I cannot help feeling that local government, whoever is in power, can lose sight of what it is trying to achieve. Shepherd's Bush Green now has bright yellow broad paths to excess, and the playground that should serve the children from the four tower blocks to the south (and the rest of the area) is located in the north-west corner. Curious.  And tennis courts free for all are a no-no to a council that believes nothing is valued unless paid for.

The plus is that the war memorial is no longer fenced in, as it always seemed wrong to me on Remembrance Sunday for there to be a them (outside the railings) and us (within), but the need for vigilance to prevent desecration remains.

The outcome is soulless. So keen have the powers that be to enable commuters to scurry unhindered to and from the tube station that they have made it a typical architects' drawing piazza, full of stick people and wholly unlike the real people who actually want to use the green to relax, exercise the dog, play with their children, quietly enjoy the sun on its rare visits etc. A fail,  in my book, and at £2.6million a costly one. How does a project like this get to cost so much?
