Ealing Common Ward Forum Meeting

Ideas on how to spend the £40,000 budget for the Ealing Common Ward ranged from new traffic signs to road width restrictions.

Around 40 people came to the ward forum meeting and parking problems and road surfacing were the main issues raised.

Councillor Joanna Dabrowska who chaired the meeting said: "Ealing Common is a well managed area compared to other wards and there is only one road that needs resurfacing.

"We have identified Carbery Avenue as it has fallen below a certain percentage rating."

Councillor Jon Ball also updated the meeting on the City Car Club scheme which has proved successful in London but is seeking statistics on the usage in and around the common.

Chris Rowe of the Ealing Common Society highlighted the problems relating to the funfairs and circuses which leave mess on the green land.

Mr Rowe said: "They leave a terrible mess on the area with broken bottles and there should be a bigger clean up and police presence, especially as one of the benches was set on fire."

The next forum meeting will take place on Tuesday January 13.
