Halford's site on Acton Hill

Just wondering if anyone knew what is planned for this site which turns out to be a lot larger than it looked when Halford's were there.Might be something exciting!

Morrison's Inconvenience Store Acton

I went in today and both lifts are still out-of-order but today the staff had also switched off both escalators and only switched the "down" one back on when customers made a fuss. I daresay that I am not the only customer with multiple disabilities who is expected to take a trolley through the carpark, along Acton High Street, up Kings Street and back in to the store. I have complained to Head Office before but the usual response is "Take it up with the local manager", who usually says "Try Head office". I did once but the manager just blamed the member of staff who was nearest.I see that they charge for trolleys in Acton but not in Ealing. Is that a reflection on the memories or honesty of the people of Acton?

Acton's new post office will be wild

This promises to be one of the most interesting post offices in the country. I can't wait to see how the social media influencers posting on Instagram about the latest oversugared drink interact with the technophobe elders popping in to pay their bills.

NAO says developers can ‘manipulate’ planning system to reduce infrastructure contributions.

Wottasurprise!NOTE: "...a lack of up-to-date government data to assess whether the current system is delivering its intended benefits."AND: "...examining potential conflicts of interest involving consultants representing both developers and councils."   National Audit Office says developers can ‘manipulate’ planning system to reduce infrastructure contributionsA report by the National Audit Office (NAO) has highlighted challenges within England’s planning system that may allow developers to negotiate lower financial contributions toward local infrastructure. The watchdog noted that differences in capacity and expertise between public and private sectors can make it difficult to fully scrutinize viability assessments - important tools used to establish contributions under Section 106 agreements.The report highlights a notable skills shortage in local authority planning departments, with the number of public sector chartered town planners declining by 25% between 2013 and 2020, while the private sector grew by two-thirds during the same period. This imbalance has impacted councils’ ability to effectively challenge viability assessments, especially against developers who have access to specialist consultants and legal expertise.Other findings include unspent developer contributions, a reduction in housing association demand for affordable housing, and a lack of up-to-date government data to assess whether the current system is delivering its intended benefits.To address these issues, the NAO recommends introducing standardised Section 106 templates, reviewing the use and transparency of viability assessments, and examining potential conflicts of interest involving consultants representing both developers and councils. The report also calls on the government to evaluate and strengthen planning capacity.The government is expected to publish updated viability guidance later this year.Our planning news is published in association with ThePlanner, the official magazine of the Royal Town Planning Institute.RTPI logoThe Planner logoPlanning news - 13 June 2025Pennycook to ‘consider’ strengthening nature restoration fundFuture Homes Standard to include rooftop solar as standardNational Audit Office says developers can ‘manipulate’ planning system to reduce infrastructure contributionsSOURCE:   https://www.planningportal.co.uk/services/weekly-planning-news/planning-news-13-june-2025?msdynmkt_trackingcontext=aa13ae8a-1d03-40ba-9ced-d225985c0200#national-audit-office-says-developers-can-'manipulate'-planning-system-to-reduce-infrastructure-contributions

Eviction of Football Samurai Academy from North Acton Playing Fields

Ealing council has served an eviction notice on the Samurai Football and Tennis Club on North Acton playing fields. In 2017, Ealing Council issued a decision letter expressing support for a lease extension through 2043 — an agreement later followed up with signed Heads of Terms and a draft lease in 2024. Based on these assurances, the Academy invested over £150,000 into significant improvements to the site, including the construction of a 3G pitch and building refurbishment.Despite this, on March 25, 2025, the Academy received an eviction notice without prior consultation or justification. You can sign a petition protesting this and calling for a reversal of the decision here:https://www.change.org/p/stop-the-eviction-of-the-local-football-and-tennis-club-from-north-acton-playing-fields?signed=true

Putin's Minions in Acton

It presents what is quite a complex story in a witty and entertaining way.

Closing the crossing at Churchfield Road

There is a discussion about the potential impact of the West London Orbital line on level crossings in the area on ChiswickW4.com in which the following document was shared. This dates back quite some time but the project seems to be gaining momentum so it might be worth bearing in mind again. The Churchfield Road crossing would be considered for closure with a footbridge and ramp being installed. Closure isn't necessarily going to happen but, if it doesn't there will be very long queues up and down Churchfield Road.https://wla.london/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/2017-October-West-London-Orbital-Rail-Technical-Analysis-and-Conclusions.pdf

The Oaks

'Good news. Oaks management held a meeting for everyone involved this morning. So Acton BiD,, the Leaseholders, the Owners of the building, the Management company, the Met police, Ealing Council Members and Officers plus Residents. all met to discuss what can be done to improve the quality of the shopping experience in the Oaks. There was consensus that the centre is not especially attractive now,  and everyone had suggestions for change. We, the Residents, were impressed by the enthusiasm round the table.. There is a policy review of the regulations preventing pop up stalls and benches, a talk with the letting agents on the vacant units, a look at opening all the toilets (there are three). more stringent control of unruly elements ,and outreach to the public for local music, art and charitable objectives to be included in the open space. We are quite excited and grateful to everyone who came to the meeting and contributed so positively. Its a question of  watch this space. Anyone with more ideas and suggestions can talk to  Natasha Patel, (Acton BiD) Julian Gallant (Cons)Gary Malcolm (Lib Dem). Maureen Colledge (CCA) Serena McBeth or me.

