Ealing Liberal Democrats
Working for you all year round
Welcome to Ealing Central & Acton Lib Dems
This site has news and information about the Liberal Democrats in the Ealing Central & Acton constituency.
Following boundary changes, the constituency now covers Acton, Southfield, Ealing Common, Walpole, Hanger Hill and Ealing Broadway. The Shepherds Bush part of the previous Ealing, Acton & Shepherds Bush constituency is no longer within our constituency.
Jon Ball, who was the Lib Dem candidate at the general election in May 2010, is the parliamentary spokesperson for Ealing Central and Acton. At the election Jon polled 13,041, which is the highest vote ever recorded for a Liberal or Liberal Democrat in the area; it now requires a swing of just over 5% for the Liberal Democrats to win.

Article: Feb 26, 2013
Ealing Common Liberal Democrats have launched a campaign to protect Ealing's police services, after finding out that the Conservative Mayor of London has earmarked them for closure.
Under the current plans, Ealing residents will only have access to a part time counter. Areas like Acton and Southall, however, will retain a 24 hour counter. Cllr Jon Ball has started a petition against the closures, and is encouraging all residents to respond to the consultation. Local Lib Dem campaigner Jenni Hollis said: "If I needed to report a crime, I'd like to do it face to face, in a local and secure environment. The Lib Dems will fight hard to save our local police front counter - and we need our residents' help!" Residents can sign the Lib Dem petiton here and respond to the consultation here.

Article: Oct 28, 2012By Cllr Gary Malcolm in http://garymalcolm.blogspot.co.uk/
Dear Leader of the Council,
At the Council meeting [16th October] I asked you a question relating to the fact that Southfield's share of grade A streets is ten percent below the average. It is not the only ward in Ealing where this is happening. Truly shocking.
I have given you and Ealing Council's management staff over a week to come up with details of what they will do for Southfield - extra staff, forcing staff who are not up to scratch to be dismissed or re-trained, or something else. So far not a response from anyone. Head in the sand? You know the issues that continue in Southfield. Whether it was the non-collection of household waste or recyclables in April and May, things are the same now.
Being somewhat cynically I can only assume that there is a political bias as to some wards being treated worse than others. Southfield was the ward that suffered the most from April's non collection problems and again the streets are the dirtiest of ALL twenty-tree wards in Ealing.
This leaves both Ealing Council and Enterprise with a less than poor reputation - which is getting worse. I expect residents to be treated fairly and correctly. The longer their [Enterprise's] sad performance continues, the greater the chance there is of their organisation folding. Because Ealing is not paying out for their poor service is irrelevant.
I expect some clear action plan which is communicated to ward councillors and residents, as to how things can be improved in a number of wards like Southfield which are the most badly hit.
Councillor Gary Malcolm,
Leader of Ealing Liberal Democrat Group
