Going out on a limb, I am going to say that a political election, like the New Year, brings a sense of hope and the spirt of goodwill. The election of Sadiq Khan as Mayor in May 2016, is a perfect example of this.

Labour's Mayor of London. Sadiq Khan, has published proposals to close both Ealing Police Station permanently and sell the land for development. 

Your local Hanger Hill councillors are delighted to have secured a range of new safety measures outside the Church of the Holy Family including a new Zebra Crossing to help children from the Holy Family Primary School cross in safety. 

Your local Hanger Hill councillors have made a commitment to protect Hanger Hill’s heritage. Residents will have noticed the upgrading of the cast iron road signs across the ward. The latest renewal has taken place in Boileau Road and surrounding area.

Labour councillors force through planning application to turn the historic Twyford Abbey site into an independent school, felling dozens of ancient tress and increasing congestion, despite opposition from local residents.

The obsession with Brexit and ensuring divorce negotiation continues to dominate our headlines and whilst this clearly a newsworthy and historic event, it is not the burning issue that comes up on the doorstep in Ealing. Neither is it Ealing Hospital, as Labour would have us believe! 

Last night, Sunday 3rd November, travellers moved onto the site of the former King Fahad Academy. 

Last week’s Northfields Ward Forum was attended by 75 or so local residents.  The formal minutes will follow but here is a summary - 

Advertising boards that had been placed by Ealing Council, without consultation, in the new flower beds opposite The Plough have finally been removed. This was following a successful campaign by Northfield Ward Councillors, Fabio Conti, David Millican and Theresa Mullins and local residents. 

I want to outline the beginnings of a positive vision of the future for the London Borough of Ealing which we as the local Conservatives are developing for next year’s Council elections.
