Peter Mason, when he become Ealing Council Leader, said on Tuesday 18th May 2021 that, "I will lead an open, inclusive and transparent council, that engages local people in the challenges we face" (source: Ealing Today 20/05/2021).Yet Ealing Council cannot seem to maintain access to their Planning Portal. Over the last three days the "Search for a planning application" has not been accessible/available. Are Ealing Council making it deliberately harder for people to comment on planning applications? Therefore, they are not really being open, inclusive and transparent. They abolished notifying people affected by planning applications with a Planning Notification Letter, six and half years ago. They, it seems, are not really serving the public. Endearing themselves to developers at the expense of the people seems to be their underlying trait/characteristic.
