On Saturday 12th May, a collection of just six, four-bedroom townhouses will be launching at Keelson Gardens, which forms part of the award-winning, waterside development Brentford Lock West in west London.

Arranged on either side of a beautifully landscaped courtyard, these townhouses are expected to enjoy wide appeal, with flexible living space spread over four floors. All of the homes offer access to landscaped, outside communal space. In addition, they all benefit from their own private balconies and courtyards.

On the ground floor, a carefully planned kitchen/dining area opens up onto two terraces at both the front and rear. The homes also boast a living area on the first floor and balconies off both the master bedroom and the third bedroom, offering ample, outside space.

All the homes have been highly specified to include interior designed, fitted kitchens and beautifully presented bathrooms. Each townhouse includes a high gloss kitchen with Zanussi and Bosch appliances, in addition to a slimline wine cooler and instant boiling water tap, making the homes perfect for both entertaining and easy, day-to-day living.

For more information, please call the Brentford Lock West sales team on 020 3504 6403, email [email protected] or visit www.brentfordlockwest.co.uk. The Sales and Marketing Suite is open daily 10am-5pm

Police are appealing for assis-tance in tracing a man sought in connection with the theft of three rings, collectively worth more than £2 million, from an event at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in 2017.He is Vinko Osmakcic, a Croa-tian national believed to be responsible for a number of high-value diamond thefts throughout Europe.The three rings were stolen from a cabinet at the Master-piece London 2017 event at the Royal Hospital Chelsea in Royal Hospital Road SW3, on

Hounslow’s Young People In London Mini Marathon 2018

Val Shawcross To Retire As London’s Deputy Mayor For TransportThe Mayor of London has to-day announced that Val Shaw-cross CBE will be retiring as London’s Deputy Mayor for Transport. Val will be stepping back from full-time public life after 18 years at the GLA. Sadiq Khan paid tribute to Val for her exceptional service to Londoners, as Leader of Croy-don Council, then as a Lon-don Assembly Member for 16 years, including eight years as chair of the London Fire and Emergency Planning Au-thority, and as Deputy Mayor for Transport since 2016. He recognised the deep exper-tise she has brought to the Mayor’s office and the GLA overseeing London’s transport network.The Mayor is also announcing he is appointing Heidi Alex-ander MP as Val’s successor as Deputy Mayor. A previous Deputy Mayor of Lewisham and member of London Coun-cils’ Transport and Environ-ment Committee, Heidi has been MP for Lewisham East since 2010, and was Shadow Secretary for Health.Val will retire in the summer, with Heidi taking over. In law it is not possible for Heidi to

be both Deputy Mayor and an MP, so she will stand down as a MP before taking up her post. Sadiq also in due course intends to nominate Heidi to succeed Val as the Deputy Chair of Transport for Lon-don.The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, said: “I want to thank Val for the exceptional ser-vice she has given to London as an Assembly Member and Deputy Mayor – and for her personal friendship. Val is hugely respected by politi-cians from all parties and her deep expertise on transport in London has made life bet-ter for millions of Londoners – whether making our public transport network more ac-cessible and affordable, de-livering huge projects such as the Elizabeth Line, or improv-ing TfL as an organisation.“I’m delighted that Heidi Al-exander has agreed to be-come our new Deputy Mayor for Transport. Heidi knows this city inside-out, and her work both as Shadow Health Secretary and campaigning over the best Brexit deal has demonstrated the terrific job she will do as part of my team

The borough’s young ath-letes showcased their talents on Sunday 22 April by tak-ing part in this year’s Virgin Money Giving London Mini Marathon.The event is British Athletics’ official 5km road champion-ships for athletes aged be-tween 11 and 17 years old. This year, 1,056 youngsters took part.The race involved running the last 5km of the main mara-thon course. Participants fin-ished in The Mall just ahead of the elite marathon runners.Hounslow was represented

by 32 young runners who achieved outstanding results. The top performances of the day were from Jonathan Bar-tholomew in the Under 17 Boys’ race, who ran an im-pressive time of 16:58 and finished in 37th place, closely followed by Christopher Gar-cia who ran the Under 13 Boys’ race in 17:42 finish-ing 8th. Charlotte Buckley achieved a time of 18:37 in the Under 17 Girls’ race, fin-ishing in 10th position.Huge congratulations go out to all the young runners who took part, all of whom

received a marathon medal, goody bag and finishers t-shirt.Jonathan Barbour from Fu-sion’s Sports Development Team in Hounslow said: “We’d like to pass on a huge thank you to all of the runners who represented the London Borough of Hounslow and their families and friends who supported them both in the run up to the event and on the day. We would also like to say thank you to all of the volun-teers who helped out as team managers.”

St Nick’s In BloomSt Nicholas Church is hosting a three day event celebrat-ing flowers and music next month. The weekend event will have a number of opportunities for everyone in the community to enjoy all that is on offer, including floral displays and “majestic” music. The weekend starts off on Friday 18th May with a tick-eted opportunity to enjoy an exclusive Preview Evening with cocktails and canapés among the stunning displays. For the remaining two days, entry is free to view the floral exhibits, and there are tours around the historic graveyard starting at 3pm.As the Vicar of St Nicholas, Fa-ther Simon Brandes said “this weekend in flowers and music marks the successful comple-tion of this part of our devel-opment campaign. We have adapted our church for mis-sion in the 21st century. With the help of the community we now have one of the finest or-gans in the area, new boilers to keep us warm which will protect the church, together with new lighting.”The celebration in flowers

and music this weekend is a springboard to the future needs of St Nicholas as there is still work to be done. It is hoped to restore the exter-nal stone work; protect the building’s stone against dete-rioration and restore its for-mer glory. All of this will cost around over half a million

pounds and the proceeds of this weekend will be a major step forward. For more details, visit the St Nicholas Church website: http://www.stnicholaschis-wick.org/

standing up for London. “Heidi is respected across the political divide as a parlia-mentarian and campaigner, and Londoners can be confi-dent she will ensure we de-liver our ambitious plans to transform London’s transport network over the coming years.” Val Shawcross CBE said: “It’s been a huge honour to work as Deputy Mayor for Trans-port under Sadiq’s leadership, working with colleagues at the GLA and TfL to make our city a better and fairer place for every Londoner. Working as an Assembly Member and then Deputy Mayor, I hope I’ve played my part ensuring our city has a high-quality, af-fordable and accessible trans-port network that serves the needs of every Londoner, whatever their background.“After more than 18 years at the GLA, and having steered through the Mayor’s Trans-port Strategy and five-Year Business Plan, now is the right time for me to stand down. There’s so much I want to do with my husband and my family, and this will give me the time and space to do

so.”Heidi Alexander MP said: “I am really excited to be join-ing Sadiq and the team at City Hall. Val is going to be a hard act to follow but I can’t wait to get started.“After eight years as the Mem-

ber of Parliament for Lew-isham East and six years as a local councillor, I know just how important it is we ensure everyone has access to a high-quality and affordable public transport network, with safe cycling routes across the capi-

tal. London is a fantastic city. I know Sadiq wants its trans-port system to be the envy of the world and I am looking forward to playing my part in making that happen.”

