Mission & Purpose

We are one of London’s largest, most diverse boroughs, home to approximately 350,000 residents who strongly identify with our seven towns of Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale and Southall. Ealing is thriving. We are home to iconic film studios, international food production companies and home to part of Park Royal, the largest industrial estate in Europe. Located between the West End and Heathrow, the opportunities for our residents and businesses are exceptional and we have a renewed ambition to help generate jobs and improve lives. We are a council that wants to break with traditional service delivery and listen more closely to what residents really want from us, placing resident engagement at the heart of everything we do. Working with a new administration and newly appointed Chief Executive, we have renewed ambition to help generate jobs and improve lives. Our Council Plan sets out the vision and the following three key priorities for the borough: •Creating good jobs – returning good well-paid jobs to our borough and delivering the next generation of genuinely affordable homes •Tackling the climate crisis – cleaning our air and ensuring the borough we build is sustainable •Fighting inequality – that blights too many lives and disproportionately holds back all too many people from achieving their dreams and aspirations.
