Chiswick RNLI Volunteer Wins Second Met Commendation
Mark Pusey stopped his car for a woman in distress by the Thames. The Met has given the Chiswick RNLI volunteer his second commendation in two years.
Hounslow is a long strip of west London that follows the Thames and then the A4 out towards the airport. Chiswick is at the eastern end, then Brentford, Gunnersbury, Syon, Isleworth and Osterley, then Hounslow town itself, Heston, Cranford, Hanworth, Bedfont and Feltham at the far end. People in Chiswick do not usually say they live in Hounslow, and they are not being awkward: it is eight miles away.
They do share a council, though, and that is what this site is built on. The same authority decides the parking zones, the bin rounds, the licences and the planning applications from Turnham Green to Feltham. We read what it publishes and report what is in it, with the source linked every time.
Every fact links to the official document behind it.
