Bus Lanes: Do You Love them or Loathe them?

Have your say and answer Council questions

Ealing Council is giving residents the chance to have their say on bus lanes in Acton.

On Wednesday, 21 November, the Acton Area Committee discussed bus lanes, whether existing bus lane signage is clear and whether any other changes should be made.

Councillor Dawn Larmouth, Chairman of the Bus Lane Specialist Scrutiny Committee, says: "Bus lanes - love them or hate them, we want your views.This is your chance to have a say on the Council's policy on this issue before any decisions are made. This issue is of great interest to local people and we want as much feedback as possible."  

Keith Fraser, Head of Scrutiny at Ealing Council told us that any comments received by 9.00 am on Monday 17th December will be published in the Council's ongoing report "Comments from members and the public".

However, Keith says: "We do report late comments to the meeting, thus anything up to the 8th January will be included."

An easy way to take part is to cut and paste the questions below and email the answers to Keith Fraser (see box, right):
