We are at the Reduce and Recycle Hub at Acton Market, Saturday 4th February 2023

Our Stall

Ealing Friends of the Earth will have a stall at Acton Market again on Saturday 4th February 2023, from 10am. Visit us for the latest on the crisis facing Ealing’s green spaces with the Council’s proposals in its draft Local Plan to strip them of their Green Belt status or of the similar MOL (Metropolitan Open Land) status – more on Green Belt here. We also discuss other aspects of the Local Plan and whether it really tackles climate change in our detailed response.

This has alarmed CPRE London (part of the national CPRE countryside charity) who have also expressed deep concern at Ealing Council’s proposals to remove protections from seven large green spaces in the borough. They say, “Metropolitan Open Land sites, which have the same level of protection as Green Belt, including Acton Park shown here, will lose their protection completely if residents don’t act now“.

You can also ask about our United for Warm Homes campaign, for tips on reducing your home electricity bills, and on what we as citizens need to do to make the UK more energy self-sufficient and tackle climate change.
