Hounslow Council has welcomed a delegation of business leaders and politicians from a suburb of Paris.

Issy les Moulineaux has been twinned with Hounslow enabling it to share business ideas about global brands like Sky and Pernod Ricard.

Leader of Hounslow Council Steve Curran presented a replica of the “Hounslow Boar” to the French deputy Major.

The original Iron Age relic was discovered in the 19th century by labourers digging in a field and is synonymous with Hounslow’s history.
