Equality assessment for Southall Town Hall

The council did not produce a separate Equality Impact Assessment specifically for Southall Town Hall. Instead, it used and updated the findings of the borough-wide Equality Impact Assessment completed in 2018 when deciding to locate services there.

The council reviewed: 

  • who uses the service locally
  • how people with protected characteristics would access the site
  • whether any measures were needed to address potential barriers

Equality considerations were also taken into account during subsequent decisions about service provision in Southall.

These decisions included: 

  • assessing the impact of the closure of the West Ealing hub
  • the approval in principle of 68 The Broadway
  • the eventual selection of Southall Town Hall when those premises became unavailable
