Warren Farm Preservation
Protected Warren Farm
In 2023-2024 the Ealing Liberal Democrats called for the whole of Warren Farm to be designated as a nature reserve to protect the valuable biodiversity and wildlife.
The Ealing Liberal Democrats joined forces with local community groups to oppose the Labour-run Ealing Council's proposal to turn as much as half of Southall's Warren Farm land into a large sports facility. We called for the whole of Warren Farm to be designated as a local Nature Reserve to protect endangered species in London like Skylarks, promote biodiversity and save green open spaces for the physical and mental health benefits.
The online petition to protect the site was signed by over 20,000 people.
It is unacceptable for Ealing Labour to bury key information on the level of importance of @WarrenFarmNR to endangered species.#WarrenFarm was recommended for protected status in 2017 report- yet Ealing Labour hides this while trying to destroy nature.https://t.co/NVABpXw1Sk

The importance of local biodiversity and green spaces for Londoners' mental health is unquestionable. Proud to push the Mayor on the issue of Warren Farm, urging him to write to the leader of Ealing Council at our last Mayor's Question Time. pic.twitter.com/Q040gzHbEJ
We promised @EalingLD will escalate our #SaveWarrenFarm campaign, and we are.

Today, @HinaBokhariLD, w/ support from @CarolinePidgeon, have challenged @SadiqKhan about why his 're-wild London' plans don't include saving our endangered species at @WarrenFarmNR from Ealing Labour. pic.twitter.com/1p0DsraTZh

“Despite this huge support for all of Warren Farm to become a nature reserve, Ealing Labour Council continues to disregard the local communities’ voices."https://t.co/E6GhB7HsXO
Please see my open letter to the 3 Labour Cabinet members on Ealing Council who voted last night for half of Warren Farm to be used for sport and so allowing harm to be done to the endangered skylark and other species.

We are angry that Ealing Labour has decided to ignore 15,000 petition signatures + local residents and are hellbent on destroying wildlife.@WarrenFarmNR & @EalingLD will be planning further actions to keep campaigning for a safe haven for skylarks & other endangered species. https://t.co/GemGerJ5uh

Turning a chunk of Warren Farm into a sports field is a farce and the experts know it.

We have been unashamedly supportive of the whole @WarrenFarmNR becoming a nature reserve for a long time and will continue to challenge Labour to ensure the whole site is protected. https://t.co/TVihc7DQmS
