Working together to make West Ealing a better place for residents, businesses and visitors.
The new Lidl store in West Ealing opens its doors on Thursday 20th February.
Sainsbury’s will close an hour earlier at 9pm Monday to Saturday from Monday 3rd March. Is this a result of an increase in business rates and employer national insurance making that last hour from 9-10pm uneconomic?
An area in West Ealing south from Sainsbury’s in Melbourne Ave has been cordoned off by the police following a serious incident last night. It’s not clear exactly where the incident was and what happened but it must be serious for such a large area to be cordoned off. Roads closed include Melbourne Ave, Regina Road, St James Ave, Adelaide rd, St Kilda Road and Oaklands Road.
Tuesday 10.15am
Update 1pm
According to the MyLondon news website a man was stabbed and killed in the Oaklands Road area of Hanwell last night
St James Church has been unoccupied since the summer of 2018. All manner of ideas have been proposed for its use but it looks like the Church of England wanted to keep it as a religious venue.
Just before Christmas we suddenly saw scaffolding going up and builders’ trucks coming and going. It didn’t take long for information to emerge about the building being taken over by the Assyrian Church, St Mary’s Cathedral, which was until very recently in Hanwell.
Their website has full information about their faith and all their activities in the community.The formal opening will be on the weekend of the 15th and 16th February so no wonder there’s so much work going on to be ready in time.
It’s a relief to see the building brought back into use, so we welcome the new church to our local community.
Your Voice Your Town is a Council run initiative to involve local residents in some key decisions for their area. It fills a bit of the gap left when the ward forums were stopped a few years ago.
For Ealing, Feeling Safe was chosen as the top priority, as voted by local people who either live, work and/or study in Ealing Town. There were 468 votes cast, and the most votes went to – Feeling Safe (27.4%) with Community Facilities (27.1%) closely behind. Thank you to everyone who took the time to cast their vote.
There is a two-hour workshop on Thursday 13th February from 7-9pm at The Atrium, Perceval House, 14-16 Uxbridge Road, Ealing W5 2HL.The workshop is designed to create a vision for an Ealing area where people have an increased feeling of safety, where you get to define what that looks like, and share how you can be part of creating that change. Whether you have practical suggestions, creative ideas, or a passion for community improvement, your input is invaluable. Ealing’s elected ward councillors, council officers, and other stakeholders will be present to offer their support as the conversation unfolds. Please register your place at this workshop via this Eventbrite page, before 5pm, Monday 10 February.
It will be an open space that welcomes individuals of all backgrounds, levels of experience, ability and knowledge. Ealing has a fund of £120,000 and the support of local skills, resources and expertise to be invested in community-led projects.
