West Ealing Neighbours - Public Meeting - 30th September 7.30pm
Please find below a brief outline of the topics for our next public meeting which is on Wednesday 30th September in Dean Hall (off Singapore Road) starting at 7.30pm: 1. Report back on our work about improving pedestrian safety at the Lido Junction. This meeting will be the public launch for our proposals not just about improving the Lido Junction but also improving some of the traffic and pedestrian problems in surrounding roads. 2. The problem of street drinking, especially in Dean Gardens, gets raised at almost every local meeting about West Ealing. We hope to get at least one speaker from the Council or its agencies to tell us more about what they are doing to help street drinkers and if, for example, we as residents should lobby for more services to help tackle this problem. 3. What will be the impact of climate change and the eventual running out of oil on our lives? More importantly, what should we be doing about it now? Trevor Sharman from Ealing Transition, a new group set up to look at these issues and do something about them locally, will explain more about what they mean and what practical steps we could begin to take locally to prepare for the imapct of these two events. 4. WEN has been working hard with the Council to find ways of making use of the 'dead space' at the top of St James Avenue and to counteract the impact of empty shops by making use of their windows for various displays - local art, local history photos etc. We would very much like to hear your ideas on this and any other local issues that concern you. WEN blogWe have just launched a WEN blog http://www.westealingneighbours.org.uk/WEN-blog/ which we're using to follow the public consultation on the Local Development Framework - Ealing's future from 2011-2026. I hope you can take a few moments to dip in and let us know what you think about the way the Council is trying to decide our future.
