Did the mean Hounslow the town or Hounslow Borough?

If they meant Hounslow borough then that takes in Chiswick, Brentford and
Osterley.
ie some of the places directly affected by the tram route which as the
article says
'may' force additional cars into those areas.

Hounslow the town may well say yes to the West london tram as they would not
be directly affected.
Hounslow needs a tram itself (along the A315 from Chiswick to Feltham) but I
have doubts anyone would vote for one.

PS out of interest, nobody surveyed in Hounslow explicitly opposed

The whole project has had zero impact on Hounslow, the question
might as well have been "Do you support trams".

Without further knowledge on just how traffic flow might be
affected in the area, I don't see how anyone can really comment
either way.

Which is why, no doubt, TfL chose to announce very late in the
consultation the recommended diversionary routes for traffic forced off
the Uxbridge Road at places like Acton High Street. The information was
in an extra .pdf file on their site, but they didn't bother to tell all
the people who had by then received the consultation leaflet which
omitted that information. One wonders how much those surveyed in
Hounslow were told about the diversionary routes.
