Ealing Councillor on Arcadia

Posted by Paloma Kubiak on Dec 11, 09 12:43 PM in Useful Info

Liberal Democrat Councillor Jon Ball, parliamentary candidate for the marginal seat of Ealing Central and Acton, stood down from the Planning Committee which considered the application in order to oppose the development.

He said: "I am delighted by this decision which is fantastic news for Ealing.

"This hugely unpopular scheme was pushed through against strong local opposition.

"The Council should now lead the development of the station site with a full bus/ rail interchange, and provide a real attraction for people to come to the town centre rather than overdeveloping the area beyond what local transport, schools and health facilities can support."

Councillor Ball has also written to Glenkerrin asking to meet with them to discuss a solution should they decide to come forward with a new scheme.
