Liveable Neighbourhoods

Live West Ealing is a programme that will transform The Broadway and the streets around it.

Our proposals aim to:

• reduce traffic and air pollution
• make it easier for people to walk, cycle and use public transport
• make streets and spaces more attractive and accessible
• help people feel comfortable and safe
• reduce vehicles cutting through residential areas
• improve links to the Elizabeth line station

What we are proposing in West Ealing

One-way roads

We are proposing to convert some roads to one-way. Having only one traffic lane will allow us more space to provide features to improve the area.

New and improved crossings

We are proposing several new toucan crossings in the area. This will help pedestrians and cyclists cross the broadway.

Build outs

Points of the pavement that jut into the street and narrow the road allowing more space for pedestrians and reducing crossing distance.

Seating

New seating encourages people to dwell, linger and interact in an area, creating a more social space.

Continuous pavements

Created by using the pavement surfacing material across the mouth of a side road so the pavement is uninterrupted and pedestrians are prioritised.

Lighting

We are proposing to improve lighting across the area. This will make the area feel more welcoming and help people feel safer.

Public art

Art will add colour and interest to West Ealing, making the neighbourhood feel more welcoming and vibrant.

Play features

Features like boulders, sculptures, and stepping stones that bring vibrancy into an area by providing spaces for children to play.

Trees and greening

We are planning to plant new trees and introduce greenery throughout the area. Some of this will be suds (sustainable urban drainage) which will also improve drainage.

Raised tables

Sections of the road that are elevated to the level of the pavement to encourage slower vehicle speeds, and provide a level surface for pedestrians.

West Ealing design proposals by project area

Consultation

We consulted on these projects in 2024. The consultation closed on 31 March 2024.

Since then we have developed our plans further and talked to people affected by this work.

Cost

The estimated cost of the programme in West Ealing is about £8 million. Ealing Council will provide £1.5 million match funding, alongside the £6.5 million secured through Liveable Neighbourhoods.