Street Cleaning in Acton

Hi everyone,I’m really frustrated with the state of Hereford Road and the adjacent streeths. There’s been rubbish and dirty streets piling up for weeks, and despite raising multiple tickets with the council, nothing has been done. It’s not just unsightly—it’s attracting pests and making the area unpleasant for everyone.Has anyone else had similar issues? It feels like the council is just ignoring this, even though we pay council tax for basic services like waste collection. If others are experiencing the same problem, maybe we can put more pressure on them to actually do something about it.Let me know your thoughts!

Gov't to consult on removing planning committee decisions for developments of less than 10 homes.

The Developer's Free For All continues unabated, and aided & abetted by Liebore:-Government to consult on removing planning committee decisions for developments of fewer than ten homes.The government is set to consult on shifting the jurisdiction of planning committees for smaller housing schemes.This latest move builds on the proposals already laid out in the Planning and Infrastructure Bill, which is currently progressing through the House of Commons.While the Bill outlines a ‘national scheme of delegation’, giving planning officers the authority to approve schemes that align with local plans, it does not explicitly call for a wider removal of planning committee involvement in smaller developments.As reported by The Times, the government is expected to announce further elements of its planning reform agenda in the coming weeks. Among the most contentious is a consultation on removing council planning committees’ ability to “interfere in the vast majority of planning applications.”Planning minister Matthew Pennycook has confirmed that larger schemes will continue to go before committee. However, stripping planning committees of decision-making powers over swathes of smaller applications, he argues, will help streamline the system.“Some local authorities haven’t made these changes, they haven’t streamlined their process,” Pennycook told The Times. “And I think bringing that clarity and uniformity across the country… will help speed up the process.”https://www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/article/councils-to-lose-blocking-powers-in-boost-to-housebuilding-bpqm2l3xn

Kyoto - the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) play

This is on at London's newest theatre - Soho Place  which is right opposite Tottenham Court Road tube station for a very short while longer (until 3 May).https://sohoplace.org/shows/kyoto/?gad_source=5&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIzu2ZppT9iwMVYZqDBx2Xrg6BEAAYAiAAEgKYYfD_BwEIt has some great reviews.  Do check it out.I was the Delegate for Samoa and Him Indoors was the Delegate for Denmark.  Luckily we did not have to become more involved than that! We loved it but I still found it a rather emotional experience watching the Delegate for a country I used to live in fighting for her country.  It is about the Kyoto Protocol and the acting takes part in the round.

Java Fusion vandalised again

Walking down Churchfield Road yesterday, I saw that both plate glass windows of Java Fusion had been smashed with what looked like two huge hammer blows to each. The glass is still in place but boarded up fromthe back. This is just so infuriating and such mindless vandalism on a great little restaurant and local business.

Evening opening of Acton Park

Does anybody know of any efforts being made to open Acton Park later in the evening? A family member uses Birkbeck Road as an alternative route to walk home after work if the park is closed but, after recent events, has become nervous of going that way. If the path through the park was well lit, many might find that a better option.

CPZ ‘consultation’

Today I received a copy of a document from the Council claiming to be a consultation on extending CPZ operating hours where they currently operate one hour in the morning, one in the afternoon. Strangely, I’ve not heard anyone in my street complain that the operating hours are too short. The document claims there is ‘high parking stress’ in the area. It asks for responses online. I’ve given mine. The online form gives the game away in part; this is part of the Council’s plans for net zero by 2030, ie make it harder for people to drive anywhere. The most dishonest part of the consultation is the options offered to select: 8am-8pm, 8am-6pm or ‘other’. There is no option to retain the current hours unless you write that in the ‘other’ box. Anyone wanting to give their views can do so at www.ealing.gov.uk/consultation-extended-cpz by 11 December.

Bondi Juice and Trading Store

Saw on FB that Bondi Juice cafe has been put up for sale and the Trading Store is closing down in January. 2 great little shops on Churchfield Road run by lovely people that are leaving us. As the old saying goes, use them or lose them.

The Belvedere Pub

Lots of internal demolition work happening at the moment, anyone know if this is being refurbed as a pub or likely to be something else?

Loud hi/pitched whining noise

Very loud hi-pitch shining siren type noise somewhere near Essex Road W3 9JA has been going on for two weeks. Any idea what it is?

Acton library

What a great idea to close the library for 6 months - 6 months! over the winter when many people use it as a safe warm space. Crazy.
