Ealing Council is under pressure to publish a full financial plan for the new Gurnell Leisure Centre, after delays prompted a question from Councillor Fabio Conti to Councillor Shital Manro, Cabinet member for Good Growth and New Homes, at a council meeting on Tuesday, 21 October 2025.
The council had originally promised to publish the plan by autumn 2025. While the meeting agenda shows the question was raised during a session devoted to questions from members of the council, the reason for the delay remains unclear.
Councillor Conti's question, documented in the Oral Questions 21 October 2025 , implies concern about the delay itself, though it did not specify particular aspects of the plan that were of concern.
The Gurnell Leisure Centre project has been a significant topic in Ealing, with residents eager to see progress. The financial plan is anticipated to provide details on the project's costs, funding sources, and projected revenue, offering transparency to the public.