EDUCATION RE IMAGINED AT ISL LONDONThe International School of London is a culturally diverse community which fosters a passion and enthusiasm for learning, through outstanding educational practices. Students’ cultural and linguistic identities are valued and nurtured through our international curriculum and Mother Tongue programme. Our school develops the attitudes, skills and understanding needed for active and responsible contributions to both local and global communities.At the International School of London, we believe in:• E m p o w e r i n g students to maximise their learning opportunities and to fulfil their potential.• Actively integrating cultural diversity in the curriculum.• Creating inclusive, vibrant and innovative learning communities.• Offering a diverse and extensive international programme that supports personal, social and professional growth.So how do we do this and what makes us different? Our approach to teaching and learning is well illustrated by this example.Imagine you are in a Grade 7 History lesson. The topic is the British Empire between the wars; the objective to consolidate student understanding of the vast range of the empire in the inter-war period and to grasp the growing economic function of the empire at that time. The class are all facing the front of the room. The teacher hands out a worksheet with a blank map of the world. All the students start shading in the colonies, the British and self-governing dominions, India, protectorates etc. After that she discusses the changing nature of the empire and why trade was important.This may sound like a pretty standard lesson but there are issues with it. This way of teaching provides all students with the same approach, the same diet. Educational research shows that this,’ one size fits all’ approach is not effective for the majority of students.What if instead, the teacher asked the students what they can learn about the Empire from a Christmas pudding? She shows them an advert for the Empire Christmas Pudding

of 1925, brings in ingredients to show them, gives them a list of ingredients and asks them to guess,working in teams,where in the empire the ingredients come from. The more serious discussions about the structure of the Empire can follow but still with a focus on economic trade showing Empire adverts and asking students what the sources tell us. Based on student prior knowledge a range of activities can follow. These might include working in groups to produce a report about the state of the empire, working on their own to focus on a specific theme e.g. sugar and the slave trade, a study to show how a country, for example India, moved from its governance in the 1930s to present day.I know which approach I would prefer and which would result in deeper learning. The latter also allows a far more global and intercultural approach to the subject matter and provides opportunities for students to make links across subjects and to consider relationships between history and the present. It enables students to apply their own unique experiences in the classroom and allows them opportunities to express their own opinions.There is much evidence to suggest aninquiry based approach to learning has a direct correlation to student achievement. So, what does this look like in (and beyond) the classroom at the International School of London? How do teachers create a culture of deep learning that is exciting and effective and enables students to make excellent progress?We encourage our teachers to:•Pose problems and set questions appropriate to the individual learner.•Build a sense of emotional security within the class.•Work as a mentor and facilitator – this means providing a range of approaches and strategies and to personalise learning.•Help students make connections between subjects.•Develop rich tasks to challenge all students.•Provide opportunities for reflection and review.•Continuously assess, provide feedback and set targets with students.

As a result of this approach our students know how to learn and have a disposition to do so. They can identify problems and know how to solve them. They know which way to work and when – in a group, on their own, with the teacher, using technology or a combination of these. Most importantly, they develop security in themselves and become more resilient.Learning in this way helps students develop skills in communication, collaboration, reflection, research, critical thinking, to transfer learning across subjects and to improve their affective skills. A staged approach to this from primary through to the sixth form college means that our students are well prepared for their next steps be that university or relocation to a new country. By re-imagining education we truly are challenging minds and enriching identities for a diverse world.

GOOD MORNING BRITAIN TV PRESENTER SEAN FLETCHER TO HOST W4 BLACK TIE BALL

Sean Fletcher is all set to host The W4 May Black Tie Ball taking place in Chiswick on the evening of the royal wed-ding day, the 19th May.Celebrity host Sean, who first appeared on our screens pre-senting Sky Sports then went on to Good Morning Britain with Pierce Morgan, is now a familiar face dominating our screens on a Sunday with shows such as Songs of Praise and CountryFile.Sean said “I’ll be broadcasting from the ITV royal wedding coverage earlier in the day and can’t think of a better way to finish off the momentous day than hosting the other big event, the W4 Black Tie Ball in the evening. Really looking forward to it.”The Ball is part of the CCW4 St Alban’s appeal, a con-tinual Christ Church initia-tive to raise awareness and funds to develop the church further to make it more as-sessable to the public. Part of it’s development is to build a performance stage, a place where the community can put on shows and events and also to build a 24/7 prayer chapel for anyone a seeking a

quiet space for meditation or prayer.Christ Church W4, along with over 50,000 local residents who signed a petition in sup-port, were instrumental in saving the historical church, preventing it being turned into a block of flats.Richard Moy, the vicar of the iconic church located in the center of Turnham Green and also oversees CCW4 St Albans said, “I’m delighted to be able to welcome the local commu-nity - businesses and residents - into the wonderful, magical space that is St Alban’s for an event of the highest quality and fun. Look forward to see-ing you there...”Also in attendance is Chis-wick MBE and retired BBC broadcaster Torin Douglas who commented “I’m really looking forward to the Ball, it sounds like a fabulous even-ing for a very good cause.”The W4 Black Tie Ball will also include an auction head-ed up by renowned local auc-tioneer Adrian Biddell.

been done to save and trans-form the building is wonder-ful, and I hope that the auc-tion during the evening will make a difference to the next stage of fitting the venue out. It’s fantastic that a new com-munity facility on this scale is being added to Chiswick at a time when closures, cost-cutting and cut backs are all too often the norm.

The 43-year-old man was taken to a north London hospital where he remains in a stable condition; his injuries are not believed to be life-threaten-ing.

At this early stage, officers believe that the suspect, who was driving a blue car, was questioned by a number of residents regarding the na-ture of his driving in the small residential street.The suspect produced a knife before stabbing the victim and driving away.Detectives would like to speak with anyone who saw the sus-pect leaving Buckingham Av-enue and who is yet to come forward.

West London Man Jailed For Online Sex OffencesA man who used social media to attempt to meet teenagers for sex has been sentenced to eight years in jail at Isleworth Crown Court today, Thursday, 3 May.Mohamed Mohamoud, 31, (01.02.87) of Uxbridge was found guilty on Tuesday, 20 March of two counts of incit-ing a child to engage in sex-ual activity and one count of attempting to incite a child to commit sexual activity.These charges related to three separate females - aged 14 or 15 at the time of the of-fences - with whom Moham-oud communicated in 2015 and 2016.The jury heard how Moham-oud identified young females through Facebook, and then contacted the victims seeking to obtain their phone num-bers. He subsequently made attempts to meet the girls for sexual activity, offering drugs and alcohol and the promise of taking them shopping.Police were first alerted to Mohamoud by a teacher at a secondary school in Hayes who had been told by a 14-year-old girl about mes-sages that she’d exchanged

online. Officers investigated this information and two fur-ther female victims of around the same age were identified who had also been contacted by Mohamoud.Thankfully, none of the three girls met with Mohamoud.Mohamoud was arrested on 26 July 2016. During the police investigation and the subsequent trial, Mohamoud showed no remorse and at-tempted to blame others for his actions.Detective Constable Mike Ev-ans, of the Child Abuse and Sexual Offences Command, said: “Mohamoud’s sentence demonstrates how serious

these offences are, and the Met’s commitment to the in-vestigation of online abuse towards young people.“By speaking to the police and providing their evidence, the three female victims have helped to ensure this man, who is a danger to young-sters, cannot harm anyone else while he remains behind bars.“I would like to take this op-portunity to remind parents that further information on how their children can stay safe online is available on the following websites; The Met, Childline, NHS Choices, CEOP”

vehicles on London’s roads will be electric. The introduc-tion of the T-Charge for more polluting vehicles in October 2017, the Ultra-Low Emission Zone and falling purchasing costs for an electric vehicle are some of the main causes driving forward this fore-casted shift, which will could result in the average concen-tration of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) across the city reduc-ing by as much as 8%. Consumer research run in parallel with this study shows that by 2028, 63% of London-ers will feel comfortable mak-ing the switch to an electric vehicle, with falling purchase costs and an expansion of the charging point network likely to fuel widespread adoption. Londoner-based travellers to Heathrow 32% said they would be fairly likely (22%) or very likely (9%) to use electric taxis to access the air-

port if these were made more available.Emma Gilthorpe, Executive Director at Heathrow, said:“We are thrilled to be working with two British companies on this landmark initiative to support more sustainable transportation choices for our passengers.“We will not compromise on our commitments to the environment and our local community and we remain fo-cussed on addressing the im-pact road vehicles have on air quality on the roads around the airport. These I-PACEs are the latest in a long line of initiatives we are taking to ensure that we do not force a choice between the economy and the environment – and that we can deliver benefits for both.”Heathrow already has one of the largest corporate electric vehicle fleets in the UK, and the highest density of charg-ing infrastructure in Europe, and is taking further action

