Heston Community School has teamed up with David Cameron's former stomping ground Eton in a bid to help its brainiest pupils.

The brightest 10 per cent of youngsters from the secondary school in Heston Road, Heston, will receive master classes in a variety of subjects at the exclusive college.

Furious parents claim children will be left kicking their heels if controversial plans to build on playing fields in Heston get the go-ahead.

More than 100 new homes have been proposed for green sites across Brabazon estate in a desperate attempt to solve Hounslow's social housing crisis.

Pensioners are still meeting in a dilapidated Scout hut more than two years after plans for a new day centre got the green light.

Legal wranglings mean Heston & Isleworth Older People's Centre is no closer to realising its dream of a new meeting place - despite no one apparently objecting to the proposals.

The long-awaited Heston Schools project (pictured) is finally set to get underway after the latest plans received the green light.

A new infant and junior school and improved facilities for students at Heston Community School in Heston Road, Heston, are scheduled to open in September 2011.

Plans for 225 homes and 13 industrial units at the old Lascar Works site in Staines Road, Hounslow, were also approved.

Heston residents are being urged to look out for the symptoms of a heart attack as part of a campaign launched recently.

The area is among the top 13 'at risk' London boroughs for the killer disease according to the British Heart Foundation, but many residents have no idea about the warning signs.

The Hounslow Animal Welfare Society has hundreds of unwanted cats on the books - and are set to have more as the breeding season gets into full swing.

The group runs an adoption centre at the Pets at Home store in London Road, Brentford, every weekend from 11am - 3.45pm.

A shortfall in school governors has sparked a recruitment drive by the council.

There are currently 1126 governor posts in the borough's schools, and 119 (10.6 per cent) are currently vacant.
