Cllr Steve Curran, Head of Hounslow Council said, “Last Thursday, I and the majority of people in the borough voted to remain in the European Union. However, in Hounslow the margin between the votes to ‘Remain’ and ‘Leave’ was slim; reflecting the country’s split view.
"My view is that we must respect the country’s decision to leave the EU but that in Hounslow we must learn more about why people voted the way they did. It’s crucial that we work together and talk with and listen to all our communities to ensure that everyone feels that they belong in Hounslow."