to promote the take-up of EVs in and around the airport. This includes a year-on-year increase in more electric ve-hicle charging points through a £5m investment, the trial of electric buses for airside pas-sengers and plans for an ul-tra-low emission zone airside. Heathrow has also signed up to EV100 a global initiative bringing together forward-looking companies committed to accelerating the transition to electric vehicles.Peter Buchanan, CEO, We-KnowGroup said:“This is a significant step change in our successful, dec-ades-long relationship with Heathrow where we operate arrivals desks in all terminals, to assist thousands of travel-lers every year. We provide transport as well as a broad range of other services in-cluding entertainment, hotel rooms, tours, attractions and telecoms products. Today’s agreement also extends our deep, long-standing relation-

ship with Jaguar which has allowed us to proudly claim that we run the largest chauf-feured executive Jaguar fleet in the UK. “Jeremy Hicks, Jaguar Land Rover UK MD, said:“What we have created in the Jaguar I-PACE is utterly revo-lutionary; a desirable, luxuri-ous and state-of-the-art elec-tric vehicle that’s practical for genuine everyday use, includ-ing the tough life of an airport luxury chauffeur car.”“We have had huge inter-est and positivity from our customers worldwide. We’re also delighted that this en-dorsement extends to some of the biggest corporations on the planet. Through our partnership with Waymo (for-merly Google self-driving car project) and this latest deal with Heathrow and WeKnow-Group, we’re excited to be bringing the electric future to more people than ever be-fore.”

Hounslow Lib Dems Reveal All On Allotment DevelopmentHounslow Councils Local Area Plan includes a review of existing sites allocated for building including building on Park Road Allotment Gar-dens in Isleworth, despite the various existing plan policies it contravenes. The Park Road allotments are identified as open space and an Asset of community Value in the Local Development Plan. However, the designa-tion does not prevent this pri-vately owned land being built upon.Ralph Percy, 12th Duke of Northumberland, has submit-ted plans via Northumberland Estates, which manages the duke’s interests, to build 127 homes on this Metropolitan urban land next to his Syon Park estate in Isleworth. The plans, which do not include any affordable housing as de-fined by planning guidance, are strongly opposed by the local community.Last year, Hounslow Planning Committee rejected proposals for the development despite the Council’s planning officers recommending approval.

Northumberland Estates have filed an appeal with the planning inspectorate. The Isleworth society has been granted Rule 6 status for the purposes of the hearing and will take the lead on opposing the application with the aid of barrister representation.The Public Inquiry is due to be held in October this year over a number of days at the Free Church in Boston Manor Road, Brentford.The duke has previously faced opposition to development plans at Alnwick, his country residence in Northumberland. In 2014, proposals for more than 200 new homes in the town were opposed but were given the go-ahead.The Park Road Allotment site is the last remaining part of Old Isleworth that is undevel-oped. There have been allot-ment gardens on this wildlife haven since at least 1915 and the site forms part of the his-toric setting for the 600 year old All Saint’s Church.Once this tiny remaining part of Old Isleworth is developed, it will be lost for all future

generations. Hounslow Liberal Democrats were collecting signatures for a petition opposing the development last weekend at a farmers and gardeners market in South Street, Isle-worth.Joe Bourke, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary spokesperson for Brentford and Isleworth and local candidate for Isle-worth said “Allotments and Metropolitan open land are continually under threat across the borough. These amenities are highly valued by the local community as evidenced by the long wait-ing list for plots. There pres-ervation as community assets is worth fighting for.” The Libdem petition calls on Hounslow Council to comply with its statutory obligation to provide adequate allot-ment plots in the borough and to this end, to investigate the feasibility of an applica-tion for compulsory hiring of the Park Road Allotment Gardens Isleworth, in accord-ance with the provisions of the Small Holdings and Allot-

ments Act 1908.Charles Rees, a retired Barris-ter and Liberal Democrat can-didate for Homefields Ward in Chiswick said “Hounslow Council have the power if they wish to exercise it under s.39 of the 1908 Act togeth-

er with Schedule Part II of the 1908 Act, Provisions for Compulsory Hiring of Land by Councils. These parts of the 1908 Act are still extant. Hounslow Council is a com-petent authority to exercise these powers under the Act

by virtue of being a borough council. The Smallholdings Allotment (compulsory Hir-ing) Regulations 1936 also apply; they deal with the pro-cedures involved in a Council compulsorily hiring the land for allotments.”

fuller’s Acquires four Sites from We Are Bar Group

Chiswick based Fuller, Smith & Turner PLC, the brewer and premium pub company, has agreed to acquire four sites from the bar operator We Are Bar Group.

The four sites are: Ja-mies in Creechurch Lane EC3, Jamies in Fleet Place EC4, Ja-mies in London Bridge Street, SE1 and The Saint in Pater-

noster Square EC4. Commenting on the deal, Fuller’s Inns Managing Di-rector Jonathon Swaine said: “We are delighted with this acquisition.

We are very excited about these ven-ues and to welcome the teams in the bars to the Fuller’s Fam-ily.”

Ian Banks, CEO of We Are Bar Group, added: “I’m pleased to confirm that we agreed to sell the four venues to Fuller’s following a strategic review of our business.

Change travel habits urges MP

If London is not to grind to a halt within a few years as the population rises, more of us are going to have to shift our travel habits by taking fewer journeys by private car. So wouldn’t it be great if there was a way of getting around locally quickly, without the delays of traffic jams, without having to worry about find-ing and paying for parking spaces, yet didn’t take a lot of effort, didn’t make you break into a sweat and have to wear clothes for the journey rather than your destination. Oh, and didn’t cost a fortune.Well I have to admit to have found the answer – it’s an electric bike, also known as e-assist bikes or e-bike.As people who know me can attest, I drive a car, use public transport and ride a bike; the bike more for local journeys as I find it quicker and I have a thing about keeping physi-cally active. Being a drop-handlebar high cross-bar road bike, mine is energy efficient, but it does limit what I wear and for longer journeys as part of a long working day, of-

ten seems like a bit too much effort. I’d never ridden an e-bike before, and had thought they’re “not really for cyclists like me”. Well I’m a convert!E-bikes have a battery and motor that give added oomph to pedalling. It cuts out at 15mph so faster than that is your own effort, or gravity if going downhill. It is still exer-cise, but not of the high-sweat type. E-bikes are particularly useful on hills, when carrying heavy luggage, and for people who aren’t fit or have mobility difficulties.For anyone wanting to try an e-bike, TfL along are work-ing with bike-shops to give anyone who wants the oppor-tunity to test-ride e-bikes, a great opportunity to try some-thing new. Fudges Cycles and Halfords, both on Chiswick High Road, as well as Evans in Brentford and Moore’s in Isleworth are all part of the test-ride scheme.I was lent me an e-bike for three weeks in April by the Green Commute Initiative. I used it both on the nine miles between home and Westmin-

ster, and on local journeys between Chiswick , Hounslow and points in between. I was as fast as a high-effort ride on my road bike, but without the sweat and padded shorts. The bike I was loaned was a Dutch bike, meaning I was sitting upright, better to see and be seen, and I could carry heavy luggage. I also felt safer in traffic. Without the e-assist the big solid bike would have been slow especially on the longer rides, going uphill, and getting away at traffic lights. E-assist bikes come in the same forms as other bikes; Dutch, mountain, touring, hybrid and folding (includ-ing Brompton), and cost around 50% - 80% more than their non-electric equivalent. However, if your employer is signed up to the Cycle-to-Work scheme, you can get a bike through a salary sacrifice scheme that saves you money, currently up to the value of £1000.E-bikes may be the solution for the 22% of non-cyclists who are deterred from cycling because they don’t feel fit

enough or thinking they are too old, and also the 16% who feel they live too far away to cycle to work. The other key potential uses are for cargo bikes – better to move people and goods around for local journeys. The photo shows me being ridden on a bike usually used to transport up to four small children.The UK is behind the groove on e-bike use; in 2017 the UK imported 63,000 e-bikes, equivalent to 2% of the to-tal bicycle market, whereas Germany sold 720,000 e-bikes last year. E-bike sales in France are predicted to reach a 35% market share in

the next 7 years. As Co-chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Cycling, I am call-ing on the Government to help make a similar shift in the UK; by including them in the definition of low-emission vehicles which would open up subsidy options, and increase the Cycle-to-Work limit up to £2500 for e-bikes. And for disabled people, bikes and trikes should be included in the Motability scheme. The majority of car jour-neys taken in London are two miles or less, and at the ever-lengthening peak hours, much of these journeys are spent sitting in traffic jams.

