West London Citizens

As part of our Southall Group ministry we are is part of West London Citizens – an organisation that brings together people from many different communities across West London to take joint action on issues that affect us all.

West London Citizens aims to empower schools, faith groups, trade unions and residents’ associations: helping them to influence local government and promote social justice.

Here in Southall, West London Citizens has run a successful ‘Bin the Rats’ campaign – persuading the local council to provide wheelie bins rather than the plastic bags that allowed rats to eat refuse left out for collection.  We also persuaded Ealing Council to pay the London Living Wage to its school dinner ladies.
