1) Keeping Preserving our architectural past - we work with other residents’ associations and campaign groups to ensure that new or changing developments are designed in a way that preserves or enhances our architectural heritage. There was a Conservation Review by Ealing Council in 2025 and the Hanwell Village Green boundaries remained much the same. Further information can be found here.
We liaise with the Principle Heritage Officer at LB of Ealing over planning and environmental issues.
We are pursuing a range of projects to enhance the safety of the area particularly around the village green.
2) Hanwell Safe - We have a close association with the police through the North Hanwell Neighbourhood Team, including 2 members on the Forum. There is new platform called Met Engage through which you can get to know your local officers, help shape how we police your local area and have direct access to key information and advice. The Met Engage site can be found here.
Police officers regularly attend our meetings and there is a weekly round-up of any incidents via email: NorthHanwell@contact.metengage.co.uk
3) Improving our public transportation links - alongside the Facebook Hanwell Station Users Group we campaign to improve services at Hanwell Station. We are fortunate to be on the Elizabeth Line and we now have 4 trains per hour and a Sunday service. We want to lobby for more trains in rush hours and to reduce the gap between the platform and the trains.
4) Improving the environmental quality of our area - whether it be through the Facebook LAGERCAN (Litter Action Group Ealing Residents), HACAN (a voice for those affected by aircraft noise from Heathrow) or through our links with Brent River Park Trust, we use our collective voice to make Hanwell a great environment to live in.

5) Protecting the wildlife in our area - we are fortunate to live next door to a large area of wild and managed parkland. Brent River Park's Charity Campaign brought together 26,000 signatories and a wide range of conservation organisations and community groups to ensure Warren Farm is now a designated Nature Reserve comprising 24 hectares of rewilded land. There is also commitment to develop the West London Regional Park. We need to be involved in having a say in how these great projects develop to ensure they are what residents want. Also on our own doorstep, we have the Rose Garden project which is aiming to improve the garden design while increasing pride in our parks and building community spirit.