Campaign To Save Chiswick Post office Gains Momentum

Ruth Cadbury MP, supported by Labour Candidates for 3 May local election – John Stroud-Turp, Ruth Mayorcas and Sally Malin – handed in a petition to Royal Mail CEO Moya Greene at its Blackfriars HQ, asking her to reconsider the closure of the Chiswick sorting and parcel collection

office. The petition was organised by the Chiswick Branch of the Labour party and collect-ed over 400 signatures from Chiswick residents who were concerned at the planned move of the sorting office and parcel office to Bollo Lane.A spokesperson said, “If the

move goes ahead, local resi-dents will no longer be able to collect their parcels from the High Road Post Office which will have a real impact on el-derly and disabled residents and will also lead to increased traffic, as more people will drive to the new office in Bol-lo Lane rather than walk.”

That is why Transport for London encouraging more of us to cycle, with adult cycle training and buddying op-portunities, as well as the test a bike schemes as well as in-vesting in roads to make them safer for cycling and walking. For those who have never thought about cycling around the local area, I’m suggesting trying out an e-bike.

MP Gets 30,000th Call for Help After 3 Years in The JobRuth Cadbury MP reached a milestone this week, almost exactly three years since her election to Parliament in 2015 when a constituent asked her to tackle Government action on the Windrush scandal. In announcing this milestone Ruth said “Given the issues people contact me about, I’m not sure this is a cause for cel-ebration or despair. Too many constituents contact me in crisis because of the impact of Government changes or cuts. What’s more, so many people need detailed specialist help which is no longer available from advice and support ser-vices either because they no longer exist or are too over-stretched.”Approaches to Ruth by email, letter and phone vary from calls for her to support a par-ticular issue in Parliament, to a request for help in dealing with local services.“Some people are facing evic-tion from their home, or do-mestic violence, or are hav-ing problems with Universal Credit. Others want to raise concerns about local issues

in the area such as rubbish, crime and potholes. On na-tional policy, the main issues constituents contact Ruth to support have been: Brexit, the Refugee Crisis, School Fund-ing, Animal Welfare, Social Care, Pesticides, Abortion, Assisted Dying, Palestine, the Housing Crisis, NHS Funding, Heathrow, and Disabilities.Ruth added “I would like to pay tribute to my wonder-

Chiswick Tories Comment On Success In Election

Speaking on the success in last week’s local election, Ju-lian Tanner, Chairman of the Brentford & Isleworth Con-servative Associatio said, “The elections in Chiswick of Con-servative Councillors across all wards was based on both national and local issues.”“At a local level, residents are angry about the poor state of our streets and the dete-

rioration of council services despite repeated increases in council tax. The vote also reflected the widespread dis-satisfaction with TfL’s deeply-flawed plan to drive a cycle super-highway through the vibrant and much loved heart of Chiswick High Road. At a national level there was seri-ous concern on the doorstep about the Marxist beliefs of

Corbyn and McDonnell and the threat that poses to our country.”“Chiswick now has a new team of energetic and intel-ligent Conservative Council-lors that will hold Labour to account on the delivery of ser-vices to residents while ensur-ing that tax payers get value for money.”

HOUNSLOW TORIES ANNOUNCE PLEDGES ON SCHOOLS AND YOUTHHounslow Conservatives have pledged extra cash and sup-port for youth programmes and school services. The pledges include the saving of Hounslow’s youth centres, including the Hogarth Youth & Community Centre in Chis-wick that allegedly would otherwise close as a result Labour’s 78% cut to the youth services budget. The Conserv-atives in Hounslow have also pledged to prioritise the Child and Adolescent Youth Service (CAHMS) that supports front line mental health care. Specific pledges include: “1. Funding for Youth Centres. Conservatives will reverse the massive cuts being made to the funding of youth services. The youth clubs that have provided a valued service for young people their families will close under Labour.”“2. Additional funding for Child and Adolescent Men-tal Health Service (CAMHS). Conservatives will provide the funding needed to abolish delays in diagnosing young people’s mental health prob-lems. It is unacceptable that

children’s educational and life chances are jeopardised by waiting 18 to 23 months for a diagnosis.” “3. Relieving future budget pressures on schools. This year’s 2.6% increase in the Government funding of Houn-slow’s schools is very wel-come. An incoming Conserva-tive administration will take steps to address the budget pressures on schools. Labour has yet to bring forward any proposals. Hounslow should be treated as an inner and not an outer London Borough for

funding purposes.”“Conservatives will provide better and deeper support for the children and young people who live in our Bor-ough,” explains John Todd, Conservative Councillor for Chiswick Homefields. “La-bour has ignored the advice of professionals and commu-nity leaders and cut youth services to the detriment of the Borough’s young people. We will invest in youth by re-versing these cuts.”

‘Food For Life’ Award For Chiswick Day NurseryChiswick Chef Soraya Court says the way to keep diners happy is to serve quality food and actively encourage feed-back on menus even when your customers are under five years of age.Empty plates and children happy on a sugar and salt free diet are her reward but the Ofsted-rated ‘Outstand-ing’ Devonshire Day Nursery in Bennett Street, is also cel-ebrating a prestigious ‘Food for Life Served Here’ Award because their approach to nu-trition goes much further.As Emmy Avery, Manager of Devonshire Day Nursery, explains the latest award is testament to wide-ranging efforts to ensure children are not only served the best pos-sible quality food, to support growth and development, but that they are also learning les-sons about nutrition which will inform their lives.“We are very lucky to have informed parents who have fully supported us with our new menus and the children are not only thriving as a re-sult but thoroughly enjoying their food,” she said.

That food includes Oat and Banana Balls - top of the ‘treats’ list at the day nursery, and at home - organic milk, and dishes with chickpeas, quinoa, and lentils with no trans-fats, sweeteners or ad-ditives and all sourced from suppliers committed to the highest standards of produc-tion.In congratulating Devonshire Day Nursery on their award, and praising them for their passionate approach to food, David Persaud, ‘Food For Life Served Here’ Midlands Devel-opment Manager, said:“It is no mean feat to achieve a ‘Food for Live Served Here’ award. Not only are the chil-dren receiving healthy meals made with top quality, ethi-cally sourced ingredients, they are involved in activities which lay the foundations for them to have positive rela-tionships with food through-out their lives.” Touring the age appropriate rooms at the day nursery in Bennett Street after the lunch-time ‘sitting’ to gather feed-back on the meal of cod, rice and sweetcorn, trained Chef

Soraya, who has 18 years’ ex-perience in catering, said:“Children like change if they have a say in it. Asking them what they like or don’t like about a dish is important as less or more spice can make a huge difference. They also ‘eat with their eyes’ so simply changing the way food is pre-sented often makes it more appealing.”Underpinning her efforts in the kitchen and in the age-appropriate play and learning rooms, staff re-inforce the im-portance of good nutrition to healthy lifestyles with colour-ful wall displays and activi-ties designed to capture the imagination.In fact food plays a pivotal role in most activities from celebrating diversity in mark-ing multicultural festivals with traditional foods, to cre-ating growing pots for herbs and vegetables - where chil-dren also learn about maths and science - in the soon-to-be refurbished garden at the nursery.Preschool children, in particu-lar, make easy baked goods, fruit and vegetable salads

Appeal After Two Girls Stabbed in W14Detectives are appealing for information and witnesses after two teenage girls were stabbed in West Kensington.Police were called at approxi-mately 17:35hrs on Monday, 23 April to reports of a stab-bing in North End Road, W14.Officers, the London Ambu-lance Service and London’s Air Ambulance attended.Two 17-year-old girls were found suffering from stab and slash injuries. They were tak-en to a central London hospi-tal with non life-threatening injuries. They have since been discharged and are recovering at home.A 17-year-old girl [A] was ar-rested at the scene and was taken to a West London police station.

