Feedback from Ealing Metropolitan Town Centre public meeting

Over 180 people came along to have their say on the future of Ealing Broadway and West Ealing on 19 June. The public meeting was held to ask local residents what they think of the town centre development framework proposals and find out how they think the £3million regeneration fund should be spent"

People were talking about enhancements to the transport interchange at Ealing Broadway and Haven Green, community infrastructure, improvements in West Ealing, proposed enhancements to Pitzhanger Manor and Walpole Park, and improvements to the public realm at Bond Street and Ealing Green.

Thoughts on the main themes talked about include:

Agreement that Haven Green and Station Approach need to work much more effectively as a transport interchange. Also that a new bus station would be better located over the railway lines at a redeveloped Ealing Broadway station, rather than at east side of Haven Green as proposed
Agreement that park railings shouldn’t be removed at Dean Gardens. Also that a green link through a redeveloped Green Man Lane Estate between West Ealing the town centre and an improved Jacob’s Ladder railway crossing would be a positive improvement and help with north – south links.
Agreement that enhancements to Pitzhanger Manor and Walpole Park can help them reach their potential, including improved links and access, and that this area should be developed as a cultural quarter and unique selling point.
Agreement that green space at Ealing Green ‘triangle’ should be retained and not replaced by hard landscaping. Also that Bond Street improvements need to focus on making it more pedestrian friendly.
Agreement that additional health and education provision is essential, especially with potential new developments, and that this should meet the needs of both the existing and new population.
