Hanwell inventor receives acclaim

Posted by James Gates on Oct 28, 09 04:51 PM in

THE inventor of the world's first permanently-tied shoelace has received acclaim from a unique source - the British Cheerleading Asssociation (BCA).

Father-of-three Peter Greedy, who lives in Hanwell, got plaudits from the BCA for inventing the Greeper, the shoelace which never comes undone.

Guests are invited to the Green Man Lane Public Exhibition on Saturday October 10.

The latest draft masterplan for the regeneration of the Green Man Lane estate will be available for public view and comment this weekend at Jubilee Hall, at the top of Green Man Lane, West Ealing.

Members of the public, particularly residents of the estate, neighbours and local stakeholders, are invited to come and view the plan and to give their feedback on the work done so far. 

Refreshments will be available. 

Current plans for the project will see the phased demolition of the 464 homes on the estate and 346 new properties built for affordable rent and 91 for shared ownership.  A further 309 homes are being planned and will be available to buy outright. 

In addition to providing new homes and community facilities, the redevelopment is aimed at linking the estate more effectively to West Ealing town centre and contributing to the regeneration of the wider area and community.

The Green Man Lane estate regeneration project in West Ealing has gone live with a website to keep residents, neighbours and stakeholders up-to-date on the £137 million project.

Regular updates will be posted as well as dates of working group meeting and future events and information about the design and construction process.

A group of students took part in a project learning about the Rivers of the World and had their artwork exhibited at a prestigious London landmark.

The 15 students of Brentside High School in Greenford Avenue, Hanwell, were linked with pupils from the Ferences Gimnazium in Budapest, Hungary earlier this year.

OAKLANDS Primary School in Hanwell will be doing its bit for charity with a special event on Friday (October 9).

The school will be taking part in The Big Knit, an event involving Age Concern, Innocent Smoothies and Sainsburys.