Calling All London Schoolchildren For Barnardo’s Hat DayBarnardo’s is asking teachers, child carers, parents and pu-pils across London to sign up for Hat Day and wear a fun hat to raise money to support the UK’s most vulnerable chil-dren.The charity’s fundraising Hat Day celebrated on Friday 18 May, encourages children to wear or make a hat signifying who or what they would like to be or do when they grow up.It could be a firefighter, police officer, chef, astronaut, medic or sportsperson. There are no rules or limits to the imagina-tion – they may want to be a wizard or superhero.If a child does not know what they want to be they can decorate their hat with some-thing they are passionate about such as a sport, graffiti art, dancing shoes, or musical instrument.The idea behind the fun is to raise money for the UK’s lead-ing children’s charity to help give thousands of disadvan-taged children a better future. When they go into school, playgroup or children’s centre

on May 18, parents and carers can make a voluntary dona-tion of £1 to £2 to Barnardo’s.Lynn Gradwell, Director of Barnardo’s London, said:“Children are full of surprises and this is a fun way of allow-ing their imaginations to run wild in a way that will be in-spiring, educational and raise money to help transform the lives of children who desper-ately need our support.“It’s easy to sign up on our website where you’ll find lots of resources and ideas to en-sure your fundraising Hat Day will be a huge success. By taking part you’ll be helping some of the most vulnerable

children, young people and families in London and across the UK.”To register visit the Barnardo’s website to find everything you need to make the event a suc-cess at your school, nursery, playgroup or children’s cen-tre. The resources section has school posters, sample letters for parents and hat-making guides.To help with ideas, Barnardo’s is launching a separate ‘Top Hat’ competition for teachers/parents for best hat in the run up to Hat Day, with a poll to decide the winner on the Bar-nardo’s Community Fundrais-ing facebook page.

pect in a restaurant in North End Road, W14.A short while later, the victims and the suspect crossed paths again further up North End Road, W14.There was an altercation which resulted in the two vic-tims receiving stab injuries.Detectives from Hammer-smith and Fulham CID are in-vestigating and are appealing for any witnesses, or anyone with footage of the incident, to come forward.DC Stewart Cherrington, the investigating officer, said:“We are eager to establish the circumstances which led to two teenage girls being stabbed. This incident hap-pened in a very busy area and

a number of people will have seen what happened.“I am appealing to these people to come forward and speak to us. I’m also appeal-ing to anyone who has foot-age on their mobile phone to come forward as well as mo-torists who were in the area and may have captured the incident on their dash cam.“Any information, no matter how small, is crucial in help-ing us to establish what hap-pened.”Enquiries continue.Anyone with information is asked to call Hammersmith and Fulham CID on 0208 246 2678 or 101 quoting ref CAD 5548/23APR.

The FT reported higher oil prices had knocked American Airlines’ share price down 6% after it expected $2.3bn in ad-ditional fuel costs.The price of vanilla used in ice cream has rocketed to become the second most expensive spice after saffron. The BBC reported that family-run business Snugburys Ice Cream in Cheshire churns out tonnes of the stuff each week and uses vanilla in many of its ice creams. After seeing the spice’s price rise 30-fold over a number of years, the business decided to hedge their vanilla purchases in the forward market for one year. If vanilla prices rise fur-ther, they will be locked in to paying the old agreed price, at least for an agreed period of time. Another ice cream seller was not as forward-looking and made the hard decision to stop selling vanilla ice creams because of its prohibitively high cost of production.Snugburys will be able to sell

its full range of ice creams and maintain its profit margin, whereas the unhedged busi-ness will see revenue fall be-cause of the lost opportunities to sell vanilla ice cream. Cus-tomers disappointed with the reduced range of ice creams for sale might go elsewhere.Commodity prices directly im-pact business and their rising cost can prove financially dis-tressing and ultimately lead to business insolvency. The price of copper rose 20% year on year in March 2018, giving bumper revenues for miners, such as Antofagasta, but rising input costs for the thousands of companies that use copper as a raw material. Where end-user of the com-modity do not (or cannot) pass on their higher input costs, then their profit margin will reduce, giving the oppo-site impact of price rises felt by copper miners.The cause of the rise can be varied. In the case of vanilla, a hurricane had destroyed the harvest and supplies from

elsewhere are limited. The price of aluminium, a key raw material in the manufac-ture of cars, aeroplanes and many types of machinery, rose 15% in just one week this year as a direct consequence of trade sanctions imposed by the US on Russian company, Rusal, a major aluminium supplier.

If your business sells its prod-ucts or services on credit, then you will as a consequence cre-ate debtors - customers who owe you money. The longer your invoices remain unpaid, the greater the credit risk to your business that the invoice will never be repaid.Debtors are an asset of your business, but the way some debtors drag their feet when it comes to paying you for services and products you’ve sold to them, you might not think so.Just how long is it taking you on average to get paid? Days sales outstanding (DSO) (also known as Debtor Days (DD)) will tell you.For example, assume a compa-ny has a total of £1m of credit sales over a 6 month period and at the end £0.3m are out-standing. Its credit sales per

day are £1m/180 = £5555 so its DSO is £0.3m/£5555 = an average of 54 days.Could your company use sin-gle invoice finance to lower its debtor balance and hence lower its DSO to a more ac-ceptable level ? Using invoice finance will increase cash as a consequence and trans-fer credit risk to the invoice buyer. Single invoice finance avoids the problem of being forced to sell all your invoices to the factoring company. In-stead it can be used on a pay-as-you-go basis.DSO should be used to ob-serve trends. If the DSO in-creases it indicates a worsen-ing situation of the company (increasing credit risk) be-cause debtors are taking longer to pay their debts to the company (a bad sign that they might be experiencing

cash problems).Note that DSO is an average so individual companies in cash trouble will not be iden-tified. For that the company should produce an aged debt-ors’ report (ADR).The ADR is a summary that shows how much each debt-or owes and how long it has been unpaid for. It will also show debtors that have been given too much credit (a breach of your credit limit) and those where litigation has been initiated to collect an unpaid debt.The ADR is a useful visual aid to track debtors and assess whether the collections are improving or worsening at the level of each debtor and for debtors in aggregate.

Managing debtors with DSO and ADR Dr P Singh of Cash for Invoices Limited explains how DSO and ADR can support credit management.

Often deliberate producer policy to over-supply or un-der-supply a commodity, es-pecially oil and OPEC, can lead to low prices or high prices respectively.Government trade wars are affecting supply chains and the availability of key compo-nents, some of which might be commodities.

Company industrial action (labour strikes) or explosions can shut down operations at mining companies and farther along the commodity supply chain.Managing commodity risk can take several forms: hedging prices in the forward market, diversifying across multiple suppliers, agreements to pass

on the rises in input costs, re-cycling, and using substitutes, such as synthetic vanilla or green energy instead of fossil fuels. Forward-planning and remaining adaptable are key advantages for businesses ex-posed to commodity risk.

Murder and crime wave in London – Zero toleranceDear Sir

The ongoing murders and the awful crime surge is absolutely disgraceful, all happening under the watch of London Mayor Sadiq Khan who seems to be preoccupied with Brexit. I have heard nothing from him reacting to the crime wave.Here is my solution:•Legalise all drugs•Get found carrying a gun: Guilty of Conspiracy/Intent to murder•Get found carrying a knife: Guilty of Conspiracy/Intent to murder•Moped assisted crime: 10 years minimum•No ‘three and you’re out’ – absolute ZERO tolerance.

Kind regards John SimpSon

CS9 – Just make it narrowerAs an avid cyclist, I’m all for cycle lanes and endorse cycling as a preferred mode of transport in and around Chiswick. However, having seen the plans for CS9 it does look ridiculously wide. It would be easier to make a more defined lane making use of the existing ones, and add new ones based on those?

