We hope the good people of #SanFrancisco will forgive us for adapting a song about their city in 1967 to address the shocking and tragic events in #Minnesota in recent weeks.

Ruislip CAB Site Plans: Six New Homes and Parking Revisions proposed by Hillingdon Council

After ten years of delays and repeated assurances that proposals were “imminent”, a planning application has now been published for the former Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) site and the adjoining St Martin’s Approach car park. The scheme effectively swaps the use of the two areas. A terrace of six new family houses is proposed on part of the existing St Martin’s Approach public car park, continuing the established building line of the road.
