A petition to get lighting in Acton Park has been succesful and new lamps will be installed by spring next year.

The aim of the petition’s sponsor Maureen Colledge was to ensure that parents, children, commuters and local people can walk through the park safely.

An Ealing Council spokesperson said,
“Following a proposal from Churchfield Community Association to light a pathway in Acton Park, the East Acton Ward Forum has agreed to allocate £34,000 towards this project.

“There will be eight street lamps installed and the lighting will operate between October-March at dawn and at dusk to reflect the park’s opening and closing times so that parents, children, commuters and other local residents can walk through safely. Installation is scheduled to be completed by March 2020.”

The pathway runs between East Churchfield Road and The Vale, adjacent to Ark Byron Academy School in Acton, and is used by parents collecting children from school as well as commuters between Acton Central Station and buses on Uxbridge Road.

The proposal was published on the council’s website for community-led projects www.dosomethinggood.org.uk.

This site remains committed to providing local community news and public interest journalism.

Articles such as the one above are integral to what we do. We aim to feature as much as possible on local societies, charities based in the area, fundraising efforts by residents, community-based initiatives and even helping people find missing pets.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

A suggested monthly payment is £8 but we would be grateful for any amount for instance if you think this site offers the equivalent value of a subscription to a daily printed newspaper you may wish to consider £20 per month. If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.

For businesses we offer the chance to be a corporate sponsor of community content on the site. For £30 plus VAT per month you will be the designated sponsor of at least two articles a month with your logo appearing if supplied. If there is a specific community group or initiative you’d like to support we can make sure your sponsorship is featured on related content for a one off payment of £50 plus VAT. All payments are made through a secure web site.
