This consultation has ended.
Background
Ealing Council has secured funding from Transport for London (TfL), as part of investment across the capital to create a healthier, cleaner and more inclusive city. Utilizing the Healthy Streets approach we want to prioritise people’s wellbeing and make streets more pleasant places to spend time. Alongside this, in line with the Mayor’s Transport strategy, we want to make Ealing a safer, more accessible place and make it easier for people to walk and cycle in the borough.
During phase one of the route development, a motor traffic-free path was constructed alongside Ruislip Road East between Greenford Broadway and Pitshanger Park, with improvements to bus stops, side road junctions and crossings for people wanting to join the route. This one-mile path has transformed this popular route, meaning that more people can feel safe when walking and cycling, including those who are cycling or scooting with children.
The second phase of the route aims to connect the traffic-free path on Ruislip Road East with Ealing Broadway, via Pitshanger park, St Stephen’s roundabout and Gordon Road. Sustrans have been commissioned by the council to run a series of community engagement events including pop ups and a co-design workshop to hear your views, which will help us to develop the best possible proposals for the area.
Your views
A programme of engagement activities has been devised including drop-in sessions, an online survey, walking tours and workshops. Through early and ongoing engagement we want to ensure that the proposals we develop are informed by and reflect the needs of the local community.
To take part online, please make sure you have read the full community engagement FAQs document before completing a short survey to submit your views on the area.
The online questionnaire will be open until 4 July 2019.
You can also take part in person at one of the drop-in events listed below:
- Wednesday 26 June - 4-7pm – Haven Green, near Ealing Broadway
- Wednesday 3 July - 3-6pm – Notting Hill and Ealing High School Sixth Form Centre (on the corner of Edgehill Road and St Stephen’s Road)
What happens next?
A co-design workshop will take place on Tuesday 16 July between 4-7pm at St Stephen’s Church Hall, 1 St Stephen's Rd, W13 8HB. This session will allow you to explore the issues raised by residents and the local community through the online questionnaire and help develop potential solutions with a team of engineers and urban designers, as well as review feedback from the survey.
In Autumn 2019, once all feedback has been considered, a proposed package of work will be put forward for the area, consisting of a number of schemes and complementary measures. These proposals will then be shared via email or mail on request.
