Well, you're probably not too bad from that point of view - I expect you're Hounslow borough there, though the Bedford Park area, which comes under Ealing, is also W4. Either way, I think it's a bit like here in Brent, where they are currently conveniently ignoring the fact that the only building with any character on Willesden High Road, the original little library in front of the current library, is in a conservation area and, deaf to protests, are determined to demolish it and inflict some ghastly modern box on us instead - a plain brown envelope or a slap-up meal gets anything through.
Just don't make the mistake of moving further into town and ending up in Kensington & Chelsea borough - it's not just the well-publicised broadband outlook that is a bit gloomy there, they enjoy making life difficult in every respect and are so fond of petty rules requiring you to fill in a hundred page form in triplicate that it'll take you six months to get a permit to sneeze.
