| Pitshanger Community Association works for the
benefit of the Pitshanger area. Pitshanger is
a community of about 3,000 households located within
the London Borough of Ealing. The Pitshanger
area already has a lot going for it - a lovely park,
an excellent range of local shops and restaurants on
Pitshanger Lane and great community spirit.
The PCA aims to foster and improve on all of this,
and more.
So what does the PCA actually do? We run two
major community events each year,
Party In The Park
and Light Up The Lane.
These events have the twin objectives of bringing
the local community together and raising funds for
PCA community projects and local charities.
Pitshanger Park has been the focus of recent PCA
projects. Working with Ealing Council Parks
and Countryside Department, we have provided
improved play apparatus, a set of picnic tables and
new gates at the park entrance. We have also
made donations to a number of local charities
including Meadow House Hospice.
Each year we hold public meetings on
local issues.
Lively debates have taken place on traffic and
parking, graffiti, vandalism and prevention of
crime. We also publish a newsletter, which
keeps members informed of local events and PCA
activities.
With over 1,000 members, the PCA can speak for a
significant proportion of the local population,
something that carries weight in our dealings with
local decision takers.
As for the future, we are in the process of
establishing a charitable trust to focus on fund
raising for major projects, particularly in
Pitshanger Park.
