Assets of Community Value

Published: 16 Jan 2016

We are engaged in registering our first Asset of Community Value in Hammersmith – the Anglesea Arms in Wingate Rd, W6.

Registration does not prevent an Asset from closing down or changing hands, but the community is informed of any proposed sale and has an opportunity to buy the Asset. Even if a purchase is not practical, registration prevents a sudden sale from under the community nose.

The owner of the Asset is informed of the registration and is thus aware of the value placed on it by local residents. If you have been a patron of the Anglesea Arms you can help register it with a supporting letter. Please contact me and see this guidance for more details.

The landmark Shepherds Bush lost. If I could travel back in time and place a cast iron protection order on this fabulous entrance to the 1908 Franco British Exhibition, I would.

@OnLondon @sarahjolney1 We think that option was ruled out a month or 2 ago. There's a lower cost option to provide a temp. foot + bike bridge so that #Hammersmith bridge can be fully closed and rebuilt. Recently restrictions are or were so severe cycling wasn't even allowed.
