Given the recent bad press concerning sheds with beds and illegal immigrants sleeping rough under the M4 is there anyone else out there ashamed to admit they live in the London Borough of Hounslow?

With the area being likened to a slum is it any wonder the high street is dead and reputable business does not want to invest in the area? Who is to blame? All too often our local authority is a soft target. Aren't the residents and local business people really the guilty ones.....afterall they make up the community......how can we engage the ethnic majority in the environs of Hounslow who seem to live on as opposed to live in the wider community? Are they the ones who should really be held to account? Let me know what you think and what we should do...........
