Regeneration of Hayes Town Centre Canal Area Moves a Step Closer
I have been campaigning for the last 10 years to regenerate the canal area in Hayes Town Centre and have been pressing British Waterways, who are responsible for the canal, to allow residential barges to be permanently moored in Hayes Town. This will greatly assist in opening up the canal area and transforming this potentially beautiful area of the town centre. I am pleased that the Council has this month given BW planning perrmission for residential moorings but there is a long way to go in raising the funds to pay for this improvement scheme. I am urging the Council and Hillingdon Community Trust (HCT) to work with BW and jointly fund the development of the moorings and the improvement of the canal side area. The Council has the funds set aside from recent planning developments in our area and HCT has a remit to use its funds to improve our environment. I think this scheme should be one of their top priorities.

Hayes does not need a canal to make it a pleasant place to be, it will be a waste of money as the surrounding environment is full of gambling places, £1 shops, £1 vegetable pots and numerous mobile phone counters,innondated with empty buses one after the other jamming the roads and tearing the tarmacs while polluting the air hardly a pleasant place. now with Tesco in the town and soon Asda too , there will be no shops for residents to shop in the town except wines, gambling places,what is missing a police station and that will seal it as the worst place to be in the whole of hillindon borough.

I think this is an excellent idea and should be supported. I have noticed a marked upward turn in the general feeling of renewal in Hayes and this project would help make Hayes a more pleasant place to be and therefore draw in the investment necessary to keep this ball rolling. Please do support John in this Endeavour.
