I WOULD like to thank Mr Bill Gallup, who has campaigned for the streets of Hounslow West to be cleared of obstructions outside the shops.

At last something has been done and the council have at long last, after I would imagine a battle with the shopkeepers, given them orders and fined them for obstructing the pavement.

Well done to them both and I hope in the future the shopkeepers keep their goods and produce within the boundaries of the shop.
