Are there any issues with TfL’s approach?” As a residents’ association serving some 2,000 households in the Northfields/South Ealing area we are particularly concerned about the increased difficulties which will be experienced by our members and their neighbours in accessing relocated hospital provision if the existing bus networks are not revised. 2 NORTH WEST LONDON HOSPITAL REORGANISATION At present Ealing Hospital provides a 24/7 accident and emergency service for our residents. It is also the location for specialist out-patient clinics and the conducting of tests requested by our GP’s. As shown on the attached TfL spider map, Ealing Hospital is exceptionally well served by the bus network with stops in the Uxbridge Road and also includes an on-site bus station where some routes terminate. These bus routes extend into much of the patient hinterland served by the hospital. They provide a high level of accessibility for both patients and their families and friends. It is particularly beneficial for older out-patients and clinic attendees who do not have access to private cars. Under the forthcoming NHS reorganisation, the role of Ealing Hospital will be revised with many key facilities being transferred to other sites. The Accident and Emergency department will be transferred to upgraded facilities at the West Middlesex and Northwick Park Hospitals. A copy of the NHS press release announcing these changes is attached. 3 BUS ACCESS TO WEST MIDDLESEX HOSPITAL At present bus access to the West Middlesex Hospital is unnecessarily difficult for the residents of central and southern Ealing due to the premature termination of the existing bus routes. The same problem exists for the residents of Hanwell and Southall. Bus access to Northwick Park Hospital is even worse for these residents. EFRA Submission to LATC Investigation of Bus Services 1 EFRA SUBMISSION TO THE LONDON ASSEMBLY TRANSPORT COMMITTEE’S INVESTIGATION INTO BUS SERVICES IN LONDON In the case the West Middlesex Hospital, a one mile extension of the existing E2 and E8 routes from Commerce Road in Brentford to the hospital forecourt would massively improve the hospital’s accessibility to those new patents and their families who live in central Ealing and to the south of the Uxbridge Road. Similarly, extending route 195 from Brentford town centre to the West Middlesex Hospital forecourt would proved a stepwise improvement in the hospital’s accessibility to the residents of Southall. We have attached copies of the relevant TfL spider maps to this submission. In addition to extending the E2, E8 and 195 routes to West Middlesex Hospital, it would be immensely helpful if sheltered bus stands could be constructed at the hospital for the routes which would terminate there, along the lines of the existing arrangements at Ealing Hospital. As the West Middlesex Hospital has been selected as one of the key future 24/7 Accident and Emergency Hospitals, it would also be beneficial if the route of the N9 night bus could be extended to include a short extension detour to the hospital forecourt. In addition to providing access for patients and their families, this would also assist hospital workers. We therefore ask that the Committee includes the implications of the changing geographic pattern of hospital provision in its considerations and specifically considers the circumstances of West London where only marginal bus route extensions would provide disproportionate benefits to hospital users and residents. EFRA Submission to LATC Investigation of Bus Services 2 EFRA SUBMISSION TO THE LONDON ASSEMBLY TRANSPORT COMMITTEE’S INVESTIGATION INTO BUS SERVICES IN LONDON 4 EALING FIELDS RESIDENTS’ ASSOCIATION Ealing Fields Residents' Association has been in existence since 1974. We have a subscription membership of over 500 residents and cover the areas of Northfields and South Ealing shown on the map below. We also work closely with the residents of the roads which border our core membership area, as so many problems are common to all of us.

Environmental impacts, including to the river are satisfactory, and the scheme would also remove unsightly wrecks and rubbish from the site, whilst new landscaping to the park would enhance its appearance and opportunities for its use. 1.3 Detailed conditions covering demolition work and construction, including within the river would minimise environmental effects, whilst other conditions controlling the management of the moorings would ensure ongoing operational impacts are satisfactory and not disruptive to the use of the river or adjacent park. 1.4 The application is recommended for approval subject to conditions. 2.0 SITE DESCRIPTION 2.1 The application site is comprised of Watermans Park and a stretch of the adjacent River Thames. Watermans Park is a landscaped open space alongside the Thames, with an area of appropriately 1.1 hectares.
