You're making an unfounded assumption. I merely asked a question.

The buildings that will need to be demolished at The Lido in West Ealing are
merely lockup shops built on the front gardens of the houses. Whilst some of
them undoubtedly provide useful employment and services and as buildings are
probably sound even if of "lightweight" construction. However, they are not
by any stretch of the imagination "architecturally interesting".

As a road junction The Lido crossroads is tight and awkward. I would suggest
that the proposed slight widening will benefit the flow of all traffic.

With the exception of the increased traffic levels over the intervening
years why should reinstated trams along the Uxbridge Road be any more of a
problem than they were previously?
