The Council meeting scheduled for Tuesday 30 June 2026 was set to cover a range of significant topics, including the adoption of the West London Waste Plan and the Ealing Council Plan 2026-2030. Attendees were also scheduled to address questions from both the public and council members, and review the political balance and committee appointments.

West London Waste Plan

A key item on the agenda was the West London Waste Plan, a crucial document outlining how waste will be managed across the boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon, Hounslow, and Richmond upon Thames, as well as the Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation area. The plan, which aims to guide waste management until 2041, focuses on safeguarding existing waste sites, promoting circular economy principles, and decarbonising waste transport and processing. The report pack indicated that the plan seeks to ensure sufficient capacity for managing household, industrial, and commercial waste, as well as construction, demolition, and excavation waste, while also addressing hazardous waste management. The plan also includes policies on residual waste management, energy recovery, and the provision of wastewater treatment infrastructure.

Values in Action - Ealing Council Plan 2026-2030

The Council was also scheduled to discuss Values in Action, the Ealing Council Plan for 2026-2030. This strategic document outlines the council's ambitions for the borough over the next four years, guided by three core values: Community for everyone, Growth across all 7 towns, and Power in your hands. The plan details nine missions aimed at improving residents' lives, such as ensuring every child has the best start, enabling healthy and happy lives, securing affordable homes, cracking down on crime, tackling the climate emergency, strengthening pride in neighbourhoods, creating inclusive economic growth, bringing good jobs back to the borough, and delivering sustainable growth for every town. A one-year delivery plan for 2026/27 was also presented, outlining priority actions to achieve these missions.

Questions from Members of the Public and Council

The meeting agenda included time for questions from both members of the public and councillors. Public questions were scheduled to cover topics such as the impact of the NHEHS School Streets scheme on working parents, difficulties in obtaining parking permits for essential workers, the refurbishment of cricket wickets and multi-use games areas at Southall Recreation Ground, the completion of water company works on Teignmouth Gardens, and justification for approving RISE's relocation to Southall amidst concerns about drug use and anti-social behaviour. Councillors were also set to ask questions regarding the financial valuation of Broadway Living, council support for young people not in education, employment, or training (NEET), the date Broadway Living first reported financial difficulty, the new council plan's role in increasing community safety, measures to address ombudsman reports against Ealing Council, and how the new council plan will increase the supply of genuinely affordable homes while benefiting existing residents.

Other Business

The agenda also included standard procedural items such as apologies for absence, declarations of interest, and the approval of minutes from the previous meeting held on 26 May 2026. The Mayor was also scheduled to make announcements, and members of the council were to present any petitions.
