Liberal Democrat councillors have asked questions of the Ealing Council Leader and again made an inspection of the station and surroundings this weekend and say that the Council's promises are just a hollow gesture, due to the lack of progress.

Liberal Democrat Councillor Connie Hersch visited Ealing Broadway this weekend following the response from the Council Leader in June who made a number of promises relating to road enhancement features giving access for those with mobility issues. The single drop off bay after the pedestrian crossing is almost invisible so people stop at bus stops instead. The second bay has been made a loading bay only.

The works still needed to include improvements to the condition of the grassed area in Haven Green, the removal of the electrical substation in the area as well as the new cycle stands on and around the station forecourt.

Clr Hersch said: "The Labour-run Ealing Council Leader made promises and when I visited, I was saddened that his promises appear to be a hollow gesture."

Liberal Democrat Cllr Athena Zissimos said: "Many residents have asked about the environment around Ealing Broadway station given its local importance to residents that use this transport hub, in a word it is a shambles with no end in sight. The one and only drop-off point placed in front of the steps to the station, only just past the zebra crossing is so badly positioned that if you blinked you would miss it and if you were to see it, and it was empty, and dropped off your passenger, if they had mobility issues they would need to move nearly the length of the station to avoid the steps, how much thought went into that?

"What of the bus stops, the temporary bus stops have become nearly permanent, confusion reigns.

"Liberal Democrats expect after so much time, that local residents and visitors, especially those who have disability or mobility issues should be given better treatment by Ealing Council and Transport for London, they have had long enough to work it out and get it right, and most importantly get it done."
