Chiswick Lifeboat Station is one of the country's busiest and has saved 193 lives. The RNLI is also a local issue. It deserves your support.

London’s Alleys: Haven Place, Ealing, W5
This is a very narrow and grimy old passageway right opposite Ealing Broadway station, and if less yeuky, would be a good shortcut to the shops. But no, really, no, don’t use it.

Lovely new path and bike lane at Boston Manor but where's the shade? Did someone forget the trees? @neilreynolds.bsky.social @pollyknewstub.bsky.social @clareew.bsky.social @nataliakubica.bsky.social @ealing.greenparty.org.uk @deirdrecostiganmp.bsky.social

Better Ealing Streets @betterealing.bsky.social · 07/07/2026
We’ve published an article about Ealing Council’s new consultation on Popes Lane. The proposal is peppered with references to active travel, yet it fails to provide an east/west cycle track. Please take a look, respond to the survey and share widely. www.betterealingstreets.org.uk/post/the-mon...

The Money, the Mandate: Ealing Council's Missing Cycle Route.
Ealing Council is consulting on a major scheme for Popes Lane. Much of it is good. But on a street its own plan calls a Core Route for cycling, the plans deliver no protected cycle track. Here is why ...

Anyone know how the Bike Hanger rollout in Ealing is progressing? It seems to have stalled and nearly every hangar has a waiting list.

The #ElizabethLine is definitely a success. #Hanwell is absolutely packed at rush hour but busy outside of that and at weekends. It’s about time for #TFL to stop terminating so many westbound trains at Paddington and give us (and Acton Main Line) a more frequent service.
At least 200 people waiting at Hanwell Station for the train to Paddington

The most dangerous transport gap in Ealing is the gap between the council's rhetoric and action in support of active travel.

Brent Meadow to Top Locks has been voted Ealing’s favourite walk. With our 50th Anniversary coming up on 29th June, it's great to know how Luke FitzHerbert's vision in fighting to found this 7km green chain of parks is still appreciated. FitzHerbert Walk, part of this walk, is named for him.

It’s the 50th anniversary of the Brent River Park. It was the brainchild of Luke FitzHerbert, who was one of those larger-than-life characters with bags of energy. A left-wing member of the Bullingdon Club (no, really) and former Irish Guardsman.

"There's no better investment which a public body can make than the securing of open space - a boon for the present and an inheritance for generations yet born" Charles Jones, Ealing's first Borough Engineer writing, in 1901, about acquiring Ealing's open spaces. We agree!

I have told this story before, but bringing it here. This street has footway parking on both sides which gives 1 metre of walking space beyond the lines. But, if drivers obey the markings, you can't get a car up the middle. Because residents kept getting tickets, I was asked to look at it. 1/n
A blue car on a narrow road with cars parked on the footway both sides leaving little space on the footway for pedestrians. There are dotted lines on the footway to allow parking, but the cars are well beyond them.

If I was on FB still I'd share this tree planting event to a list of local friends and know that a couple of dozen people would see it. I miss that. Not worth promoting disinformation and hate speech by staying there though. Please do share though, if I heard correctly there are lots to plant!
