Statement by
Cllr Peter Mason, Leader of
Ealing Council
“Ealing might be known as the Queen of the Suburbs, but there is so much more to our history and our economy beyond the W5 postcode.
We are seven towns, each with a sense of purpose, identity, and pride. Seven places with history, culture and opportunity for the communities that make them special.
We are London’s breadbasket, with some of the biggest food producers at Park Royal. We are the home of loud, where Marshall built his first amp. We are cinema’s best kept secret, with the oldest and the biggest number of studios and production suppliers. And we are the capital of British Asian culture and retail in the jewel of the crown that is Southall.
So much of what makes London a great city also creates some of its biggest challenges, so in Ealing we are forging that new path, by focussing our efforts and our investments in bringing good, well-paid jobs back, and bringing wealth and resilience to every part of the borough.
We are looking for investors who share our values on good growth and community-led regeneration. We need support from public and private sector partners to help us deliver 4,000 genuinely affordable homes and 10,000 new good jobs by 2026, whilst also tackling the climate crisis by investing in active travel and green infrastructure, and fighting inequality by finding new ways to deliver community and open spaces.
In a post-pandemic world, so many more Londoners are embracing the chance to live a healthier, more balanced life in which they can work, socialise, exercise and enjoy life closer to home. The revival of our local shopping parades, the growth of our office corridor, and the productivity in our industries is making that happen.
Contact us today if you want to become part of our story.”

Ealing Council’s Plan and three priorities
The council is here to serve local residents and we will put that at the heart of everything we do. We will partner with stakeholders and investors who share that vision and our values.
We have three top priorities for the borough which are:
Creating good jobs
Rebuilding our economy, returning good well-paid jobs to our borough and delivering the next generation of genuinely affordable homes.
Tackling the climate crisis
Greening our borough, cleaning our air and ensuring the borough we build is sustainable.
Fighting inequality
Relentlessly tackling poverty and inequality that blights too many lives and disproportionately holds back all too many people from achieving their dreams and aspirations.
