I think this is a case of regenerate or die for Ealing town cernte. The future regeneration plans for Dicken's Yard and Arcadia Centre are needed but are some way off in the future. Meanwhile Ealing cernte slips further into decline.It would help if some shop fronts had a lick of paint and cleaned thier windows. There are too many empty shops that have been empty for too long .why?A lot of the shops do not reflect the immediate affulent area and the perception is that Ealing is downtrodden' or becoming that way.I realise the Beales site is not big enough for a John Lewis but a quality department store would help breath new life into Ealing.
