The current plans for Southall Green involve the demolition of the Dominion Car Park and surrounding area to build over 600 new homes in two 19-storey blocks but WITHOUT any improvements in the surrounding infrastructure.

There are no plans to either create additional medical surgeries or school places.

Car parking spaces will be drastically reduced at the Dominion car park. The area already suffers from a chronic traffic congestion, and the car park is the only public space left for residents, visitors and shoppers to park in Old Southall.

Many of us – residents and businesses – have objected to these plans and the Government has now agreed to hold a Public Inquiry to hear our concerns on 11 October 2022.

We all agree that Southall needs positive improvements, but that vision must be people-led and not by set building developers whose main interest is in making profit.

There is a planned protest taking place against the towering development outside Ealing Town Hall on Tuesday from 9am to 12 noon.

Those wishing to take part in the protest can get FREE transport from outside the Havelock Road Gurdwara. The coach will depart at 8:30 am and the return journey from Ealing will be at 10am, for those who unable to give more of their valuable time.
