Council Consulting on Northolt Investment Programme
Plans already drawn up for Ealing, Kensington, Church and Mandeville Roads
March 29, 2023
The council is asking for feedback on the plans as part of its Visions for Northolt scheme by Monday, 8 May. The council has launched this engagement programme in an attempt to ensure that future investment in Northolt reflects the needs and wants of the local community.
Ealing Council and Transport for London secured more than £7.2million funding for roads, pavements and travel improvements.
Hundreds of residents and businesses have already told the council how they would like to see the money spent, including by building wider pavements, more pedestrian crossings, additional bicycle lanes and extra trees. Taking this into consideration, plans for Ealing Road and Kensington Road were consulted on last year and now initial designs have been developed for Mandeville Road and Church Road.
Councillor Shital Manro, the council’s cabinet member for good growth, said, “We have had an encouraging response to the plans so far so please do take a moment to share your views with us and help us to make Northolt a better place for everyone. Your views matter to us, and will inform our decisions.
“We’ve taken on board your feedback and had some brilliant suggestions for improvements. Ealing Council will continue to put residents’ views firmly at the heart of all of our plans.”
