Conserve and Prosper: our 2017 New Year message

4/1/2017

0 Comments

 
2017 will see the culmination of four years’ work on Central Ealing’s neighbourhood plan. The final proposals have gone forward to scrutiny by an independent examiner, with a public hearing fixed for February.

Two main themes run through the plan. First, we face the challenge of balancing development with the need to preserve the characteristics which make the town special. The aim is to ensure that we can have sustainable growth while conserving the human scale of green spaces and historic buildings which led to Ealing being called ‘Queen of the Suburbs’.​

​With Crossrail due in 1918, the second target is for Ealing to avoid becoming just a dormitory town, but be a regional centre of excellence for culture and education. The social infrastructure needed for an expanding population can also support a growing business economy round the skills employed in these activities.

The examiner’s report will be made in the spring. The plan will be then put to votes in parallel referendums of local residents and businesses. It will need a majority in both to put into effect.

You can help achieve this by letting more people know of the proposals, though signing up to our Newsletter through the Contact page.

Happy New Year!
