Thames Water exploratory bore-holes

Can you please correct the following place names for the sites of the bore-holes? Thank you.It should be Verbena Gardens (between Hammersmith Terrace and the Great West Road; and Queen Caroline Street (not Queen Charlotte Street)I am not clear where is "Marryat Court", near the corner of Rivercourt Road and the Great West Road?

The LBHF website map seems to show two in Furnival Gardens or at its edges - it's a small scale map and a little hard for me to read.A bigger issue is whether LBHF Council is right to condemn the super-sewer as a mis-investment of £2.2bn. I am no expert and suspect the councillors are not either. It is a fact that unacceptable amounts of sewage get into the river especially when the storm drains are under pressure, quite apart from the discharges at Beckton.

There is currently one borehole in Furnivall Gardens, between the east and west halves, near the path which runs north-south through the middle. The work started after the Bank Holiday. The workmen there say that they will be finished by the end of this week, i.e. a week early.I live right next to Furnivall Gardens, in Upper Mall.

So why is this Shaun Bailey peddling misinformation?

It seems Hammersmith Today map now shows the Shaun Bailey map which includes 2 boreholes in Furnival Gardens. However, the text states the court order only covers 4 locations and Furnival is not one of these.

Marryat Court is a low rise flat block and houses on Cromwell Avenue. The Quaker Meeting House is next to these flats, at the Great West Road end. Have you noticed the map in the latest Council newspaper has two boreholes shown in Furnival Gardens, contradicting the map in the HammersmithToday feature, which has none. Who is feeding this misinformation? and why?
