Make a change
Supporting improvement ideas put forward by
local people continues to prove a popular part
of the work of the borough’s 23 ward forums, as
shown in Hanwell recently.
T
his was the case when
members of a group
attended a meeting of
Cleveland ward forum to
speak about their ideas to transform
parts of Copley Close Estate.
The representatives of Hanwell
Big Local – a partnership of residents
and local organisations formed to
improve the lives of people living
in Gurnell Grove, Copley Close,
High Lane and Cuckoo estates – put
forward their plans for developing
an orchard trail, a communal garden
at Gurnell, a growing project at
Copley – and also for converting
disused woodland there into a new
community space.
Like all the ward forums,
Cleveland’s meets at least twice a
year and is attended by residents
and headed-up by three elected
councillors. At this particular
meeting, the forum supported the
group’s ideas and it was decided to
pledge £10,000 from Cleveland’s
budget. This money contributed
to a ‘crowdfunding’ campaign run
by Hanwell Big Local and Cultivate
London for Copley Close that
recently reached its goal of raising
£180,000 for the project.
Crowdfunding allows donations,
whether big or small, to be made
towards a particular scheme from
a large number of people. One
crowdfunding website called Space
Hive has a dedicated section for civic
projects in Ealing – and it has helped
eight local events, including the
Hanwell and Acton Christmas fairs,
raise enough money to be held.
