Is Sunbury Common a bit of a shithole?

Not that it did my predictions much good ....
.... I think Sunbury Common will be quite a familiar place to many in the sense that it is centred on the tower blocks of Sunbury Cross that mark the rather dramatic beginning of the Greater London conurbation as one approaches by the M3.
And yes, Spelthorne would have been in Greater London would it not if it had not objected to being absorbed, which is why it preferred to be administratively placed in Surrey despite being on the wrong side of the Thames.
I once was involved in giving evidence to a boundary enquiry about Euro election constituencies and witnessed the visceral dislike among Spelthorne Conservatives to anything which might suggest they could be linked with Hounslow, this against Conservative Central Office's own preferred plan. All kinds of spurious reasons were advanced against the idea of a common link concerning the airport, including some Terminals having 'a different character'! There seemed to be an unspoken implication about the different nature of residents too. It amazed me when Kwasi Kwarteng was selected to replace David Wilshire.
I collect non-league football grounds, and Ashford (Middlesex) is very proud of its name, which appears in all results.
I've lived in Twickenham for 25 years and have heard very little resentment, or mention, of the 'cross-county' link with Richmond; which has the borough name, bbut not the postcode (TW).

Middlesex County Council might have been, Middlesex most certainly wasn't. Yes it was. Middlesex ceased to exist as a county in 1964, when Greater London was created. |

What proportion of voters in the ward and division are postal voters? Pimp was talking upthread about turnout being upwards of 50% amongst them, and you'd assume recent revelations will produce different figures amongst those voting yesterday.

I guess they did have a strong candidate until he imploded and that he must have got a very decent number of postal votes but probably rather few votes cast on the day

I presume the changes for Meopham are with the previous by-election there (rather than the 2011 vote)??
