Save Orleans Riverside from Development

Doesn't seem a suitable location due to issues of access via Orleans Road which is not wide enough for two cars to pass and has no pavement at key points. This presents a very real danger to visiting public and residents alike. Of course traffic flow will increase, this is a great boat and worth a trip to visit and many will come by car only to be stuck on Orleans Road unable to pass traffic traveling in the opposite direction. Local stations are too far away to service the site suitably well. It would be better sited on Eel pie island in a custom made boat shed or elsewhere - preferably within the borough if possible and with parking provision and proximity to public transport. The concept of housing Gloriana in Twickenham (or within the LBRuT) is one thing to debate and possibly a good idea. This site should not be considered as it is wholly inappropriate, why so much time and resource has been dedicated to this is beyond reason and should be flagged up with the relevant body. Has anyone been appointed to consider sites in an open manner with public engagement? Why was the process leading to selection of this site undertaken behind closed doors from May 2013 only to suddenly be made public over a year later? The approach has caused a great (and reasonable) degree of resentment locally, particularly with regard to such large sums being set aside to investigate what is hardly a necessary public service in a time of cuts to crucial services for many within the borough.
