Ward Forums
In 2008 the council voted to abolish the old area committees in favour of 23 ward forums, with the aim of getting more people involved. The first of the new ward forums began in September 2008.
Led by ward councillors, the forums feature joint problem solving on local concerns, including round table discussions on issues such as community safety, traffic and transport schemes, parks and street improvements. Plus each ward has the chance to influence an annual budget of £40,000 for local improvements.
Forums meet at least three times a year.
The Ward Forums are: Acton Central, Cleveland, Dormers Wells, Ealing Broadway, Ealing Common, East Acton, Elthorne, Greenford Broadway, Greenford Green, Hanger Hill, Hobbayne, Lady Margaret, North Greenford, Northfields, Northolt Mandeville, Northolt West End, Norwood Green, Perivale, South Acton, Southall Broadway, Southall Green, Southfield and Walpole.

Ward Forum review
Ward forums have been running since September 2008
and the council will soon decide whether they continue. The
council's Overview and Scrutiny Panel will consider the
effectiveness of the ward forum approach on September 24 2009.
There are a number of ways you can have your say:
-
email mywardmatters@ealing.gov.uk and tell us whether you think ward forums should continue, adding any comments to support your view.
-
in person, by attending the Overview and Scrutiny meeting. Please contact the head of scrutiny, Keith Fraser on (020) 8825 7497 or email fraserk@ealing.gov.uk to find out more.
Your views on ward forums are important and your comments will be presented, in full, to the members of the Overview and Scrutiny panel.