PLASTiC in oUR oCeAnSThanks to some great journalism and film-making, London and the world are waking up to the threat posed to the planet - and our own health - by plastic waste.However, when we see images of mountains of plastic washed up on beaches thousands of miles away, or fish poisoned by micro-beads that have turned parts of the ocean into plastic soups, it may be tempting to think that the problem is just too big to tackle, or too far away.The truth is that our actions as individuals will make a differ-ence in tackling a global problem. We can start cleaning up the planet by starting in our own communities.I was very impressed by the story of five-year-old Ava James who persuaded Pizza Express to ban plastic straws after writing to them saying they will make animals “sick”. It shows how we can all make a difference.So I reckon that as Londoners, the best way we can look after the world’s oceans is to start with our own lifestyles, our own waste and our own waterways.If we can tackle plastic waste in the River Thames, as individu-als or as communities or by supporting campaigns such as The Cleaner Thames campaign, perhaps the oceans will stand a chance too.

Exit from Brex i tDear Chiswick Herald,

We are now an entire year on since the government invoked Article 50 without any plans for what to actually do next, with only a year left to go before the UK potentially crashes out of the EU, and yet the government still doesn’t have a plan and the Brexit negotiations are going worse than ever. The Conservatives are still being held hostage by their minority of Eurosceptic MPs who remain intent on implementing their own extreme interpretation of the referendum result and pursuing a damaging Brexit. Labour is not providing any real or effective opposition and is also continuing to pursue policies which will lead to an almost equally damaging Brexit. Neither of the two main parties has any realistic or deliverable plan for a future relationship with the EU which will benefit the UK, neither has made any proposal for a solution to the problems of the border in Northern Ireland, and neither of them is willing to guarantee the rights of EU citizens living in the UK, nor to fight for the rights of UK citizens living in the EU. Chiswick Liberal Democrats continue to campaign for an Exit from Brexit. They invite everybody interested in the fight against Brexit and to retain our rights to join us for an intimate and inter-active event to get the latest behind the scenes insight about Brexit and EU citizens rights. We will discuss the latest developments in the Houses of Commons and Lords, and the actions we can all take to achieve an #ExitfromBrexit.

Yours Sincerely, ChiSwiCK lib demS

3 reasons why we should all

party with Harry and Meghan

When Jesus first called his fishermen disciples, what did he do? Did he take them on a retreat? Did he take them to the synagogue to teach them about the Jewish faith?No. He took them to a party! He took them with him to celebrate a wedding in a place called Cana.And he didn’t just sit there and soberly reflect, as other people got down to the serious partying. No. When the wine gave out, Jesus famously turned six enormous flagons of water into wine. So that the partying might continue.Well, there’s not much risk that the wine will give out at Harry and Meghan’s wedding. But why should we care? Why should we get involved? What has this wedding got to do with us? After all, we’ve never even met the happy couple.Let me give you three reasons why we should all celebrate on Saturday 19 May.1. It’s important to stop and notice the good things in lifeLife is not all about getting things done and keeping healthy so that we live long and productive lives. More important than longevity, I would say, is the density of our lives. How much we are present in our lives and truly enjoy them.Jesus and his disciples get criticised for not fasting and not being sober enough. But Jesus knows there are stresses to come and he says that it is important for his disciples to be happy and to eat and drink while they are together with him.So make the most of your chances to be with your friends and families and to celebrate special occasions. Any occasion really - where there is something to stop and give thanks for.And weddings – whether we know the couple or not – are always times to give thanks

for. As they stand for the joy of human relationships, the love we find in life with special people, the hope that together – for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health – we are all stronger.2. Celebrating is good for our healthOK, of course, we can over do it if we turn all the water into wine and drink too much of it. But parties are generally very good for our health.First, they reduce stress. When we celebrate with others, we can feel our cortisol levels falling and the oxytocin rising. Dancing, singing and laughing give us great natural highs.Laughing relaxes the whole body, boosts our immune system, triggers the release of endorphins (the body’s feel-good chemicals) and even protects our hearts by improving our circulation.So find something to celebrate – whether it’s the Royal Wedding or not – and get together with some friends, put on some music and have fun.3. Parties always turn water into wineEven if you are teetotal like me, parties are important

God’s Presents.

In your presence we are blessed.Every moment with you gives more depthto our whole being.

It helps us to love you better; serve you more. You lighten our load and empower us.

You awaken things in us that may have long been denied expression.

You heal us, comfort usand enrich our lives in so many ways.

And your greatest gift you save till last:the opportunity to blend and shareour lives with you, forever.

because they simply bring the world to life. They turn daily dreariness into a special time of rejoicing.Jesus comes with a serious message – that God wants our world to change, to change into a kingdom where we truly love one another, where we put others first. And he knows he is ultimately going to need to sacrifice his life for this message.But is Jesus dour and miserable in delivering his message?No. He says he has come so that people might have life. And have it in abundance. This is the underlying message of the miracle of turning water into wine. Not that God wants to restrict and deprive us. But that God wants to save us from the things that get in the way of having the very best lives possible.So don’t let the Royal Wedding hype get you down. On the contrary, embrace the opportunity to celebrate. Celebrate the love this particular couple share. Celebrate the love that people share all over the world. Celebrate the love that you share with your partner or

friends and family.Seize the moment. Notice the goodness in our lives. Set the scene by making it an occasion. Raise a toast. Say a prayer. Eat special food. Sing. Laugh. Light a candle. Remember that Jesus put partying first – not because the world was free of troubles. But because, whatever is happening in life, God is in the midst of it. Turning water into wine.St Paul’s Grove Park Royal Wedding party 11am-8pm on Sat 19 MaySt Michael’s Elmwood Rad Street Party 1-5pm on Sat 23 JuneUsual Sunday services at St Michael’s Elmwood Road are at 9.30am and 11am – with groups and activities for children.St Michael’s Church: www.stmichael-elmwoodroad.orgSubscribe to Martine Oborne’s blog here: www.martineoborne.com

Bowel Cancer Awareness: Understanding Bowel CancerWe’re speaking with BMI Syon Clinic’s Consult-ant Gastroenterologist, Dr Devinder Bansi to help raise awareness around this common, but commonly misunderstood cancer.What are the Bowel cancer sta-tistics?Dr Bansi notes that Bowel cancer is the fourth most common type of cancer in the UK[i], however with over 16,000 people dying from bowel cancer each year, it is the second biggest cause of cancer deaths. On average, about one in 16 people will develop bowel cancer in their lifetime, with the risk slightly higher for men[ii].What are the risk factors to be aware of?“There are a number of risk factors”, explains Dr Bansi, “these can be categorised by the following: Age – Your risk increases with age (but that doesn’t mean it can’t affect younger men and women).Family – You are at a greater risk if an immediate family member (parent, child, sib-ling) has had bowel cancer.Gene – If you carry the can-cer genes HNPCC or BRCA1 you are at greater risk. If you are unsure whether you carry either of the genes but are concerned, you can arrange a screening.Gender – Men are at greater risk of developing bowel can-cer. However, more than 5%

of women in the UK will be touched by bowel cancer in their lifetime.Medical conditions – If you have type 2 diabetes, ulcera-tive colitis or Crohn’s disease you are at a greater risk.Lifestyle - 54% of bowel can-cer cases in the UK each year are linked to major lifestyle factors with the below being some of the main risk factors evidenced[v] :• Processed meats includ-ing sausages, ham, bacon, chorizo, pepperoni• Alcohol • Smoking tobacco• X radiation and Gamma ra-diation• Inactivity and being over-weight”What is bowel cancer?Dr Bansi explains that the bowel is part of the digestive system. The digestive system processes the food we eat turning it into energy and re-moving any solid waste mat-ter the body doesn’t need. After swallowing your food, it passes down the oesophagus into your stomach. Digestion begins in the stomach before

continuing in the small bowel where the body absorbs nu-trients from the food. The di-gested food then moves into the large bowel. Bowel cancer refers to cancer that starts in the colon (large bowel) or rec-tum (back passage). It is also known as colorectal cancer. Most bowel cancers begin as a small growth called a polyp or adenoma. If left untreated, they may become cancerous.What are the symptoms of bowel cancer?Dr Bansi emphasises that it’s important to know that many of the symptoms of bowel cancer do not necessarily mean that you have bowel cancer – they could also be other conditions.But, if you are experienc-ing any one of the following symptoms, you should ar-range to see your GP as soon as possible.• Bleeding from your anus and/or blood in your poo• Changes in your bowel movements that last for 3 weeks or more, especially if there is loose or runny poo• Unexplained weight loss or

extreme tiredness• Pain or lumps felt in your tummy.Dr Bansi noted that “If the symptoms do indicate bowel cancer, remember that early detection can make a big dif-ference”. Over 90% of peo-ple who are diagnosed in the early stages of the disease are successfully treated.What to do next?“Age plays an important factor in the options that are avail-able to you” says Dr Bansi. “If you’re 60 to 74, you fall into the age range for the NHS bowel cancer stool testing kit, which you’ll get in the post every two years. The stool kit measure blood in the stool that is not visible to the na-ked eye, if positive then you will be referred for a colonos-copy”.Over 55s are also starting to be invited for a bowel scope screening, which is a more limited camera examina-tion (flexible sigmoidoscopy) which looks at your lower bowel and rectum.

