25 Jul Ealing Council announces Southall Reset programme

Ealing Council has announced the Southall Reset programme for Southall town centre and neighbouring communities, following a meeting with the council’s cabinet earlier this month.

The Southall Reset programme, outlined for the next four years, will be focused on tackling deep-rooted challenges specific to Southall to support residents and businesses.

The programme also focuses on active travel with a renewed focus on walking and cycling schemes in the area.

Councillor Peter Mason, leader of Ealing Council, said: “Residents have told us what needs to change and we are listening.

“Southall is a place of incredible history and sense of cultural pride. It has so much to offer, but times have been difficult for the community over the past few years. The pandemic has been tough, with residents in Southall having had the highest rate of furlough in the country. And now the cost of living crisis is hitting the community hard.

“We’ll be working with the community to improve the area for those living and working here, with ambitions to build on Southall’s vibrant local economy and its reputation as a destination for visitors.
