Maybe just a little group of us with signs or even a little fundraiser for a pro choice organisation?

Labour-run Ealing Council has approved a new four-year Council Plan setting out nine priorities that will guide the local authority’s work over the next four years.

The plan, debated at a full council meeting on Tuesday (30 June 2026), aims to tackle issues including crime and antisocial behaviour, housing, climate change, children’s services, jobs, health and investment across the borough.

Council leader Councillor Peter Mason said the plan translated the commitments made at the local elections into “a four-year plan of action” and would shape the work of both councillors and council officers over the next four years.

In a post published on the council’s Around Ealing website following the meeting, Councillor Mason said: “The council plan is, most importantly, a promise to you, our residents. It sets out the things that we are trying to achieve. We are making a commitment that this is where we are focusing our efforts. And we want you to hold us to account for delivering it.”

Ealing Council described the plan’s nine missions as:
crack down on crime and anti-social behaviour and tackle its root causes
secure a safe and genuinely affordable home for every family while working to end homelessness and rough sleeping
take decisive action on the climate emergency while keeping streets clean and roads clear
ensure every child has the best start in life and tackle the barriers holding young people back
create an inclusive economy, help bring down the cost of living and use taxpayers’ money efficiently
bring more good, well-paid jobs to the borough and breathe new life into town centres
strengthen neighbourhoods and community pride
enable people to live healthier lives while tackling inequalities
deliver sustainable growth with investment across all seven towns in the borough

Councillor Mason said the plan built on what he described as achievements over the past four years, including delivering new homes despite a difficult housing market, expanding climate action and creating new parks and green spaces.

He said: “This is why we have called this council plan ‘Values in Action’.

“It is a restatement of the progressive values that drive this administration and it is a practical plan of action that shows the difference people will see in their lives.”

The Council Plan was approved despite opposition from the Liberal Democrats, Conservatives and Green Party, whose councillors all voted against it during the meeting.

Leader of Ealing Liberal Democrats, Councillor Gary Malcolm said the Liberal Democrats believed the plan failed to address residents’ concerns over housing, children’s services, street cleanliness, crime and anti-social behaviour.

While Ealing Conservatives leader Councillor Julian Gallant said the plan contained “warm words” but lacked detail and measurable targets, arguing it failed to demonstrate how the council would deliver its ambitions.

I am a new dog owner in ealing and looking to find a community for my dog. By community I mean one or two families whose dog I can board/ take care of when they need and they can do the same for mine when needed. Basically trying to find an extended family so that I don’t have to leave her with new people every time.

Will I find this? How should I go about it? Looking to build a long term relationship based on trust, and love for our dogs.

Any recommendations for a good and reasonable hair salon for women’s cut and blow dry in and around ealing ?

Franco manca, china bistro, teatro hall bar (by filmworks)… and now las iguanas today. All in quick succession.

A few months ago, artisan (my favourite coffee shop) had also threatened to close as ealing council had hiked the rent up extortionately. They remain open whilst their owner takes the council to court.

Anyone got an inside scoop here? Wonder what will replace them.

All welcome! If you are considering moving to the area and want to check out the school or are just looking for a way to entertain the kids it’s a really good fair. Open from 12-4pm on Saturday.

If you were given £10m and carte blanche to throw it at a community based improvement, what would be your first area of improvement?

Did anyone witness the accident at Ealing Broadway junction where a white hatchback car rammed through 3 people? Have they caught the culprit or is there any news?

Was Ealing overall better back then or better now.

Interested to hear everyone’s experience with Ealing golf club? Was a member there for many years throughout my childhood and then again just before Covid. Quit just after Covid as they whacked my membership fee up 20% after having the course closed for many months during Covid, which I still paid for, and happily so.

Membership fee now introduced which makes costs significant to rejoin - reality is I have a young family so won’t be able to play that often. I’ve looked into the life style membership but the joining fee remains and you don’t have the option to just play 9.

What are your experiences with Ealing? I’m not aware of other nearby courses that I should look into. Given my lack of time, convenience is important

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some advice regarding a £600 fly-tipping Fixed Penalty Notice from Ealing Council.
I live above commercial premises and there are no communal bins for residents. My letting agent told us that residents leave their household rubbish at a particular location for collection.
The rubbish involved was ordinary household waste, but I put it out on a non-collection day.
I received the FPN in May and submitted a written explanation stating:
I live above businesses with no communal bins.
My letting agent advised that this was the correct place to leave rubbish.
The waste was normal household rubbish and not dumped illegally.
I received an acknowledgment email informing that that my representations would be reviewed and that I would receive a response. However, I never received any decision or acknowledgment of my explanation.
I have now received a “Pre-Court Proceedings” letter stating that the matter may be referred to the Magistrates’ Court if I do not pay the £600.
Has anyone experienced something similar with Ealing Council or another council? Should I ask for the evidence and confirmation that my representations were considered? Is it normal for a case to proceed without responding to the explanation that was submitted?
Any advice would be appreciated.

Anywhere in west London really! Looking for somewhere cool to keep toddler busy in the heat
