PLANNED improvements to Pitzhanger Manor-House and Gallery will see the Grade One listed building restored to its former glory.

After discussions with residents' groups, a range of projects to support the building's conservation and development are now underway.

The conservation plan will provide a strong basis for bids for external funding to allow Pitzhanger Manor-House and Gallery to be restored and further developed. It is expected this work will be completed by the summer.

Residents have been helping the council with its plans through a stakeholders' group.

Members include representatives from Brentside High School, who have taken part in the gallery's educational programme, Descendents, a youth group who have exhibited in the gallery, Ealing Civic Society, the Ealing Green Conservation Panel, and Walpole Park Residents' Association.

In April 2005, cabinet members at Ealing Council agreed to give £250,000 to fund a range of projects at Pitzhanger Manor-House and Gallery.
