East Acton Steering Group

Went to a meeting of the East Acton Steering Group at Old Oak School. This is a joint body that unites Councillors, residents associations and Council officers to try to co-ordinate the work of LBs Ealing and Hammersmith and Fulham in East Acton, given that East Acton crosses the Borough boundary.

A new traffic scheme has been introduced recently and created some concern, particularly because of the inadequate “green man time” in the pedestrian phase of the new traffic lights. We are pressing Transport for London (TfL) to create more time for people crossing, and also agree improved pedestrian access generally at key crossing points. Inevitably the discussion focussed on very local environmental issues, such as pavement improvements, toilet facilities, and landscaping, where we agreed the next stage of action that is required.
