Tories cut Hanwell's Park Rangers

Over recent months the Tory Council has made stealth cuts to the Borough’s frontline Park Rangers. They are also closing the Ranger Base in Brent Lodge (Bunny) Park. This is bound to have a negative effect on the amount of patrols and conservation work in Hanwell’s parks and open spaces. Despite a strong campaign by residents and a petition of 552 signatures, Hobbayne’s Tory councillors demonstrated a marked lack of sympathy for local concern and actively supported the cuts which they labelled ‘efficiency savings’. Once again they have shown themselves to be out of touch and unwilling to represent the views or act in the best interests of the local people they serve.
