In the run up to the May 2026 Ealing Council elections, we compared the environmental policies of the different political parties.
Plant More Trees and Improve Green Spaces, More Resilient Communities and Say No to Harmful Developments were the top three environmental issues chosen by people who took part in an unofficial poll organised by Ealing Friends of the Earth (see article below).
Visitors to Ealing Animals Fair on March 7 were asked which environmental policies they considered the most important in the run-up to local council elections on May 7. The results were brought together in a 'Charter of Hope' and will be forwarded to all local candidates.
'Plant More Trees and Improve Green Spaces' was given 28 votes out of a total of 134 while 'More Resilient Communities' and 'Say No to Harmful Developments' both received 26 votes.
...but what are the new councillors likely to give Ealing?
Ealing Friends of the Earth looked at the manifestos and promises of the different parties fielding candidates in Ealing and judged them against what people told us they wanted.
