Cabinet member for Good Growth and New Homes
Ealing Council is addressing viability concerns for housing developments and delays in financial planning for leisure facilities.
Ealing Council's Cabinet Member for Good Growth and New Homes, Councillor Shital Manro, presented a report in November 2025 leading to the scrapping of The Green housing development in Southall. This decision followed Peabody Developments Limited confirming the project was no longer financially viable, resulting in the decommissioning of a £16.4m capital budget.
Separately, in October 2025, Councillor Manro faced questions regarding delays in publishing a financial plan for the new Gurnell Leisure Centre. Councillor Fabio Conti raised concerns at a council meeting about the plan, which Ealing Council had promised to publish by autumn 2025.
