One borough , eight town areas , many people , businesses and communities with different needs and opportunities , we want to work together across the borough .
1 NORTHOLT
Northolt has largely been left behind in terms of investment and enhancement over the last few decades , therefore it is a priority area of focus for the council . Its strategic location offers a unique opportunity to bridge growth and investment opportunities of national significance at Heathrow and Old Oak Common . There is great potential to pilot forward-looking initiatives to stimulate a green recovery , with the potential to deliver 6,000 sqm of additional employment floorspace through new and enhanced commercial centres and intensification of industrial uses , creating 4,000 new jobs by 2035 as part of a locally-led vision for the future of the area .
2 GREENFORD
Greenford is a suburban area located close to the A40 corridor that developed around a historical town centre to the south and an industrial area further north with key manufacturing and distribution businesses . There is much potential for employment-led development and industrial intensification opportunities and improved connectivity in and around the town centre and public transport nodes . Through use of its own assets , the council will seek to catalyse a more diverse and resilient local economy and will help enable the creation of 2,000 sqm additional employment floorspace and 300 new jobs by 2025 .
3 SOUTHALL
Southall is a cultural destination of national importance and is a growing neighbourhood , with the new Elizabeth line offering fast and regular connections to Heathrow and central London . Although significant development is already underway , including the Green Quarter , a new commercial neighbourhood to complement the existing town centre , there remains much potential to bring new jobs to the area to make the local economy more diverse and resilient and better capitalise on its proximity to Heathrow and the A312 . Collaborating with Southall stakeholders , the council will deliver a Business EXPO that will raise the profile of existing businesses and promote Southall as a top destination for new business . This will hopefully build local support for the pursuit of a Business Improvement District for Southall .
4 PERIVALE
Perivale is well served by fast and frequent underground trains on the central line and local buses to link to the main high streets . Perivale is an established logistics and trading estate location which has developed over several decades . There is strong demand in these areas due to the access to the A40 providing quick direct links from regional hubs and then onwards to central London . Borough-wide industrial land capacity analysis will seek to identify opportunities for employment-led intensification on industrial land , with a focus on creating new jobs for local residents .
5 HANWELL
Hanwell is a historic area with a bustling high street and independent stores . Through the Ealing High Streets Taskforce , investment will be focused towards improving the physical environment of the town centre and diversifying the commercial offer so greater numbers of Ealing residents , and beyond , are encouraged to visit Hanwell and support its local economy .
6 EALING
As a Metropolitan Centre , central Ealing plays a key role in the borough ’ s economy , providing a huge range of commercial and civic amenities for Ealing residents and beyond . Its commercial role is reinforced by two Businesses Improvement Districts occupying the area . With excellent public transport accessibility to Heathrow and Central London , this centre is well placed to accommodate further employment-led development with the Uxbridge Road corridor now becoming a cluster of office development .
7 ACTON
North Acton is undergoing significant change as a fast developing area of Ealing . It is identified as one of the key local town centres for new development and will emerge to deliver up to 2500sqm of town centre use for the local area . The Elizabeth Line and proximity to future High Speed 2 station at Old Oak Common transport will make this one of the most accessible locations in the UK and should therefore attract new and growing business sectors potentially becoming a hub of the London West Innovation District that is being pursued by the West London Alliance .
8 PARK ROYAL
Park Royal is London ’ s primary established industrial area and is protected as Strategic Industrial Land by GLA and OPDC policy . It is identified to accommodate 3,390 new jobs , with at least 1,350 of these within Park Royal . Park Royal town centre will span the Ealing and Brent borough boundary and will form a key local destination at the Acton Lane , Park Royal Road junction . The creative hub established within this area will form the Park Royal Design District for the London Design Festival 2021 and is set to be the corner stone of a future Creative Enterprise Zone within the area .
