Waterman's should stay where it is.
2. If not, it should stay in Brentford.
3. If it moves to Hounslow town it will be lost forever. Many thousands of 'regulars' will just not be interested.

]]> Tue, 3 Sep 2013 07:52:57 UTC 15730056 Mrs jill rustad [Signature #732] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/15717963?utm_medium=rss Watermans in Brentford has opened up that part of the borough to those of us in the west of the area for entertainment. A popular venue. Chiswick has nothing similar. Hounslow has a theatre - Chiswick does not. It would be a backward step to remove such a popular facility from this area. It should be possible to include a Watermans in any new rebuild in Brentford and would be incredibly short sighted to move it from the area. It is a credit to those that had the foresight to build a Watermans in the first place in Brentford - a backward step to remove it out of the area. So why take it away from Brentford ? Surely you would wish to keep such a facility for the future of your people in this part of the borough ?

This is too valuable and long-established a community resource to lose or damage in any way. It takes time to build support for such a centre. Why risk such goodwill?

It fulfills a need in the area and moving it would destroy its unique and rather quirky character.

Why change what works so well?
