Whether you like shopping or eating Asian food, Southall has it all. This project will build on that reputation by giving local young people a purpose-built facility and the opportunity to learn skills and gain jobs in the food industry. DINE IN SOUTHALL “This project will merge the area’s history and traditions with the future by transforming the manor house into a place people want to go to enjoy great food, hold an event or get involved in community activities.” Garry Phillips, chief executive of Ealing, Hammersmith and West London College, said: “This is a fantastic opportunity for people being able to learn and earn. It is an innovative, new and exciting development that has also got a wealth of history and is in the heart of Southall.” WHAT IS NEXT? The council has secured £1million for the project including £770,000 from the Mayor of London and have bid for another £900,000 with the help of the college. Plans for the project are scheduled
