Please take a moment to respond to this important police consultation on the future of Ealing Borough's police stations. Of particular interest to Hanwell residents will be the future of Hanwell Police Station on the Uxbridge Rd, which looks likely to be judged to be 'surplus to requirements' if a suitable case is not made for it to be retained. It is currently being used to house 18 PCSOs and is

The Labour Government has implemented a Decent Homes initiative which aims to bring all social housing into a decent condition by 2010 and requires that councils make them warm, weatherproof and have reasonably modern facilities. Many local residents have benefitted as a result of the scheme which has seen lots of homes refitted with modern kitchen and bathroom facilities. However, Labour

Over recent months the Tory Council has made stealth cuts to the Borough’s frontline Park Rangers. They are also closing the Ranger Base in Brent Lodge (Bunny) Park. This is bound to have a negative effect on the amount of patrols and conservation work in Hanwell’s parks and open spaces. Despite a strong campaign by residents and a petition of 552 signatures, Hobbayne’s Tory councillors

Gordon Brown has given the go ahead for the £16 billion Crossrail Project.

The total number of crimes in Hobbayne ward for the first 6 months of this year is down by 21% compared to the same time period last year. Real benefits are now being felt from the Labour initiative which has installed a dedicated local police team in each ward. Teams are able to build up a wealth of local knowledge and use this on a daily basis to help reduce crime and identify offenders. In

As you may be aware, Hanwell Community Centre was rescued from being sold at auction by Ealing Council approximately three years ago because the previous Hobbayne Labour councillors argued strongly that an independent investigation ought take place before any final decision by the Council could be taken. The previous Labour Council then commissioned an 'options appraisal' study which it jointly

Virendra Sharma is the new Ealing Southall MP.He has pledged to work very hard for his constituents. It was a reasonable night for the Liberal democrats but a disasterous night for the Tories, who came a poor 3rd despite a desperate campaign involving 5 personal visits from David Cameron, a high profile candidate and some very dodgy campaigning tactics. It is a great credit to the local people

Cllr Gurcharan Singh and four other former Labour councillors have defected to the Tories because of Singh's failure to get selected as the Labour candidate for the Ealing Southall by-election on Thursday 19th July. Quite frankly, Singh's insatiable personal ambition has been a divisive influence and liability for far too long and suffice to say the Labour party will not be mourning his loss nor

At a meeting of the Council's Overview & Scrutiny Committee last week Cllr Costello did a complete U-turn and offered no defence of his former decision to re-open Station Rd to through traffic. The Tory councillor backed down from his professed principle of opposition to roads being closed off in the face of overwhelming opposition and a well organised campaign by local residents which was

The Ealing Gazette recently portrayed a table showing the percentage of streets in each ward that received an 'A' standard for being clean upon inspection. The monthly statistics, which began in November 2006 and ran to May 2007 reveal marked discrepancies between the wards. By comparison with our own Hobbayne ward, Ealing Broadway, Ealing Common, Hanger Hill and Northfields seem to have done

At the Full Council meeting last night, the Tory leader denied that there were any plans to demolish Hanwell Community Centre. However, when pressed by Labour councillors to give an assurance that he would save the building for community use, by investing in its future viability and renewing the lease (due to expire in 9 months) he failed to do so.We welcome the news that the building itself

Since coming in to power in May 2006, Ealing Conservatives have introduced policies to encourage greater use of cars on our roads whilst simultaneously degrading public transport by removing bus lanes and cutting car parking charges. The result will be more traffic, more congestion and more pollution for Ealing residents. Every day we, and our families and friends, will be breathing in more Co2,

Tory leader, David Cameron's latest PR gimmick has been to try to shake off his Tory toff image and to try to live like 'common people'. After spending two days living with a muslim family last week he moved on to find out what it's like to be a classroom assistant in a primary school this week. He didn't make much of an impact on the pupils however as they didn't even know who he or his party

These two photos shown the Wharncliffe Viaduct before and after the so-called graffiti removal.Not only has it taken the council over a year to get round to cleaning any graffiti off the Wharncliffe Viaduct but this is the dismal result. Only one pillar has been cleaned and only partially done at that! It's a totally shoddy job. We hope that the council is monitoring the performance of the

The above photo shows the state of Hanwell cricket club as it was when we reported the graffiti to Ealing Council on 3rd April. Residents told us the graffiti had been there for several months. After waiting so long for the council to clean it, the club gave up and painted over it itself last weekend (see photo below) - otherwise it would never have been clean for the start of the cricket season.

