Councillor Bassam Mahfouz, Labour abinet member for transport, environment and leisure, said:

We were in the process of developing plans that would change stop and shop parking in the borough, however after listening carefully to feedback from local shops and businesses we have decided to stop working on these proposals.

“Ealing Council is a staunch supporter of our borough’s shops and businesses and there are parts of the borough where the current on-street parking arrangements do not work as well as they could for local traders, shoppers or residents. That is why I am launching a review of our parking arrangements in town centres and around shopping parades, engaging with traders and businesses, to look into how they can work better for everyone.”
