Consultation background
Consultation background
Between December 2022 and January 2023, Ealing Council asked residents for feedback on how local people travel around Southall and what improvements could be made to encourage active travel. The feedback received helped shape the proposals. Over 350 feedback forms were completed, 5 workshop sessions were hosted and 40 businesses completed surveys.
During May and June 2023, Ealing Council consulted on the Get Southall Moving ideas.
This involved the council, together with Let’s Go Southall, working with the community to make Southall’s streets safer, less congested and more pleasant for all road users. To reduce traffic, cut congestion and clean up Southall's air, the council reached out to hear from you about how to make it easier for everyone to get moving – that is walking, cycling, jogging, scooting, or even hopping, skipping and jumping.
11 consultation events were held with approximately 580 people and over 500 surveys were completed. The consultation included walking tours, business visits, faith sessions and in-person co-design workshops.
There will be a statutory consultation on the ideas which Ealing Council intend to take forward in 2024. This will include a description of key design changes in response to the feedback received.
The council will review the draft ideas in light of experience and the thoughts, suggestions and feedback received. In line with the Travel in Ealing Charter, the council will continue an open, transparent and constructive approach to ensure meaningful, engaging and sincere conversations with residents and communities. In making decisions, the council will:
- refer to the feedback received through engagement, giving weight to this in line with what we said when seeking people’s views
- refer to the evidence base we will have built
- confirm the alignment of decisions with any previous relevant commitments made by the council, including policies previously consulted on
- communicate our decisions openly, giving clear reasoning
