For the past 4 months, I and other residents have been asking Ealing Council, our Northfield Councillors and even our MP some very basic questions on the proposed Elthorne Park High School Street proposal and Consolidation Order. Where are the full details of the Elthorne Park School Street Order? Why can’t we see the “independent” HUP Initiatives consultant report? Why were ANPR cameras installed before the consultation closed? Was the June 2025 Consolidation Order, which revoked 35 School Street schemes in one sweep, even lawful? Why are FOI requests and Regulation 21 information requests being ignored or withheld? Yet no one will reply The Wall of Silence after 4 months of chasing: 1)The Council won’t disclose FOI ignored and withheld. After a formal complaint to the ICO they are in contact with Ealing Council to ensure that they comply with their legal obligations. This would not be happening if the Council had been transparent and had followed the law.  2)Councillors won’t engage Not one reply from our three Northfield Councillors, or from Cabinet Members, or from the Council Leader Peter Mason. 3)The MP won’t intervene with the governance and transparency issues, saying they are “for the Council to answer" This wall of silence undermines democracy in Ealing. If you share these concerns about transparency and accountability, please add your voice. Silence should never be the Council’s default response to constituents. ✍️ Please sign and share the petition: https://chng.it/zgxxtHG8mc to demand Fair School Streets in Ealing – Demand Data, Consultation, Accountability and Transparency. This petition is for all Ealing residents — whether you support or oppose School Streets — who believe public policy must be: Transparent Evidence-based Lawful Open to challenge and scrutiny We all want safe streets for children. But these schemes must follow due process, statutory consultation rules, and legal accountability standards — and right now, there is credible concern those standards are not being met, especially when ANPR cameras are installed before the consultation even closed! Thank you in anticipation of your support.
