Embed culture in town centre placemaking using lights, graphics and landmarks, with artists at the heart of transformation. This could include a public art programme linking with borough-wide themes of cultural narratives. Thematic heritage-based wayfinding would establish and promote cultural destinations.
There is a need for better wayfinding and quality of place in Ealing's unique town centres and an opportunity to embed culture as part of this to strengthen Ealing's image as a creative place.
Town centres borough- wide, including heritage-led regeneration opportunities at Wharncliffe Viaduct, Marshall Building, St Bernards Chapel, Acton St Mary's, King's Methodist.

Create a satellites outreach programme, taking creative activity to estates and schools in neighbourhood areas, focusing on those communities who are least likely to engage with the creative economy.
Cultural and creative education promotes artistic expression, enhance social skills and wellbeing, and helps deliver skills for a variety of employment tracks. This initiative would cultivate a vibrant cultural ecosystem for future generations.
