Ealing Liberal Democrats support residents call to fix Lammas Park footpath

Ealing Liberal Democrats have always wanted Ealing Council to ensure they keep our streets and parks safe, clean and in a beautiful condition. At the weekend Councillor Gary Malcolm visited Lammas Park and has spoken to resident Matt Mellor about some issues raised at a recent local public meeting. 

At the West Ealing Neighbours (WEN) public meeting on Tuesday 14th October, local residents called on Ealing Council to fix the damage to Lammas Park caused by the SUDS (Sustainable Urban Drainage Scheme), in particular the footpath on Elers Road, which has been damaged by heavy works vehicles during the construction of the scheme. Several residents spoke up to say they had reported the damage to the Highways Department and via the Love Clean Streets App but no action has been taken to fix the path. 

Local resident Matt Mellor, who was the meeting, told Councillor Gary Malcolm: “It is unacceptable that the Council isn't fixing the problems caused by the SUDS scheme, especially the potholes and standing water on the damaged Elers Road foothpath. The public meeting highlighted the fact that after two years the SUDS scheme still hasn't been delivered in full by the Council and Thames Water. This is why Ealing Liberal Democrats continue to push for an independent review into the scheme and are encouraging the public to sign our petition to force Ealing Labour to act. The Council needs to learn the lessons to improve how it delivers future schemes and avoid wasting public money.”
