"Perhaps the best way to handle schemes for the regeneration of Ealing is to have a proper confidential local vote on big individual controversial issues.  Then we would get a true picture of what the majority of residents want.  "

This does however overlook the rather key point that the land is owned by a landowner who has to be given some say over how it's used. At present we seem to be in a position whereby locals want to have their cake and eat it. We want a thriving town centre with good facilities and want to dictate how it should work but expect someone else to make the very substantial investment required.

Replacement of the Arcadia Centre and the associated development over the railway tracks is an extremely risky commercial proposition due to the need to insure against accidents that could disrupt the rail services for a prolonged period, as was the case in a recent Tesco development.

The risk of the development means that a developer can only do it cost effectively by building high to mitigate for the substantial insurance costs associated with the build - we're talking tens of £millions here.

Which brings us back to where we started. If we won't allow a developer to build high, there's unlikely to be any development at all and our town centre will continue on its inevitable path of decline.