Adventure Sports In BhutanNestled in the Eastern Him-alayas, Bhutan is known for its dramatic landscape, ranging from subtropical plains to steep mountains and valleys dotted with monasteries and fortresses. The Buddhist Kingdom is the ultimate sports mecca for outdoor and adventure pursuits, offering one-of-a-kind experiences in un-spoiled surroundings.Visitors can test their strength, stamina and endurance in a number of activities arranged and facilitated by a local Bhu-tanese tour guide. Home to one of the world’s most chal-lenging treks, The Snowman Trek, and one of the toughest cycling events, The Tour of the Dragon, the country tests even the most talented sport-speople.Below is Bhutan’s top adven-ture sports and events:Tour of the DragonThe annual Tour of the Drag-on is a one day cycling event, taking competitors through the heart of the geographical and cultural wonders of the Himalayan Kingdom, passing through forests, streams, riv-ers and four mountain pass-es. The mighty 268km event takes place on 1 September

2018, beginning in Bumthang and finishing at the clock tow-er in Bhutan’s capital, Thim-phu. The race is considered to be one of the most challeng-ing cycle races in the world.Kayaking and RaftingThe landlocked Kingdom boasts six major rivers (Wang Chhu, Sunkosh, Pa Chhu, Puna Tsang Chhu, Mangde Chhu, Kuri Chhu and Dangme Chhu) all suitable for kayak-ing and rafting. Each river of-fers a different course, from gentle streams to fast-flowing rapids, providing visitors of all abilities the chance to pad-dle down the rivers. Sports enthusiasts also interested in wildlife should keep their eyes peeled and look out for endangered species, such as the white-bellied heron and kingfishers along the river-banks.Bhutan International Mara-thonBhutan hosts an annual inter-national marathon and half marathon in spring each year. The 26.2/13.1 mile race is a fantastic way to explore the Kingdom, with the route fol-lowing the Mo Chhu River through rural Punakha Valley. The race starts at an elevation of 6,700 feet, before finish-

ing at the historic Pu-nakha Dzong.The Snowman TrekTraversing the most isolated corners of Bhutan and some of the highest attitudes in the Himalayas, the Snowman Trek is de-scribed as one of the hardest treks in the world. The 25 day trail navigates between Paro in the west and Bumthang in central Bhutan. The best time to hike the Snowman Trek is from mid-June to mid-October.

or bring questions to the ‘Ask the Gardener’ sessions. Picnics are actively encouraged.Head Gardener, Sean Harkin, commented:“The Inner Temple Garden has been cultivated since the 12th century and is a safe haven for lawyers, the public and wildlife between the busy Fleet Street and Embankment. Our Chelsea Fringe Festival ‘Great Garden Fête’ is an opportunity to invite all to our glorious garden for a fun day of games, competitions and miniature donkeys, while raising funds for Mental Health Awareness Week.”Greg Dorey, Sub-Treasurer (CEO) of the Inner Temple added “We’re excited to welcome every-one to this annual Sunday open-ing.

On 12th May 2018 commenc-ing at 7.30pm West London Sinfonia, a local orchestra based in Ealing but which performs regularly in Chis-wick, will be holding this concert in St Michaels Sut-ton Court in memory of Ida Doddridge, a parishioner and most generous benefactor to the orchestra, who died in 1998. It was a chance meet-ing in 1992 which introduced her to the orchestra, and after attending a concert, she took

the orchestra to heart and felt that it was worthy of a larger audience. This enthusiasm, linked with an ambitious and supportive committee, raised the orchestra to new heights of performance and public support.Ida was well known locally for good works for the church and for several local oranisa-tions and charities.The programme on May 12th will start with Beethoven’s Egmont Overture, followed

ST BeneDiCT’S CRiCkeTeRS ToUR SRi LAnkASt Benedict’s U14 and U15 cricket teams embarked on an exciting tour to Sri Lanka in April. As well as some great cricket played against out-standing teams, the itinerary included unforgettable excur-sions and an introduction to Sri Lankan cultureThe tour consisted of seven fixtures against Sri Lankan school teams. The most mem-orable of these was played at the magnificent Galle In-ternational Stadium. Fringed on two sides by the Indian Ocean, it is considered to be one of the most picturesque cricket grounds in the world! The tour included several fas-cinating excursions, taking in tea plantations, an elephant sanctuary and a visit to the Temple of the Tooth in Kandy - one of the most important Buddhist sites in Sri Lanka. In contrast, there was also a city tour of Colombo and a Sri Lankan Culture Show, which reached its climax with fire walking! The boys stayed in three different locations - Kandy, Hikkadua and Mount Lavinia, near Colombo.A highlight of the tour was an inspiring afternoon at the Foundation of Goodness in Seenigama near Hikkaduwa. The charity, which is sup-

ported by the MCC, has trans-formed the lives of rural com-munities in Sri Lanka since the Tsunsmi of 2004, through providing education and sporting opportunities. After touring the Foundation, and finding out about its work, the boys played football and cricket with a group of happy, talented and very enthusi-astic children. St Benedict’s presented the charity with a cheque for £7,000, raised this year by pupils throughout the school. The presentation was made at the Cricket Café in Colombo, and was attended by Rangana Herath, the most successful left-arm bowler in the history of test cricket and great supported of the Foun-dation.St Benedict’s Senior Master, Dicky Thomas, said: “This brilliant tour provided won-derful experiences, and fea-tured three great wins in challenging and unfamiliar conditions. Congratulations to all the boys who took part!”

QPR SUFFER DISAPPOINTING DEFEAT IN FINAL GAMEOn Sunday, Queens Park Rangers suffered a 2-0 loss against Leeds at Elland Road.The scoring was opened by Leeds on the half hour mark following a corner. The visi-tors were unable to clear the ball, and a poor attempted clearance went straight back towards the QPR goal. Roofe was waiting on the edge of the six yard box in acres of space, and acrobatically bicy-cle kicked the ball past a help-less Lumley to put his side ahead.The hosts were able to double their lead just two minutes af-ter the break. Lumleys scuffed kick fell to the feet of Phillips, who drove toward the QPR box, then shifted the ball onto his stronger left shot and beat the keeper at his near post with a venomous strike.The Hoops created essen-tially nothing going forward throughout the ninety min-utes meaning Leeds saw out a comfortable 2-0 victory. QPR ended the season 16th, comfortably clear of relega-tion but six points away from a top-half finish. Hoops boss Holloway stated the reasons for his sides loss “The young lads have got to learn but

there was probably too many youngsters in there to learn all together. But I will say that I think Leeds played very well.

