Post date: May 17, 2013 5:14:12 PM

We were recently approached by the opposition spokesman on Ealing council for Transport and Environment with a request for local issues.  Members of the committee and local residents have suggested the following topics.  Do you have anything to add to this list or any comments?  Then please post them here on the site.

 1.       Traffic volumes, pollution and noise on the A40.

2.       The Green Corridor along the A40, and how and whether it is going to be preserved when the currently vacant land is sold/developed by TFL.

3.       Improvements to the bicycle / pedestrian use of the pavement on either side of the A40, including protection for people waiting at the bus stops at Western Circus, Foster Road and Perryn Road on the A40.

4.       Traffic calming measures on East Acton Lane.

5.       Traffic calming measures on Friars Place Lane, Shaa Road, Perryn Road etc.

6.       Control of overdevelopment of the properties on East Acton Lane/Glendun Road contrary to planning restrictions, and the failure to secure reinstatement.

7.       Whether or not there should be conservation area status for any specific area.

8.       Enforcement of the restrictive covenants concerning property usage attached to many properties sold by the Goldsmiths’ Company.

9.       Reinstatement of wooden edging to the green islands along East Acton Lane.

10.   A review of the parking restriction zones – are they effective as currently formulated ?

11.   Alterations to storm drainage caused by the paving over of front gardens for use as parking places.

12.   Parking problems associated with the 3 schools on East Acton Lane and their management.

13.   Foxes, control of.

14.   Promoting the use of recycling facilities to those households whose visible piles of black bin bags, often attacked by foxes, make it clear that they have not made use of food recycling bins etc.

15.   Promoting use of water butts and other rain water storage for watering gardens.

16.   Hedges and bushes impinging on the pavement.  Who should be responsible for cutting them back ?
