The this week Ealinger

“As a community, we have the chance to do something really special” to share too. We see it as something owned by no one and yet everyone!
For West Ealing Simon Hall, of Growing West Ealing, is working on drawing together the various groups and organisations in West Ealing under one online umbrella: West Ealing Online. In our Q&A we ask him if ‘WE-O’ is ok as an acronym... West Ealing Online? Can you sum up what it’s about in 50 words? (Or fewer?) And what about a snazzy shortener? WE-Online? WEO? West Ealing-O? West Ealing Online: a single point of access to all the social media in West Ealing. If it happens it’s here! If it matters it’s here! If you want to share, this is the place... How will it work, practically?

The Ealinger
Will each local body be subsumed into this page or will, say, the West Ealing Neighbours group on Facebook, continue to exist and operate as normal? How will you ensure that WE-O doesn’t become yet another West Ealing site added to the must-visit list? This is the most exciting part of the whole project, bringing together all the various parties and skills to create a site that is easy to access and easy
Q&A
What’s your connection with West Ealing? Why so interested? I’m a local boy who has the chance to make a once-in-alifetime difference. West Ealing as a community has the chance to do something really special – with nearly £200m worth of capital improvements coming, along with 1000 new homes, a new primary school. Crossrail, some of the best public spaces, a business hub and Open Ealing, what’s not to be passionate about... Get involved and shape your and your families’ futures. – Carlene Bender Growing West Ealing group on LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/groups/ 4430307 @halls47

A model Lane PITSHANGER A steady stream of visitors filed into St Barnabas church on Thursday evening to have a look at the fairly detailed cardboard models of Pitshanger Lane shopfronts on display. The models were made by students of North Ealing Primary School, as part of the Lane’s winning Great British High Street campaign, led by local estate agent John Martin, and the Pitshanger Village Traders Association. “It was the perfect way to engage the children in the campaign,” said John, whose own offices were modelled by not one but two students: Filip (1J), and Kai (3V) – see photo below.
