Some Brentford residents are so concerned about confusing messages coming from Hounslow Council, that they have set up a petition to keep the Watermans Arts centre in Brentford.
See the Keep Watermans in Brentford petition.
Our website Brentford Dock Right Now, is an independant website run by Brentford Dock residents and is not an official website for Brentford Dock Limited or the Management office.
It is only two weeks to go now! If you plan to enjoy this event from the shores of the River Thames then the Thames Diamond Jubilee Pageant website is full of useful information.

John says, "Nadine and I took over the Brewery Tap a week ago from the long serving Macfarlanes and have been enjoying every minute of it. The Tap is a gem of a pub and I promise you, you won't find many pubs like it!
The live music is here to stay and we hope to push it forward and even expand it - if possible.
There will be a refurb by Fullers in the near future but nothing too radical.
We have got the kitchen up and running and a limited menu will be on offer until we have figured out what folk would like"
