Online Communities very much regret that because of absence of funding our community network has now closed. It has operated for the benefit of the community in Richmond upon Thames, unfunded and without break since 1997.

This is very sad news not only for our campaign but all campaigns in the Borough who were able to spread the word throughout the community. The HEW campaign will always be grateful to John and Jill of Online Communities for their advice and support.

New plans appear on the Richmond Council planning website for 31 flats and an office building. It it understood that those who wish to object have 21 days to raise their concerns.

Residents from Talbot and Hamilton Roads email Bill Bailey with their complaints including past worrying activities by Harrison Demolition. These include early morning drilling, fly tipping and the burning of toxic waste. Bill Bailey says that he will tell the company to quit the site on 27 September.

Bill Bailey has revised plans and wants to discuss them
