Funding boost for Southall regeneration
24th January 2012An “ambitious” three-year initiative which aims to enhance the appearance and safety of Southall in west London will benefit from almost £7 million in funding.
It is hoped the investment in the Southall Broadway Urban Realm project will create 40 new businesses and 200 new jobs, at a time when many areas across the country are struggling with high unemployment and empty shops litter town centres.
As well as regenerating the town centre and creating jobs, the funding will be used to tackle traffic problems along the Uxbridge Road corridor and develop loading and parking bays along the main road.
Ealing Council recently secured £4.35m of investment from the Mayor of London’s Regeneration Fund to help pay for the project, which has also received Local Implementation Plan funding from TfL and council funds.
Council leader Julian Bell said: “It’s fantastic that we’ve been able to secure this funding and can now start to deliver some of our ambitious plans for the regeneration of Southall.”
