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 13^th 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.
