This is Jason — campaign lead for the Greystoke petition — with an urgent update.
New data has just come to light that every resident of North Ealing needs to see before the Greystoke development gets approved.
Pedestrian casualties in Ealing jumped 29% in a single year. Four of the six people killed on Ealing's roads in 2024 were on foot. That's not a statistic — that's four of our neighbours who didn't come home.
And the roads surrounding the Greystoke site? Already among the most dangerous in Britain.
🔴 Hanger Lane Gyratory — officially named the UK's most stressful junction in a 2025 national study, and the 10th most stressful in the world. It carries nearly 10,000 vehicles per hour at peak. It still breaches the legal nitrogen dioxide pollution limit.
🔴 The A406 North Circular — a motorcyclist was killed here in August 2025. A lorry overturned on the gyratory in June 2024. The North Circular was taped off after a crash near Ealing with two taken to hospital. These aren't rare events — they're a pattern.
🔴 Queen's Drive itself — where 1,400 girls arrive and leave Ellen Wilkinson School every single day. The school's own environment is rated "below average" for air pollution and traffic accidents. There is no School Street scheme protecting them.
Now TT Group wants to add 190 new homes — hundreds of additional vehicle movements daily — into this already overwhelmed network. With no independent traffic safety review. No school capacity assessment. No GP impact study.
And National Highways, in their own official statement to Ealing Council, admitted bluntly: "We cannot cater for unconstrained traffic growth generated by new developments."
We are not anti-housing. We are pro-safety. Pro-evidence. Pro-community.
If this development is approved without proper impact studies, the people who will pay the price are the pedestrians, the parents, and the schoolgirls of North Ealing.
