...everyone knows everyone, even the postman. They all look out for each other.  I love it so much, I bought a house here a few yards from my mum's.  Miss S.

The negatives are that drivers seldom say 'thank you' when you give way (very annoying) and there really should be wheelie bins as most Fridays the rubbish is littered on the street. This in turn has attracted rats - we have seen one roaming around our garden. This is purely down to the council not providing wheelie bins.

The area standards are low and should be increased. Heston would be better if the borough and government put some MONEY and EFFORT into supporting its needs. If this area was improved in every way for example security, littering, lamp streets, graffiti, leisure clubs, etc, then this would make Heston stand out and shine. Rather then Heston being shadowed by its problems.

Thank you for letting me expresses my views on the area, as I have been living and working in Heston for 40 years.

Heston has everything, affordable housing, good schools, excellent traffic links to the M4 & the M3 & M25.

It has also maintained its' wonderful village atmosphere and cherishes its' community atmosphere.

Depending on my job situation I would very much like to continue living in Heston and in particular The Crossways for many more years to come.

Some excellent schools in the area. Friendly village shops with local library and Leisure Centre (including pool). Four pubs, two chippies, one Chinese and one Indian (which holds the award of top Indian chef for curries in the UK for the last number of years). Local traffic can be a bit choca during rush hour as it receives all the Southall traffic going to Hounslow.
