Over the next four years, we will continue to deliver for our residents: improving the services that matter to them, investing in our communities and ensuring we deliver value for money on all services.
I am ambitious and excited for Hounslow’s future: whether that is delivering thousands of new homes at a former MoD site in Feltham or transforming Brentford Leisure Centre, we have so many plans in the pipeline that will deliver long-term benefits for Hounslow residents.
I have always stressed the importance of engaging with local residents and I will continue to work closely with communities across the borough to ensure we secure the best future for Hounslow.
