A brass plaque on the back of a seat which has been installed in Edensor Gardens, Chiswick, reads "From the local residents to the local residents". The seat, which cost £160, was ceremoniously ‘unveiled’ by Conservative councillor Jo Langton when she cut a white ribbon. The money was raised by people living on the estate from raffle ticket sales. Said Mrs Dee Page one of the organisers: "We are hoping to raise enough money for another seat, as well as a Christmas party. Many old people live around here and appreciate somewhere to rest for a few minutes". She added: "Hounslow council were very helpful and arranged to instal the seat". One of the residents' dogs Sam is seen on the right adding his voice of appreciation.
