Great news on Heathrow and Crossrail!

After campaigning vigorously to ensure that Crossrail comes to Ealing and Acton, and also to oppose any further expansion of Heathrow, Angie has welcomed two important announcements by the new Coalition Government that will impact directly on Ealing and Acton residents.

Despite fears during the election campaign, the new Transport Secretary, Philip Hammond, has confirmed that Crossrail funding is safe. This means that Crossrail, a vital component in regenerating both Ealing and Acton town centres, will go ahead bringing enormous benefits with it. Angie will continue her campaign to ensure that the new Crossrail stations will provide residents with all that they need, and that work starts on time.

A further announcement from Mr Hammond has also been widely welcomed across the whole of west London, which is that there will be no third runway at Heathrow. This removes the threat that has blighted the lives of so many west Londoners, including Ealing and Acton residents, for far too long, and the British Airports Authority now appears to recognise that there will be no third runway at Heathrow.
