We’re particularly proud that the Unity Centre is continuing to go from strength to strength, offering a quality events and training resource and venue to the community. On page 16 you can read about ‘Make English Work’, a new programme that will be running from February for parents who want to learn English as a second language in order to get into work.

In this issue, you’ll also find advice about reporting crime and anti-social behaviour (p. 20) and on keeping on top of your rent and other finances in the current economic climate (p. 6). Finally, I’d like to invite you to give us a few words of feedback about this magazine by way of our word-search on page 23. In return, we’ll be entering all completed word-searches into a prize draw for three residents to win Argos vouchers.

Did you know that you don’t have to rely upon the waiting list to move home? Fortunegate is part of ‘homeswapper’, a nationwide scheme that sees thousands of tenants joining each month, looking to find a local or national swap in order to transfer to another property. FCH pays the registration fee so that residents can register for free online and log onto www. homeswapper.co.uk. You can search the website and it automatically finds properties that match your needs. ‘Match alerts’ are then sent regularly with details of suitable properties.

  • Draft London Plan: Examination in Public Matter M76 – Transport Schemes and Development Written Statement by the West London Alliance 1
    DRAFT LONDON PLAN: EXAMINATION IN PUBLIC MATTER M76 – TRANSPORT SCHEMES AND DEVELOPMENT WRITTEN STATEMENT BY THE WEST LONDON ALLIANCE 1. Introduction 1.1 This statement is submitted by the West London Alliance (WLA) on behalf of its member authorities: Barnet, Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hammersmith and Fulham, Hillingdon and Hounslow. It deals specifically with the West London Orbital (WLO) London Overground extension, a scheme included in Table 10.1 in the draft London Plan (DLP). It explains how the WLO is necessary to the development of West London envisaged by the DLP and the work done to date to take the project forward, including on funding. It concludes by suggesting some changes to DLP wording, mostly to reflect developments since the original drafting. 2. The West London Orbital Line 2.1 The WLO proposal is for a heavy rail link with a central core between South Acton and Neasden with two branch options at either end – to Hendon/West Hampstead in the north and Hounslow/Kew Bridge to the south. It will involve bringing back into passenger use a 6.4 km length of track currently used for freight (the Dudding Hill Line). 2.2 The WLO will directly link three key opportunity areas (OAs) identified in the DLP: Brent Cross/Cricklewood, Old Oak/Park Royal and the Great West Corridor (see figure 1). It will also significantly improve accessibility to the Wembley and Harrow and Wealdstone OAs. It will serve Hounslow (a DLP metropolitan centre) and DLP district centres at Acton, Harlesden, Neasden, Cricklewood (all identified as regeneration priorities in the DLP) and Brentford.
