The Campaign for Ealing Performance Arts Centre (CEPAC), is appealing for funding to find out what cultural and leisure activities people want in the town centre.

Last month CEPAC agreed with the Central Ealing Neighbourhood Forum (CENF) that it will commission an independent survey to produce evidence for the new Neighbourhood Plan.

CENF has been successful in winning a government grant to go towards the cost of the survey.

However CEPAC still needs £4,000 to cover the total cost. “This is a crucial step forward to getting the facilities that a borough the size of Ealing should have, but we are confident our supporters will rally round to ensure we raise the balance,” said John Hummerston, CEPAC Chair.

Nick Woolven, CENF Chair, commented: “We know that Arts and Culture are a key part of planning the Ealing’s future, but what do people really want to see in the new Cultural Quarter? We need firm evidence of what will help bring visitors back into central Ealing, and to find out what will be commercially viable.”

The report will be available to all.

Ealing is current planning its Cultural Quarter, an area which lies between the old Empire Cinema site and Mattock Lane. There is a potential compulsory purchase as part of the Council’s broad plan for the quarter, which may be redeveloped by Land Securities. Both the Council and Land Securities have already encouraged the running of a survey.