Local people would like to know why the Council and gas board did not liaise with eachother over work carried out in Alwynne Rd. Ealing Council had no sooner resurfaced the road when the water board dug it up again. A local resident said, "You would think they could have synchronised the work, wouldn't you. The gas board works were planned a long time ago and the council is supposed to coordinate

Residents are growing increasingly frustrated at the Council's inaction in determining the status of a widely believed 'public right of way'. The easement has been constantly used by local residents to access Hanwell Station for the past sixty years. However, since the owner of the property formerly known as Manor House School submitted plans to develop the site into an elderly persons' care home

Hanwell village green residents are unimpressed by the Council's neglect of the above wall which has been left to deteriorate for many months. The dilapidation is thought to be encouraging anti-social behaviour and vandalism. Residents report that the green has become a hot spot for teenage drinking and rowdy behaviour at night and claim that the Council should be paying more attention to the

In Grove Avenue there were no rubblish collections on the due day the week before Easter (4th April) or the full working week after Easter (18th April). Having to go to the dump on a Sunday isn't everybody's idea of fun. But this is a Tory Council with Showcase streets after all, but not one in Hanwell.

The police and residents reported all these incidences of graffiti in Hanwell to Ealing Council on Tuesday 2nd April but 17 days later , despite promises to remove it within 24 hours, the Tories commitment to Hanwell residents remains unfulfilled!

The Tories botched attempt to recruit a high profile candidate to stand against Ken Livingstone for mayor of London is a source of acute embarrassment for them today.

Over the last ten years, our towns and cities have seen a dramatic transformation. Across the country, we have seen our communities regenerated, public services improved and jobs created. Crime is down. Waiting lists and times are down. School results are better than ever. A record number of people are in work.Investment by Labour in government, working with Labour councils, has helped change the

The Lib Dems are totally out of touch and soft on crime. Their record is one of consistent opposition to Labour’s tough measures to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour, and their policies prove they cannot be trusted on these vital issues of our nation’s security.The truth is the Lib Dems are more interested in protecting the rights of teen gangs and yobs than protecting the decent law-abiding

More and more the weakness of the Tories on policy shines through. At the same time, cuts by Tory councils are showing what the Tories would be like in government. David Cameron and George Osborne have promised to cut taxes every year under a Conservative government through their so-called ‘proceeds of growth’ rule. The third fiscal rule applied over the economic cycle would require cuts to

Education remains Labour’s top priority. Every young person deserves the best start in life. By investing in every stage of a child’s education we can ensure that each and every child has the opportunity to reach their potential. The Tories refuse to match our investment and their new spending rule would actually cut investment in public services.Labour’s record investment and reforms in

Labour is working hard to make our communities safer by cracking down on the yobs and criminals who can make the lives of others a misery, legislating to get tough on serious and persistent offenders and putting more bobbies on the beat. The Tories talk tough and vote soft on crime, while David Cameron makes calls to hug-a-hoodie and show louts more ‘love’.Latest figures show that, on average,

Ealing’s Tory councillors are making the borough’s most needy and vulnerable fund the extra money they are spending on highly visible services such as graffiti/rubbish removal.While Council leader, Jason Stacey, his Deputy Leader and Mayoress have been enjoying the massive pay rises they awarded themselves last year (average 65%), they have cut the budget for the borough’s looked after children

15 days after the Hobbayne Action Day on April 2nd, when police and residents notified the Council of every incidence of graffiti and fly-tipping throughout the ward, the Tory Council has still not cleaned it up. Their pledge to respond immediately and remove it all within 24 hours has been an absolute sham and total waste of public money!

How long does it take Ealing Council to get a signpost fixed?The signpost on Church Road and Cuckoo Lane, Hanwell was vandalised in September. Spring is upon us, but still the twisted signs are blighting this otherwise pleasant part of Hanwell. Perhaps the most frustrating part of the affair is that council contractors regularly cut the grass, but no-one at Ealing Council seems to be capable of