FULHAM SQUANDER CHANCE FOR AUTOMATIC PROMOTIONBirmingham were able to survive the final-day threat of relegation with a 3-1 vic-tory at home against Fulham. Since Cardiff drew, the Cot-tagers would’ve obtained automatic promotion if they had won. Despite having been unbeat-en in their last 24 fixtures, Fulham conceded after just fifteen minutes. Jutkiewicz was able to arrive into the six yard box to fire Harding’s whipped cross into the back of the net, to give his side an early lead.The hosts continued to domi-nate and eventually doubled their lead. Jota’s cross to the back post found Dean in space, who simply nodded the ball past Bettinelli. The ex-Brentford men were able to link up to haunt their pre-vious rivals. The visitors made sure it was a nervy ending for the Blues when in the 84th minute,

Cairney latched onto Ayité’s cross. Although it had seemed the young Scotsman’s touch had taken the ball away from him, he bravely leaped with Stockdale and headed the ball past the keeper. However, this ended up mere-ly being a consolation goal since Birmingham were able to seal the victory with a third goal five minutes later. Adams drove down the left wing, and before reaching the byline, he drilled a low shot across goal. Bettinelli was able to get a hand to the attempt, but was unable to direct it away, so it flew into the back of the net. Only minutes later, the ref-eree blew his whistle for full time, ending the game at 3-1, and ending Fulham’s hopes of automatic promotion. Cottag-ers boss Jokanovic revealed that “We’re disappointed, not because we’re in the play-offs. We’re disappointed because we lost a great chance to win

They moved the ball well and caused us problems.” Howev-er the manager did emphasise “I am still very proud of the

Quins Suffer Fifth Successive Defeat In Kingston’s Final Match

On Saturday, Harlequins faced league leaders Exeter Chiefs in their final game of the season. The Chiefs simply used this match, which was a bonus point win, as prepara-tion for the playoffs.Initially the Quins went ahead through Marcus Smith’s con-verted try, however, the pre-miership winners bounced back in the first half. Dave Ewers scored, Dave Dennis bagged a brace and Joe Sim-monds crossed. This domi-nance continued into the second half with Tom Hen-drickson and Alec Hepburn also scoring.Not only did this loss mean

the London based club fin-ish the season with a run of five successive defeats, but it also meant Kingston’s time in charge had a disappointing finish. The Director of Rugby claimed “we’ve lost confi-dence somewhere along the line and dreamed up things that weren’t right. As a con-sequence you start doubting everything you’re doing.” But he also emphasised “The fu-ture for Harlequins is very positive - I believe the squad we have here is the strongest assembled in my 17 years at the club.”

the game. It’s part of football and we must be ready for the challenge. We cannot be sat-isfied. It’s simple. We didn’t play well enough.” The man-ager also emphasised “I al-ways believe we are going to win the next game. Because we lost one game, I am not going to change my mind. We showed quality. The charac-ter we showed many times - and we are going to be ready for the next game.”

eVenTfUL DRAW AT GRiffin PARk on THe finAL DAY of THe SeASon

Hull City travelled to Griffin Park on Sunday for Brent-ford’s final game of the sea-son. Since the Bees’ playoff push had been cut short due to their loss against Barnsley in their previous fixture, and Hull had just about avoided relegation, neither side des-perately needed all three points. The hosts began the match on the front foot and came close to opening the scoring in the 7th minute. Yennaris slotted the ball in between the Hull defence to put Marcondes through on goal, however, the forward fluffed his lines and his attempted finish rolled past the wrong side of the post.Brentford’s early dominance continued and eventually translated into a goal just five minutes later. Judge’s danger-ous cross was not dealt with properly by Aina whose poor clearance looped up into the air over the Hull City box. The initial header was won by Marcondes, who nodded it towards the centre of the box where Canos was waiting. The Spaniard leapt first and headed the ball across goal and into the back of the net. Despite Brentford dominating the rest of the first half, the visitors found an equaliser in the second minute of first half stoppage time, against the run of play. Liverpool loanee Wilson whipped an inviting ball towards the back post,

and Toral was able to nod it down into the path of Bowen, who poked the ball into the back of the net.With both sides pushing for a winner in the second half, there were countless chances for each side. Eight minutes after the break, Marcondes broke down the right wing and drilled a low ball across the face of goal. However, Mokotjo was unable to con-trol his wild effort from close range which flew over the crossbar.Brentford keeper Daniels then made an absolutely shocking mistake in the 57th minute when his poor pass was in-tercepted, allowing Campbell to drive through on goal. The keeper then clumsily took down the striker and con-ceded an obvious penalty. It was Wilson, who has recent-ly been in fine scoring form, who stood over the penalty, and although his strike was powerful, Daniels predicted where it would be placed, and palmed it away to safety. In the final minutes of the match it was Brentford who were on top. They came close to finding a winner when Judge’s strike from range went narrowly wide and Mar-condes’ header only just flew over the bar following a cor-ner. The hosts were unable to take any of their chances and eventually the referee blew the final whistle to end the match as a 1-1 draw.

Holloway Departs With McClaren Backed To Become New QPR Boss

Louis YamaniSports Editor

Yesterday Queens Park Rang-ers announced that manager Ian Holloway had left the club with immediate effect, despite still having another 12 months remaining on his contract. This season Hollo-way led the Hoops to a 16th placed finish in the Champi-onship and after returning to the club for his second time in charge, he oversaw 80 match-es, winning 26, drawing 14 and losing 40.Club CEO Lee Hoos stated “On behalf of the Board we are hugely grateful to Ian for his incredible efforts during his time with us. He joined us at a critical stage as we looked to reduce the wage bill, bring in younger talent and remain competitive on the pitch at

The Bees finished the season in ninth position, six points behind Derby who managed to keep ahold of the last play-off position. In Dean Smiths post-match interview, he ad-dressed the recent specula-tion on both his own and

his players’ futures; “There’s always going to be specula-tion about managers or play-ers when a side does well, particularly when it’s a club our size. But there is a long-term plan at this club and I’m acutely aware of what I have

got here and that is always a big factor.” But the manager alluded to his commitment to the club; “It is a proper family club - in fact I was shocked to see my daughter walk out for the lap of honour with me. If you leave it’s not always rosy

and the grass isn’t always greener. There has to be a good reason to leave rather than moving on all the time.”

the same time.” Countless youngsters have spent plenty of time in the first team this season, with players like Paul Smyth, Eberechi Eze and Bright Osayi-Samuel all flour-ishing under Holloway. Hoos continued “That is no easy task and it was down to his desire, love for the club and hard work that he achieved those goals. However, we are now looking to take the next step as we continue to work through what is a vital period of transition for the football club.”Director of Football Les Fer-dinand added “We would like to place on record our sincere thanks to Ian for all his efforts. His enthusiasm and passion for the club can

never be questioned and we are immensely grateful to him for helping us during his time here.”Although an announcement regarding Holloway’s replace-ment has not yet been made, this departure was announced amid reports that former Eng-land manager Steve McClaren is to be appointed new boss.

Set alongside the Grand Union Canal, Brentford Lock West forms part of a long-term regeneration project to breathe new life into Brentford. Close to local shops, leisure facilities, beautiful parks and waterside walkways, the scheme has been carefully designed to maximise the water frontage whilst offering stylish homes and community spaces in a new desirable west London destination.

The wider development already enjoys a real sense of community, making it a genuinely vibrant, friendly and welcoming place to live.

A few soundbites from some of our purchasers:

“We have a huge terrace and we are just a short stroll from some great parks and outside spaces – it’s such a great location.”

“Our balcony and the huge windows allow us to really enjoy the superb setting here. From our apartment it is an easy stroll up to the high street and we’ve discovered some lovely little restaurants and cafes.”

“We literally step outside of our front door and we have immediate access to the water and some lovely outside spaces. I regularly enjoy going for a run along the canal towpath, which takes you right up to Boston Manor Park. The area has so much to offer and the water itself is a hub of activity.”

“There is so much going on in Brentford already and with all the regeneration plans underway, it is only going to get better. To be situated directly on the water and with or own balcony, overlooking the canal, is like a dream come true…”

“We were really impressed with the high-level of specification, as well as the space and light that the apartment offers us. What’s more, we’ve got almost immediate access onto the canal – where there is always something happening from paddle boarding to canoeing.” Images: Stock, Marketing Suite and Grand Union Canal.

A tranquil waterside setting with all the benefits of easy access into the city
