UP FRONT
Your latest winner
A striking image of a waking, stretching fox in an Acton garden was
voted by residents as their winner of our spring Seasons of Ealing
photo competition.
The picture of the fox, taken by Sheryl Hall, secured an incredible 50%
of votes cast in our public poll on our EalingLondon Facebook page.
It was one of nine photos shortlisted by our panel.
Runner-up was this beautiful picture
of melting ice cream held up to a
blue sky and a tree in blossom –
taken in Ealing by Caroline Page.
In third was a stunning photo of
Walpole Park by Pino Agnello.
Thank you to everyone who took part.

On Saturday, 16 June, Hanwell Carnival
will be held. Catch the famed parade
as it makes its way from Hanwell
Community Centre to Elthorne Park
in Boston Road where the main event
takes place. In the park there will be
music, dance, sport, children’s attractions,
a dog show – and lots more. Visit
www.hanwellcarnival.co.uk for more details.
The event is run and organised by the
community but it is partially-funded by
money from the council’s local ward forums.

Residents will now be urged to use
cashless payments when paying
for Ealing Council services. People
are increasingly paying for services online
through the council’s website or through
smartphone apps or over the phone. It
means that payments can be made at any
time on any day, rather than only when
council offices are open. As a consequence,
cash payment facilities will soon no longer
be available at the council (some services
may provide Paypoint).
