A big thank you is being said to all households within Ealing who have taken the time to complete their Census 2021 questionnaires.

However, for those who haven’t yet completed their census, time is running out.

Jane Ward, census engagement manager for Ealing West, said “We have had a fantastic response to the census in Ealing. I’d like to say thank you to everyone who has completed so far.

“We do want to make sure that everyone in Ealing counts, and therefore urge any household that has not yet responded to do so.”

Jane added, “Your response is vital and the information that you give means all the services we rely on, like school places, healthcare and emergency services, are planned and funded using accurate and up to date information.

“It is vital to the Ealing community as a whole that everyone completes their questionnaire.”

Residents are being reminded that completion of the census questionnaire is a legal requirement and may result in a fine of up to £1,000 being issued if it is not returned. Individuals may also need to complete a form for a second address, and students should complete one for their usual term-time address.
