Temporary traffic lights were in operation it was necessary to curtail the 7:02 service and run it light to Hatton Cross in order to ensure that the service was balanced.

  • Clapham Transport Users Group Response to Tfl/Dft Consultation
    Response to TfL/DfT Consultation On Devolving Control of London Rail Services to the Mayor of London is a voluntary stakeholder representative body advocating on behalf of public transport users in the Clapham area of South London. Our focus is on Tube, Bus, Dial-A-Ride and Rail services with full examination given to the inter-modal relationships between different forms of transport and the impact of transport with wider issues in Clapham and beyond. We have a valuable perspective to offer in our response to the consultation in that the suburban stations of Clapham High Street and Wandsworth Road were once run by British Rail and later Southern Trains but transferred to TfL as part of the extension of the London Overground East London Line Extension to Clapham Junction. The Clapham Transport Users Group was part of a ground of stakeholder bodies invited by TfL in 2006 to consider the development of a pan-London rail network under TfL control which led to the evolution of London Overground. Context Transport for London was set up in 2000 to replace London Transport and have steadily increased its control of public transport beyond the established areas of Bus and Tube. In 2006 TfL gained control of some orbital rail services previously operated by Silverlink Metro and re-branded as London Overground: it has steadily expanded to include all orbital rail services, an expansion of the East London Line and some suburban services out of Liverpool Street, including trains to Shenfield which will become Crossrail. In the political climate of greater devolution, the lack of control by TfL of London’s suburban rail network has been a significant anomaly, resulting in inconsistency of standards across rail networks not run by TfL.
