Is anyone else beginning to wonder why they pay any rates to Ealing Council at all, particularly those weat of Acton Lane?We have no buses now the 440 has been re-routed to serve non residents in the Business Park ( to take them to a Crossrail railway that doesn’t exist). Huge, ugly, blocks of flats, that estate agents say they won’t be able to sell, being erected on TFL land on Bollo Lane that offer us......a pavement. Wow! ( And built to help pay for the non existent Crossrail line)The possible closure of the Stirling Road tip.The closure of Fisher’s Lane, making the necessary taxi to the High Street or the Health Centre for those who cannot walk there, cost twice as much, is a nuisance. And of course the success they have had in fining those who still use it will not make them draw the obvious conclusion that it is still needed, but rather that it is a great source of income for the Council. No buses, no cars, only cyclists are paid any heed and even they are scared to use the new High Road route.increased traffic on South Parade will then lead to the curtailment of the 94, no doubt.We are barely consulted and in any case always ignored. Getting through to the council is impossible. Accountability is positively Borisonian. It reeks of corruption.Who exactly do Ealing Council think they are serving in Chiswick? A rich bunch of gullible idiots seems to be the answer. But they are as wrong in that assumption as in everything else. i will not vote for them ( nor the Conservatives, who would be exactly the same) and I think we should all consider if we’re going to pay for them, meanwhile, unless they can up their game. Everyone understands money is tight but that is not what is being complained of here. It is time to remember who employs them. Us.
