"Let's talk about Transport"

Angie has been overwhelmed by the massive response to her transport survey that was sent last October to 30,000 homes across Ealing and Acton. She asked detailed questions about local public transport, preferred modes of transport, safety on public transport, local road management and the plans for further expansion at Heathrow airport.

Two issues stand out clearly: 51% of those who responded support the Conservative pledge to scrap the Heathrow expansion, while 22% oppose it. On Crossrail, 69% agree with Angie's statement that it is vital for the future of Ealing, while only 7% disagree. Commenting on the scale of the responses Angie says, "I am really excited by the huge response to this survey. It just proves how important the issue of transport is locally and the information I have got back will really help to direct my transport campaigns."
