Residents near Ravenscourt Park tube station are campaigning to have the Piccadilly line serve their stop because it offers a much more reliable service than the District Line it is currently served by. After the completion of Crossrail, fewer tourists will use the Piccadilly Line and the line becomes a more local service. Would TfL be willing to have it serve all District Line stations on the stretch between South Kensington and Chiswick Park?

A planning application was submitted to the LB of Hounslow for residential use of the barge CUJO moored in the Thames and converted into 7 flats. The owner claims that it will provide a source of low cost housing. How legitimate is it for a developer to take up such a big chunk of the River Thames with a 38x 5,5m barge for commercial use and can we expect to see more of these real estate moorings appear in the future? Are developers offering such accommodation exempt from having to comply with building regulations that apply for normal housing?

A large number of new or refurbished homes along the River Lea have had misconnected plumbing installed by builders, who mixed up plumbing for rainwater and toilet waste. These faulty draining systems pump raw sewage into the River Lea, which then flows directly into the waters surrounding the Olympics site. Adding to the problem are the Deephams sewage works in Edmonton releasing effluence into the river when heavy rain pushes the tanks to capacity. What can be done to ensure builders and homeowners properly install domestic plumbing to help prevent the river Lea becoming polluted?
