The Ealing Post covers the London borough of Ealing: Ealing Broadway and West Ealing, Ealing Common, Northfields and Pitshanger, Acton, Southall, Greenford, Perivale, Northolt and Hanwell. We report what turns up in the public record, the planning applications the council advertises ward by ward, the decisions taken at Ealing Council, police crime figures, and the businesses opening and closing across W3, W5, W7, W13, UB1, UB2, UB5 and UB6. We also keep the everyday information you look up more than once accurate and in one place, checked against the source and dated.
Every fact here comes from a named public source: Ealing Council’s own newsroom and registers, the weekly planning lists on the council’s Public Access system, open crime data from the Metropolitan Police, HM Land Registry sold prices, the Food Standards Agency’s hygiene register for Ealing, and notices in The Gazette. We link to that source so you can check it yourself, and we say when we last updated a figure. One local caution we apply to our own reporting: names here travel further than boundaries do. Chiswick is in Hounslow, Hayes and Yeading are in Hillingdon, Ealing Road in Alperton is in Brent, and only the southern end of Park Royal is ours, so we check the postcode before we call something an Ealing story. If we get something wrong, tell us and we will correct it.
