Woken up by my 5 year old son at 3.00am this morning saying ”Mummy there are helicopters everywhere” the reality hit me that the rioting had come to the ‘Queen of the Suburbs’. I held my son in my arms with my heart beating fast genuinely scared at the thuggery and wanton organised violence that has now spread to West London.
Working together to make West Ealing a better place for residents, businesses and visitors.
I am so sorry to hear how this has impacted upon your family.
I only moved to Ealing Broadway last week and I honestly thought that the rioting would not spread to this affluent area.
I hope that the decent people can help each other at this terrible time.
We spent the night looking out for looters and potential arsonists, monday night was a nightmare I never imagined i would see scenes of utter anarchy and the police completely overwhelmed. Our nerves have been stretched to their limits, but we battle on!!! Luckily we escaped the mobs. I really feel for the other traders that were ransacked and the others that were forced to close. Lets hope it all dies down and the many underlying problems are addressed.
