Ealing Half Marathon to Return on 26 September 2021 – If Enough Runners Register

Around 5,000 runners normally take part and over the years over £2.5 million has been raised for good causes. The race starts and ends in Lammas Park, West Ealing.

I had my second Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine jab yesterday at Ealing Town Hall. It was very busy and well organised. It seemed strange entering the Town Hall again but pleasing to see it being put to such useful public purpose.

Ealing Has More Potholes Than Any Other London Borough

In the period 2018 – 2020, 8,850 potholes were recorded on Ealing’s roads. The information came to light after a GoCompare Car Freedom of Information request.
