Public Meeting - West Ealing and Hanwell - Council proposals for changes along Uxbridge Road

During the last round of Ward Forum meetings, councillors unveiled designs for what they are calling Corridor 1c.  This the stretch of Uxbridge Road which runs from the River Brent to Northfield Avenue.

In response, residents asked for a meeting to be held with council officers to fully explain the plans before they go out to public consultation.  The council has therefore arranged a meeting for members of the public to find out more.

Transport planners, economic regeneration officers and the cabinet member for transport will be present.

Lammas Park Pedestrian Crossing consultation

Earlier this year EFRA submitted its comments on the proposed location of a pedestrian crossing on Northfield Avenue close to Lammas Park, to replace the existing crossing just to the south.

New parking regime for Windmill Road

EFRA has campaigned for some time for measures to ease traffic congestion in Windmill Road. This residential road is a main route from Ealing to Brentford and the A4/M4 but was never designed to carry the amount of traffic now using it. The situation has been made even more difficult by the recent introduction of double decker buses on the E2 route. Along much of this road two large vehicles cannot pass easily with the resultant hold ups and build up of traffic.

Improvements to road safety

A frequent issue raised at the Northfield Ward Forums has been problems caused by cars being parked around street corners thus reducing the site lines for pedestrians and drivers. Ealing Council consulted residents of roads south of Little Ealing Lane about the introduction of double yellow lines at some junctions in that area. EFRA was generally supportive of the proposals but lobbied the council for a change to reduce the length of double yellow lines from 10 metres to 5 metres from the junction in order to lessen the number of parking spaces lost. This suggestion has been accepted.
