Twyford Abbey redevelopment

There are new proposals to develop the Twyford Abbey site in West Twyford. Angie went along to the one-day exhibition to discuss them with the architect, Nigel Butcher. She said afterwards that they are interesting plans with the potential to save the crumbling Twyford Abbey building.

However, as ever with these developments, her concerns lie chiefly around the issues of over-stretching of local public services

"West Twyford residents lost their nearby GP surgery when it was closed at the Central Middlesex Hospital back in 2007 and there is still no replacement. The new development would bring in more residents who would also need a local GP as well as school places for their children and other services. The Council, as well as other local service providers, will need to consider this carefully when the application is put before them."
