Acton Town Centre Market Regeneration Project |
Bringing Acton’s tradition of markets back to life...
In 2005, Action Acton piloted food markets as a way to encourage entrepreneurship in the town, as well as offering something unique that would tempt shoppers to spend time in Acton’s town centre. An application was made to the London Development Agency in 2005 for an Opportunities Fund grant to make the market
a weekly occurrence.
Action Acton was awarded over £700,000 from the London Development Agency to establish sustainable market.
London Development Agency chief executive Manny Lewis said: “From the many excellent applications that we received, we have sought to select projects that will have the greatest impact in disadvantaged communities. As well as helping us boost the urban environment, this fund will have a major impact on local economies and the lives of thousands of Londoners. I am especially pleased by the number of projects being led by the voluntary sector and by minority groups, and I hope these type of partnerships will continue to increase.”
In 2006 Ealing Council revamped the pedestrianised area opposite Morrison’s in King Street/The Mount to give it an open, community feel and to bring Acton’s tradition of markets back to life. The space was allocated to Action Acton to use for the Acton Market.
