I agree with the tunnel but can see some argument about the impact of the work at the Warple site, esp from Factory Quarter residents....Given LBHF's strident opposition clever of TW to use a site just over the border in LBE. However another major site is planned for Hammersmith Pumping station using a currently vacant development site. The alternatives are Frank Banfield Park or over the river(in LB Richmond) using a large chunk of St Paul's School playing fields. So I presume LBHF Tory Councillors will be pushing for the school site to be used.....not!Two of the storm outflows at Hammersmith/Barnes (Stamford Brook and North Western) are not to be connected to the tunnel but will be 'indirectly controlled' and no work is planned for a third (Brook Green) I would like more  info on these.The tunnel will be very deep and from Warple Way will follow the old railway line route crossing King St and under the river at Chiswick Mall so will not affect Hammersmith properties. I wonder if the route could be shifted eastwards slightly to run under Mr Raj Bhatia's house...see the start of  this video to find out why! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E5LNr9XMnZc
