This is a small estate with mixed housing - private, social and housing society. There's the odd gang of youths hanging around - but not the least threateningly - some pissing in the lifts of our block, a reputed soft drug dealer on one floor, etc etc but no basic trouble ever and much friendliness and community spirit. I do wonder if the fact Shepherd's Bush and Hammersmith were unaffected relates to the fact that much social housing in our borough is mixed up with other types - even the sometimes notorious White City Estate is not cut off to the extent that estates in Tottenham and Brixton are - and that there are plenty of places to go and cheap shops to hand. The wonderful ethnic mix doesn't seem to be any kind of problem either. No one group dominates and people show every sign of getting along well. In my block certainly. Youth groups I imagine are hit here as everywhere else. What will happen when our council gets its way and destroys the shepherd's bush end of the Goldhawk Road with its long established small businesses and of course the market itself - a so-called improvement - god knows. The wisdom to hand? If it's not broke don't try and fix it. But they never learn.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-77099361123116281842011-08-15T10:22:19.351+01:002011-08-15T10:22:19.351+01:00The thing about the riots is that it's not onl...The thing about the riots is that it's not only brought out the worst in London, but it's brought out the best too. <br /><br />What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. It's a terrible shame, and a complete travesty, that during the riots five people tragically lost their lives. We shouldn't let them be forgotten, and I am sure that this experience will, in time, improve our city - if not, the nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-58375639545894912892011-08-15T09:44:19.435+01:002011-08-15T09:44:19.435+01:00If the Masbro Centre is to lose some government fu...If the Masbro Centre is to lose some government funding, wouldn't a fund-raising effort be a good idea?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131658095945044290.post-57261129088567785082011-08-15T09:29:59.675+01:002011-08-15T09:29:59.675+01:00Totally behind you on this one, Chris.
