| Like a lot of local papers now the Gazette and its sister titles are just advertising vehicles now, with a lot of press releases passed off as news. If there’s nothing worth reading people won’t read it. Luckily we have the council’s Around Ealing magazine to bring us the hard news. I’ve had three copies delivered to my house this week. Triple delight. As for the new method of handing out money to various areas it isn’t really democratic. Ealing, for example, has areas like Northfields and South Ealing that don’t really benefit from anything in the town centre. At least under the old system of ward forums there was a pot of cash to be used for genuinely local needs, and the forums themselves were important outlets for information, discussion and holding local councillors to account. Clearly the Labour lot dislike the scrutiny so did away with them. Now it’s increasingly difficult to find out much of what’s planned. Odd that, for an ‘open, honest and transparent’ administration. |
